Ride Between the Wines episodes

  • Episode 18: It's Good to be King

    Welcome to Oregonfest 2019!  After spending a week in the lovely Willamette Valley, I have come back with good times, good wines, and great stories from some of the best and the brightest!  To kick it off, this episode is with Brent Stone, winemaker for King Estate.  Over the week I spent a lot of time at the King Estate, and gained a huge appreciation for what they are doing.  I basically spent the entire time singing Circle of Life in my head.   A little later in this episode, I have an awesome phone chat with Julia Vickerman, creator of Netflix series Twelve Forever.
