Ripe with Wisdom

In this episode the boys of Ripe with Wisdom talk to Gregory Gjini, who is from Greece and worked as a lab intern at Landmark Vineyards this harvest. We talk about his experiences growing up in Greece, going to college out there studying wine, his first wine internship and his experience getting WSET level 3. We hope you enjoy this episode and thank you for listening.

In this episode we had the pleasure of talking to our dear friend Savannah Preuss. We take a deep dive into how she went from studying to be in the medical field to working in the wine industry and getting her Masters in Cornell where she wrote her thesis on yeast strains. Funny, enthusiastic, and full of life, Savannah plans to bring her passion of wine to the world with the best pinot ever made. 

In this episode we talk to Luies Gallegos the owner and winemaker of his own label Surcos Wines. We talk to his wife Paola and potentially the future winemaker of Surcos, his son Santi. Luies talks to us about his family, his legacy and his journey through the wine industry where eventually he starts a family-oriented wine label. We also hear Paola and Santi’s perspective on how Luies started his own wine label.

In this episode we talk to Paz Del Rescate, Winemaker, Enologist, and trained musician. He has gone on a journey from Texas all the way to Sonoma County, with a fiddle by his side.  We interview Paz about his experiences across the board from family to corporate wine work and his passion for music. And let me tell ya, this man can play.   

We hope you enjoy this episode and thanks for listening!

In this episode we give a behind the scenes look into what we the hosts (Jesse, Miguel, and Jose) have been up to in the beginning of the year, like we go in depth into what we’ve been doing outside of the podcast.

In this episode we talk to a very special guest, his name is Bryce Crawford and he is the enologist for Silver Oak at Alexander Valley, whom we consider a colleague, mentor and a general great dude. We interview Bryce about why he became a winemaker; his journey in the wine industry, and we talk about the hobby of mead making. 

We hope you enjoy this episode and thanks for listening!

Jesse, Jose, and Myggs discuss their experiences during the 2022 Harvest season in Sonoma/Napa County. Myggs as a Viticulture Technician, Jose as a Lab Intern, and Jesse as a vineyard crew manager amongst many other tasks as well.
