<p>IWP Ep77 Alejandro Fargosonini- Châteauneuf du Fargosonini. Today were hearing from Alejandro of Châteauneuf du Fargosonini. We discuss his really exciting and cool new project focussed on wines from the vineyard he lives on as well upcycling other fruits that would otherwise go to waste. Alejandro was working his way around the Bay Area to taste different shops on the wines when he stopped by. I think you’ll get a good idea of the wines and project and thought process behind both. Some wines are made from Grenache but also plum, citrus, apricot and other fruits. Others are intentionally oxidized or cooked in the central valley sun. All the wines are super unique and could create really interesting pairing opportunities.

<p>IWP Ep76 George and John Jarvis - Vine Hill Santa Cruz Pioneer Winegrowers Today we’re talking about George and John Jarvis. Pioneer winegrowers in the Vine Hill area of the Santa Cruz Mountains. Their story is a good one and because we haven’t been in the Santa Cruz Mountains much for the historical episodes, there is some background info and other fun details, like 2 Charlies, the 3rd town in California and fires. One thing about the Jarvis’s is that real exact details are lacking a little. There is more conflicting info about them than most of our subjects. None of it is make or break stuff, it’s a year here, some acreage there, a couple thousand gallons more or less. Some of the archives of Santa Cruz County have been affected by fires and floods over the last 150 years. Because they were early on in the Santa cruz Mountains, they speculated on land a lot, so they would buy and sell and have some repossessed before buying a portion back, things like that. I tried to straighten it out the best I could. It doesn’t affect the story at all.</p><p>Follow the podcast at www.instagram.com/indiewinepodcast or email [email protected] with questions, comments or feedback.

<p>Today we’re hearing from Shane Hunt, Wine Buyer at Piazzas fine foods. Upon starting at Piazzas, Shane did a complete overhaul of the wine section, putting the focus on smaller, local, low intervention wines. We discuss what it takes to sell these types of wines in a grocery environment. How it feels to hook someone up with a zero/zero wine from Sonoma instead of a generic blend from a large brand. And what smaller producers can do to get their wines into the hands of a more casual wine consumer. You can follow Shane www.instagram.com/shmob_shane and Piazzas www.instagram.com/piazzasfinefoods or their website https://piazzaslovesfood.com/.</p><p>Follow the podcast at www.instagram.com/indiewinepodcast or email [email protected] with questions, comments or feedback.
