Imagine drinking wine for a grape cause...your cause! We are joined by winemaker, Mari Wells Coyle from One Hope Wines, which has a totally unique and fun way to learn about wines, while making money for your favorite charity!
Think Tupperware party, but MUCH, MUCH more fun! One Hope has set up a business model where you throw a wine tasting party, sampling the amazing wines of One Hope, and proceeds go to your favorite charity...talk about a win/win (or should we say wine/wine). One Hope has donated over $8,000,000 to local and global causes. The mission of One Hope is to share wine and give hope. Their wine is fantastic and their business model makes you feel great about drinking it!
They are excited to announce their new tasting room in the heart of Napa Valley. You can purchase their wines on line and join the wine club, you can support your favorite non-profit, and you can even earn money becoming a cause entrepreneur. Sometimes thinking "outside the bunghole", while listening to Inside the Bunghole can make this world a better place. CHEERS!

WOW is all I can say about Valle de Guadalupe, the wine region that we recently visited just east of Ensenada in Baja Mexico! Quite possibly THE BEST WINES we have ever tasted...and believe me, we have tasted ALOT of wine!
This episode we were so lucky to meet Kristen at Lechuza Wines, and taste what truly is a passion project for her and her family, and you can taste the love in every drop! The winery, which was named for the little owls that occupy the land, was started by Ray and Patty Magnussen in 2005, and released its first vintage in 2007. Kristen, Ray's daughter, has carried on his vision of creating a unique selection of wines. We tasted an amazing Sav. Blanc/Chardonnay blend, Vuelo. Usually If you are a fan of either one of these grapes, you are pretty loyal, but this wine will make a believer out of you!
Kristen's story of what it is like to start and run a family business, a winery, in a small town south of the border, raising a family and being an entrepreneur is fascinating and WE hope will make you want to visit one of the most untapped wine regions IN THE WORLD! Easy to get to, beautiful, safe, some of the most amazing people you'll find anywhere, and the wines (over 300 wineries)are PHENOMENAL...put this one on your bucket list!

Walla Walla, Washington. Home to sweet onions and now a booming wine economy! We sit down with Joanne Dunham, founder of Dunham Cellars, one of the regions pioneers, blazing the trail for Washington wine makers. We talk about the founding of her winery with her husband, Mike and son, Eric. We talk about how this farmer's daughter, who never saw herself growing into the life of a vintner, became founder of one of Walla Walla's most trusted and celebrated wineries.
Dunham Cellars has been family owned and operated for over 25 years, with 2 estate vineyards that provide the foundation for their acclaimed wines. We talk to Joanne about the growing wine scene in Walla Walla, her portfolio of delicious wines, some of their pet (and I mean pet) projects and how the vineyard has grown over the years. We also talk about how important the wine club members are to Dunham Cellars and what benefits the members receive for their loyalty!
Come join Pam, James and Don as they find out more about Dunham Cellars and Walla Walla, WA in this fun episode.

Place your seatbacks up and put your trays in the upright position as we taxi the runway to one of the most unique destinations for wine tasting around, Bouschet wine bar! In a retro strip mall in South Palm Springs, CA there is a little wine bar with big surprises inside! Join us as we chat it up with the owners Dennis Costa and Tom Beatty, each bringing their passion and knowledge to wow their customers!
Dennis has an extensive winemaking background. His family actually had a farm and grew wine grapes. Early in his career Dennis worked for Mondavi wines, personally farming 200 acres from planting to harvesting, before they sold the farm to Sebastian Vineyards.
Tom was an international flight attendant for 33 years, traveling to every continent except for Antartica (which has limited capacity for growing good grapes for wines 😆). During his travels he enjoyed many different cultures, largely through the food and wine!
These 2 together have developed such an amazing venue, you really need to see it to believe it! The wine shop offers beautiful boutique wines from around the world, value priced, and each with a great story. You can also find everything to make a tasty charcuterie board, or lovely, unique hostess gifts. But just you wait til your boarding gate is announced and you walk in to the "other side" to enjoy a glass of wine and something to nibble on from their menu, or enjoy one of their famous wine tasting events...when I say this place will take you worlds away, I mean it! You enter what is an astonishing replica of a commercial airliner fuselage complete with fun and funny iconic airplane themed scenes out each of the windows. Whether you are sitting in first class or coach, you will surely enjoy your trip!
Find out what made these two guys take off on this amazing adventure as we go on a trip Inside the Bunghole with Bouschet's owners Dennis and Tom. And if you are in Palm Springs, make sure to make this one of your destinations!
