Oh, hey. It's the lady who never unpacks her toiletry kit because you never know when you got to jam, and welcome back. You're here for wine part two. Last week we chatted with the very charismatic, encyclopedically informed Andre Hueston Mack, who gave you an in-depth and a very spirited discussion of all the different wines, how to drink them, so-called old world versus new world wines, what gives a wine its taste, label drama, the rise of the sometimes hit or miss funky kombucha-tasting organic or biodynamic wines, how to order in a restaurant, what to look for. That was great start there. This week we're so lucky to talk to a pair of indie winemakers and enologists from a family-owned winery in California, and one, uh, was born and raised in Spain. The other is a member of the Santa Ynez band of Chumash Indians and was the first Native American to own and operate a winery in the United States. And together their winery, it's called Camins, Two Dreams, meaning the path to our dreams. They make wines with this low intervention, natural yeast, low sulfites, we'll talk about what those mean later, as well as what got these two into winemaking, how grapes are harvested, why some are juiced with the stems, some weird balloon coffin chambers, wooden teabags, lab work, tips for making your own wines, how they met, and the surprising story time on how they became a married duo
