Inside the Bunghole...A Journey through Wine

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!

Episode 7-Paul Warson, Man on a Mission!

Send us a text

We had the amazing opportunity to sit down in the backyard of renowned winemaker Paul Warson to discuss his newest venture...his own label, Warson Wine. With the support of his many contacts in the wine community, and a (strong) nudge from his wife, he was able to launch his own brand.
We talk about his background, being the winemaker and general manager of Firestone, in the Santa Ynez Valley for Bill Foley. We ask him about some of the challenges he's faced launching his own brand. We hear about his education at UC Davis, where at the 11th hour he switched his major to Fermentation Science, and how his parents took that news! And how he is becoming involved with the #lawinemovement, sourcing more and more of his grapes from the LA County wine region. We know you'll be hearing more about Warson Wine. They are some of the best wines we've had!

Passion 4 Pinots!!

Send us a text

We are so excited to sit down with Dave Fraschetti, who puts on several wine events in California including Vin Diego in San Diego, Rancho Mirage Food and Wine Festival, and the Palm Springs Pinot Noir Fest. He gives us some insight on what it takes to put on such an event and why his events have been so successful!
Dave's philosophy is really about educating. He is very selective about which wineries are invited to participate in his upcoming Passion 4 Pinot (Palm Springs Pinot Noir Fest), to be held on January 8, 2022 at the JW Marriott's Desert Springs Resort in Palm Desert, CA. At this event you will find 60 top-tier, world-renowned wine makers from Sonoma, Santa Barbara, Napa, Lodi, Willamette Valley...all who are known for their amazing Pinot Noirs, and the perfect growing conditions for this fickle grape.
A true food wine, Pinot Noir is a very special grape that is enhanced by a great meal, and a great meal makes this delicious, soft bodied wine even more magical!
Palm Springs Pinot Noir Fest is taking place in Palm Desert, CA at the beautiful JW Marriott's Desert Springs resort on January 8, 2022. This event was a sell out in its 1st year and is sure to be a sell out in January!
Want to join us? Buy tickets at palmspringspinotfest.com and as a listener of Inside the Bunghole you will receive $10 off the ticket price! Just add promo code BUNG when you check out! We'd LOVE to see you there and share a glass of Pinot with you!
