This week, hosts Karissa Kruse and Virginie Boone sit down with Scott Rich, Winemaker and Co-Founder of Talisman Wines in Glen Ellen. 

Tune in as Scott shares his journey of falling in love with viticulture and winemaking — from his early days working in agriculture and horse ranches as a teenager, to a career in environmental planning and research, and ultimately blending his passions for science, farming, and wine into the creation of Talisman Wines. 

With a deep respect for the land and a commitment to crafting wines that truly reflect both terroir and the growers behind each vineyard, Scott and his wife Marta have built Talisman Wines around authenticity, site expression, and thoughtful winemaking.
