In this episode of Up & Adam, host Adam Montiel brings together two dynamic figures from California's Central Coast: winemaker Michael Brughelli and musician Dan Curcio of Moonshiner Collective. Michael shares insights into his journey from EMT firefighter to vintner, highlighting his latest endeavor, Sacramental Wine, where 100% of the proceeds support the Altadena Community Fund to aid fire victims. Meanwhile, Dan discusses Moonshiner Collective's upcoming performance on March 29, 2025, at Rod & Hammer’s Rock (formerly known as SLO Brew Rock), promising an evening of soulful Americana/rock that embodies the spirit of the Central Coast. This conversation dives deep into their passions, community involvement, and the unique intersection of wine and music.
