(2019) Southern Oregon is booming when it comes to vineyards. There's so much activity, it's spreading towards the coast...which is where we find this week's guests.
On this episode, we take you to where the Umpqua River Valley meets the Oregon Coastal Range for the story behind Brandborg Vineyards & Winery. It's the tale of a winemaker who's blazed quite a trail through this country, finally landing in Elkton where he's built a renowned facility. Then, we're off to Newberg to the home of Nicolas-Jay wines for the story of how a lady and two gentlemen have staked their own claim in the Willamette Valley.
Join host Brian Calvert for all this, plus Master of Wine Bob Betz of Betz Family Winery stops by to answer our wine questions, Justin Stiefel of Heritage Distilling Company mixes-up our "Drink of the Week," and the "Wine Moms" will have a wine recommendation.
(2019) Every now and then we take you some place unexpected for a real treat, and this week's show is definitely in this category.
Last month, we visited the Hawaiian Island of Kauai for the first time, and got a chance to meet a local producer who makes something a little different. What do you know about mead? On this episode, we meet the islanders behind Nani Moon Meadery, where we learn mead isn't as sweet as you might expect.
