A Little-Known Fun Fact About Tina’s Career:
- Around the mid-1990s, Tina accidentally pitched a wine story to a vile porno magazine. It was accepted, so she went ahead with the assignment—and several more after that. That sweet gig abruptly ended then Tina’s editor informed her that his boss was pulling the plug on wine stories, asserting: “Most of our subscribers are incarcerated, so they don’t have access to wine.” Oh, come on! You’ve never heard of pruno?
