Melanie and David in Virginia

Welcome to The Connected Table! We are Melanie Young and David Ransom, a.k.a. “the insatiably curious culinary couple.” We connect you to the people who shape the world of fine food, beverage and hospitality and to the people who enjoy eating, drinking and traveling the world.

We host a weekly national radio show and podcast, The Connected Table Live and The Connected Table SIPS (our branded content), and we both write and speak about wine, and produce wine and food events of all sizes. Our podcast is ranked #3 on Feedspot and was nominated for a national award in 2020. Since 2014 we have interviewed more than 600 global thought leaders in fine food and beverage around the world.

What we can do for you:
We create custom content (articles, podcasts, blog posts), produce educational and experiential events and offer communications training to help you promote and sell your brand and share your fabulous story with the world.
