A quick and casual chat with my Dad.

Happy Father's Day everyone.

No guest on this episode, so Pablo does his first solo episode where he covers some life updates, he answers a few "Ask The Maverick" questions and finishes with a quick recap of how he ended up as a winemaker in Napa.

RJ Harlow joins the show to talk about making the leap from making home wine in his garage to officially launching his Harlow Wine Co. label. We also talk about some of NorCal's other unsung hero growing regions and I pick RJ's brain about his thoughts on the current state of the wine industry.

In this episode, we crack open a lovely Petite Sirah and chat with Troy Evans about her life in the wine industry, we also talk about a Safeway parking lot wine deal that began a friendship and we hear her passionately wax poetic about her favorite winemakers and the lengths she'll go to to meet them at times. Cheers!

Pablo launches the pilot episode with his special guest, Sheena Baldia. In this episode, Pablo and Sheena discuss the current state of the Wine industry and go over a few possible reasons as to why wine sales and wine consumption in general are trending downward nationally.
