In episode 07, we uncork a conversation with graphic designer Marie Thomas (@mrsriedesign) of Rie Thomas Design. Rie is the magic behind the Nad Wines logo; but she represents more than that in the Nad Wines story. We chat about social media, creative processes, mental health and the most important aspect of entrepreneurship and life - community.

In episode 06, we pour up with Sacramento-native Derrick Vaughn Harrison (@funkyvinoz), Wine Education Coordinator at Matthiason Wines in Napa Valley, CA. We discuss the wine education as being subjective, tasting experiences being personal and the history of Matthiason Wines as an genuine trailblazer in the Napa Valley organic viticulture and winemaking scene.

In episode 05, we pop some verbal bottles with Amy Wright, Director of Sales, The Urban Grape in Boston, Massachusetts. Living the best wine life between Brooklyn and Boston, Amy is a fellow Roots Fund Scholar, WSET Diploma Candidate and in my eyes a wine expert. We discuss community in the wine industry, trends in wine consumerism and how to navigate shopping for wine.

Featured wine: For the Stella Rosa lovers looking for a substitute, wines from the Bugey-Cerdon appellation, any producer is recommended!

In Episode 03, I uncork the story of Kristie Tacey, natural winemaker and founder of Tessier Winery. Kristie is a former scientist, living in Berkley and producing wine in Healdsburg, Sonoma County, California. Kristie and I met in 2020, and became fast friends in the middle of the pandemic and serves as one of my consistent inspirations for creating - not only because her wines are so delicious, but because she continues to evolve herself and brand each vintage.

In Episode 02, I uncork the Sans Wine Co. story with Gina Schober, CEO and Co-Founder of Sans Wine Co., a producer of single-varietal, single-vineyard canned natural wine in Northern California. As a DTC Sales Rep for the brand, AKA a mobile tasting room for private parties, I have an intimate relationship with these exceptional canned wines. Hear the story from the co-founder herself, sans Jake Stover, Gina's husband, Co-Founder, and Director of Winemaking for Sans Wine Co. and get to know real wine made by some real people.

We talk sustainability in the wine industry and wine SANS (the French word "without") additives, chemical and pretense.

In Episode 01, I uncork the story of Nad Wines (@nadwines) and answer two of my most asked questions: What is natural wine? Isn't all wine natural? I walk through what to look for when identifying natural wine and the characteristics outside of the bottle that build my affinity for this juice. This podcast is brought to you by We Are Sacramento and The Loft.

A few of my places to shop for natural wine in cities where I've lived:

Los Angeles: Good News Wine, Melody and Vinovore

Oakland: The Punchdown, Minimo, and Bay Grape

Sacramento: Good News Wine, Ro Sham Beaux and Nico Wine

My ah-ha moment wine: Donkey & Goat Lily's Pet Nat of Chardonnay (Made in Berkeley, CA).
