Chillin With RHOD’s Tiffany Moon and Three Moons Wine

Award-winning anesthesiologist, frontline worker, supermom to six-year-old twins, and philanthropist, Dr. Tiffany Moon, is not only the newest housewife and fan-favorite of Bravo’s popular reality series Real Housewives of Dallas, but the franchise’s first medical doctor and first generation Asian-American cast member.

 

Tiffany earned her prestigious medical degree at UT Southwestern, graduating with Alpha Omega Alpha Honors and Distinction in Research.  She completed her residency at the University of California, San Francisco. Her areas of research include the following: obesity, thoracic anesthesia, pain perception under general anesthesia, difficult airways, and neuromuscular blockade and reversal. 

 

Dr. Moon’s immense passion toward medical student and resident education won her the Dennis F. Landers, M.D., Ph.D. Faculty of the Year Teaching Award. She is a critical member of multiple committees for the American Society of Anesthesiologists and is an Oral Board Examiner for the American Board of Anesthesiology.  She also serves on the Board of Directors for the International Society for the Perioperative Care of the Obese Patient. 

 

Accompanied by her husband, Daniel Moon, the couple will soon launch their own private wine collection titled, Three Moons Wine. The Moon’s conceived the idea in 2009, and after much demand from friends, family, and the public, they will finally be releasing a Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc, and an Estate Reserve Proprietary Red, just in time for summer. 

 

Chilled had the chance to catch up with Dr. Moon, to discover more about her new wine, whiskey collection, and bartending past.

Tell us about the projects you are working on.  

Three Moons Wine started as a passion project in 2009 while I was an anesthesiology resident at UC San Francisco. My husband and I would take frequent trips to Napa and fell in love with wine tasting and winemaking. We’ve been sharing our wine with family and friends for a decade and recently expanded our production so that we could share it with even more friends.  

 

With your busy schedule, what do you like to do with your downtime? 

Downtime, what’s that? (Kidding, sort of). My favorite things to do when I’m not working are to spend time with family, play games, and read books.  

 

When you go out to eat, where do you like to dine? 

My favorite type of cuisine is Japanese. I could probably eat sushi every day. During the colder months, I love to eat any kind of noodle soup. 

What types of dishes do you typically order? 

I love things that are a bit spicy, and I’ve been known to carry hot sauce in my purse before. 

 

Any favorite bars? 

I don’t get out to the bars very much these days, but I love the music and ambiance at Mr. Misster and Round Up. I also love the bar in the back of Tei Tei Japanese restaurant. 

 

What drinks do you order when out?  

Three Moons Wine is actually my favorite drink! In the summer when it’s 100 degrees out, I drink the Sauvignon Blanc. If I’m relaxing after work, I’ll drink the Red Proprietary Blend, and for special occasions or when we have guests, I’ll drink the Cabernet Sauvignon.  

 

Do you prepare drinks at home? 

Very seldomly. I’m too impatient to make anything with more than two ingredients, so I usually just pop open some wine. 

 

Tell us about your home bar. What is it stocked with? 

We have an entire bar at the house, which we don’t use very often. My husband was into whiskey so one year I bought him the entire collection of Pappy van Winkle. 

 

Have you ever been a bartender? 

In college I did try bartending but was fired after two shifts because I was being too precise measuring the alcohol, which made me very slow. 

 

If you could share a drink with anyone, who would it be? 

Victoria Beckham. I would ask her about being a working mom, starting her own fashion label, and what it was like to be a Spice Girl!
