In this special episode of An Idiot's Guide to Wine, we step away from the vines and into the fields, where life doesn't always follow the script. Today, we lost our young bull—unexpectedly and painfully. It's one of those moments that shakes you, but out here, on the farm, life keeps moving. We talk about the tough realities of living on a working farm and ranch, where the circle of life is a daily reminder of our roots. It's not just about wine; it's about the hard, unglamorous truth of what it means to work the land, and the resilience it demands. Inspired by Paul Harvey's iconic "So God Made a Farmer," we reflect on why we keep going, even when the going gets tough. This is more than just a story—it's a piece of our life, the one behind every bottle we make.
