One jar of wine jelly helped launch a business that now gives Arizona makers a place to shine.

Birdman visits d'Vine Gourmet in downtown Chandler to meet owner Denise McCreery and hear how a small food business became what he calls "shop local in a store."

From handmade caramels and savory snacks to gift baskets, wine, and locally crafted treasures, Denise shares the thinking behind a shop she says carries more than 150 Arizona vendors. Discover how she chooses products, why she buys directly from makers, and how her shelves give emerging entrepreneurs a chance to introduce their work to customers.

The conversation also takes a seat in the bottle shop and wine lounge, where the historic downtown Colonnade offers a place to unwind, visit with friends, and watch Chandler go by. And those towering ostriches? Denise shares the story behind the artwork the business helps care for—and her commitment to preserving downtown's character.

Listen, then stop by and tell Denise Birdman sent you. Whether you're choosing a gift or exploring your own neighborhood, there's a local story waiting on the shelf.

Join the conversation: What Arizona-made product would you put in a gift basket to show someone what you love about this state?
