podcast· 34:10· Ep 132132. Port de Soller, Mallorca, Balearic Islands, Spain
In this episode, we’re taking you to one of our favourite spots in Spain - Port de Sóller, on the gorgeous island of Mallorca. This little seaside town is all about relaxed vibes, pretty views, and soaking up the sunshine. We spent five nights here, right on the beachfront, in what we think might just be the best accommodation in town, complete with a rooftop terrace and the most incredible views over the bay. We’ll share all the highlights from our stay: strolls along the palm-lined promenade, lazy days on the beach and the scenic tram ride to the nearby village of Sólle with its pretty architecture amazing cathedral and cobblestone streets. One of our best days was a boat trip along the dramatic coastline, stopping to swim in hidden coves, explore a sea cave, and visit the stunning Sa Calobra beach tucked between towering cliffs. And of course, we’ll talk food - like our sunset dinner at Patiki Beach Bar with seasonal, organic dishes right by the water, and a seafood feast at Kingfis

podcast· 53:11· Ep 573Ep 573: Bruliam's Kerith Overstreet Returns - Her Top Notch Pinot Noir + How to Spark Love for Wine in the Next Gen
In this unique episode, Kerith Overstreet of Bruliam Wines in Sonoma returns to give us an update (she was on Ep 269 in 2019). Kerith/Bruliam is a boutique producer of vineyard-designated wines, mainly of Pinot Noir and she gives us a full education on the differences between some of the main Pinot regions of California. The cool thing about this show? The last third of the podcast is a business discussion about something she and I are always discussing – how to get our kids' generation – Gen Z – to appreciate wine. Kerith's daughter Amelia (the AM in BruliAM), a 21-year-old Gen Z'er, joins to help us analyze the situation and give some advice (she's a smart cookie and has some great insight!). For anyone who has young people in their lives and is wondering how to turn them on to wine, this should be an interesting perspective. Photo: Kerith Overstreet in her vineyard.

Jared Coon: Oral History Interview
This interview is with Jared Coon of Résonance Vineyard. In this interview, Jared speaks about transitioning from chemical engineering to wine studies at Washington State University after watching A Good Year with Russell Crowe. After his initial interest in the science and chemistry behind winemaking, a New Zealand Syrah in 2010 opened his eyes to a passion in wine itself. During school, Jared spent a semester abroad at Lincoln University, where he saw a more complete “grape to bottle” experience of winemaking. His first wine job after college was at 12th & Maple in Dundee, after which he returned to Australia for a harvest in the southern hemisphere. After an additional harvest in California, he set his sights on New Zealand. Here, he worked at two different wineries, extending his working visa to stay for several years, and meeting his future wife in the process. Once again, he added more hands-on experience to his rapidly increasing wine knowledge. In 2019, Jared and his wife moved

Peter Ebbers: Oral History Interview
This interview is with Peter Ebbers of Stirling Wine Grapes. In this interview, Peter speaks his experience in the wine industry, specifically in the vineyard and the cellar, from places like Oregon to Virginia and even New Zealand. Peter was first introduced to wine while studying abroad in Scotland, where colleagues invited him to a wine and cheese club. It was there that the curiosity and passion for wine started. After working as a house painter and a high school English teacher, he took the leap and moved from his home in Vermont to California to work harvest. After a couple more harvest experiences, Peter studied at Lincoln University in New Zealand to better understand the farming behind vineyard work. Here, he learned how to make the most of the land, workforce, technology, capital, and “know-how.” Working in a vineyard shortly after helped to fill in that knowledge with practical experience. With exposure to harvest in both the northern and southern hemispheres, Peter found hi
