  If I Could Talk To My Younger Self - An Unfiltered Conversation with Megan Bell - Margins Wine, Casey Barton - Helia Wine Co. and Alli Badar - Intertidal Wine Co.

  Aug 14, 20261h 32m

  If I Could Talk To My Younger Self - An Unfiltered Conversation with Megan Bell - Margins Wine, Casey Barton - Helia Wine Co. and Alli Badar - Intertidal Wine Co. This is a really special episode today, a recording of an amazing discussion held at Donkey and Goat in July, filled with optimism and camaraderie. Many of you are familiar with Megan Bell and Margins Wine. Megan started Margins in 2016 with an Enology and Viticulture degree from UC Davis and harvests on 3 continents under her belt. At the time she was 1 of only a few women making natural wines in California. From the start Margins was focussed on under-represented areas, grapes and most importantly people. Flash forward 8 years and Megan made the decision that 2024 would be the final Harvest for Margins. Megan fills us in on those years in between, the wins, the struggles, the great times, mistakes, friendships, vineyards, wines and physical and mental health. Andrew Sullivan from Unfiltered Wine Festival invited Megan to tell her story and what she would say if she could talk to her younger self. Joining Megan onstage were Ali Badar of Intertidal Wine Company and Casey Barton of Helia Wine Company. 2 younger women winemakers with amazing projects, each a couple vintages in. It was a really great conversation, I had the pleasure of moderating.

  IWP Ep113 Aaron Brown - Arable

  Jul 31, 20261h 16m

  IWP Ep113 Aaron Brown - Arable. I recently sat down for a great conversation with Aaron Brown of Arable. You might know Aaron from Dos’ Bar or Bardos. Arable is the great new project he’s been working on with the Future Collective of Sonoma. You probably heard the trailer on the podcast for the first panel discussions that were released earlier this year. There are new discussion episodes coming out with folks like previous podcast guests Matt Niess, Chris Renfro and Jack Sporer. If you like the podcast, you’ll really appreciate what Aaron is doing with Arable. It’s available through the Future Collective website and Youtube Chanel and as an audio podcast. Aaron is doing some great interesting work, exploring these hidden gems of Sonoma and shining a light on folks working in the local wine community. You can find links to the episodes for all platforms at https://www.thefuturecollective.org/arable and follow them at thefuturecollective.sv/ to hear about new episodes. Before we start you’ll hear some of the trailer for the episode with a conversation between Matt Niess of North American Press and Chris Renfrom of the 280 project.

  Episode #111

  IWP Ep111 Jake Des Voignes - Heleje Wine Co. w/ Andrew Sullivan

  Jul 3, 20261h 59m

  IWP Ep111 Jake Des Voignes - Heleje Wine Co. w/ Andrew Sullivan. Andrew Sullivan and I recently traveled to Lodi to meet up with Jake Devoiges of Heleje wine company. Jake runs Heleje with his wife Shauna where together they make some great low intervention wines. They moved here after succeeding as Chefs in San Francisco at the highest levels. Jake also farms the 2 family vineyards, The Fernow Ranch and Hartwick Family Vineyard where they live. On both he’s at the forefront of farming in Lodi, starting at organic but pushing through with regenerative practices and utilizing the products of the ranch to help further his goal. They supply fruit to at least 4 producers who have been on the podcast. Jake gave us a great tour of the vineyard and you can hear most of that at the very end of the episode, it’ll give you great insight into the intricacies of what they are doing. On our way there we stopped at the always great Lodi Visitors Center which is a great place to pick up wines made by small Lodi producers or other small producers working with Lodi fruit, everyone that works there is great too. Jake and Shauna are part of this new breed of small producer farming responsibly at a high quality in Lodi. A few of the grapes that they grow have very few other organic sources in California or sometimes none at all. The Heleje wines are always well made, clean wines with minimal or occasionally no sulfur and help show what Lodi is capable of. The white wines especially deserve your attention in a region so famous for Zinfandel. You can follow them at https://www.instagram.com/helejewineco/ and find their wines at https://heleje.myshopify.com/ . Tickets for Unfiltered are on sale, the festival is fast approaching soon, July 25 and 26, 2 days of great winemakers pouring their wines, 3 wonderful panels each day and a chance to catch a few winemakers that you rarely see out in the wild, I hope you can make it.

  Episode #110

  IWP Ep110 Carlos Caruncho - Arquiles Wines

  Jun 19, 202657 min

  IWP Ep110 Carlos Caruncho - Arquiles Wines. I recently sat down with Carlos Caruncho of Arquiles wines outside his home in Nevada City. As some of you may know Carlos is closing Arquiles down to move to England as a consultant and potentially make some wine. He’s lived there before, as well as Cuba where he grew up and the Soviet Union. Carlos along with a group of like minded producers have been showing the high quality, natural 0/0 wines can achieve in the northern foothills. He explains growing up in Cuba, his earliest wine memories and the ways he shepherds through clean and expressive natural wines. There might still be some bottles available through Carlos or your favorite natural wine shop but move fast. Tickets for Unfiltered are on sale, the festival is fast approaching soon, July 25 and 26, 2 days of great winemakers pouring their wines, 3 wonderful panels each day and a chance to catch a few winemakers that you rarely see out in the wild, I hope you can make it.

  Episode #109

  IWP Ep109 Chris McGilvray - Director "Eden" Documentary

  Jun 5, 20261h 37mS0

  <p>I recently connected with Chris McGilvray director of the Documentary “Eden”. Eden follows Mt Eden Winemaker Jeffrey Patterson and his family for over a period of 7 years.   We dive into how Chris found himself shooting a film a couple thousand feet above Silicon Valley, growing up in the heart of the valley, his production and post production process and we fall into a discussion about creativity in general near the end.  Chris has captured a great film and I think it can be enjoyed by wine lovers and others but you’ll probably get a little extra out of it if yo...
