IWP Ep120 Adam Huss - Beyond Organic Wine and Wine Liberated: The Ecological Revolution and the Vintners Inspiring Change
IWP Ep120 Adam Huss - Beyond Organic Wine and Wine Liberated: The Ecological Revolution and the Vintners Inspiring Change. I recently spoke with my buddy Adam Huss of the Beyond Organic Wine podcast. We discussed his new book Wine Liberated: The Ecological Revolution and the Vintners Inspiring Change. Adam has been speaking with producers, farmers and many others since 2019 for his podcast and over the last couple years has been putting his thoughts into this great book. It's being released on November 17th. We had a great conversation about the book, podcast, Hybrid grapes and beyond. You can find much more of Adams writing and of course his great podcast at https://beyondorganicwine.substack.com/ and Pre Order the book: https://bookshop.org/p/books/wine-liberated-the-ecological-revolution-and-the-vintners-inspiring-change-adam-huss/5f5a316aab52962e?ean=9781645024477 https://bookshop.org/lists/wine-books-indie-wine-podcast.

IWP Ep119 Unfiltered Festival 2026 Panel - “An Essential and Elusive Grail: Imagining the Future of California Table Wine
IWP Ep119 Unfiltered Festival 2026 Panel - “An Essential and Elusive Grail: Imagining the Future of California Table Wine. It’s our 3rd Panel from the Unfiltered wine Festival organized by Andrew Sullivan. Todays panel features Stephanie Bolton PHD from Lodi Wine, John Locke of Birchino, Shaunt Ongoulian from Les Lunes and Populis wines and Ana Carolina Quintela - Sonoma Correspondant for Decanter magazine. Gilian Handelman, the Sr Vice President of Education for Jackson Family wines handled the moderating duties. Table wine is essential to any wine culture. The panel dives into how California can encourage the use of table wine, how each panelist views the term and some of the roadblocks in the way of the US building a culture of hopefully California wine at the table. Following on the theme, last week, Luke Sykora wrote about the festival for JancisRobinson.com, specifically focussing on table wines. In it, he highlighted the wide range of wines available at the festival. He pulled a few quotes from this panel and interviewed some other producers to highlight under $25 wines that were available at the festival. Once again Andrew Sullivan organized this panel as part of his Unfiltered Festival held in July at Donkey and Goat, I hope you enjoy the conversation.

IWP Ep118 Brent Harrison - From Brent Wine Co.
IWP Ep118 Brent Harrison - From Brent Wine Co. I sat down with Brent Harrison during a quite morning in Saratoga during the middle of harvest to talk about From Brent wines. He’s mostly working with fruit from the eastern side of the Santa Cruz mountains, some that he farms himself and some that he sources from top growers of the area. His project is based on spending time and effort in the vineyard to provide the best fruit possible. The wines are full wines but generally lower alcohol and bright acids and complex. Syrah and Cab Franc are his specialties but Zin, other Bordeaux grapes and some white wines are made also. I hope you enjoy our conversation.

IWP Ep117 Unfiltered Festival 2026 Panel - What makes a great wine: Restraint vs Risk
IWP Ep117 Unfiltered Festival 2026 Panel - What makes a great wine: Restraint vs Risk. We have another of the great panels from the Unfiltered festival. What makes a great wine: Restraint vs Risk. It's a great and varied panel. Randall Graham from Popelouchum, Angela Osborne from A Tribute to Grace, Brent Mayeaux from Stagiaire, Kimberly Charles from Charles Communication Associates and moderator Chad Arnold, the GM and head buyer at Paul Marcus Wines discuss what actually makes a great wine. Is it the winemaker, the setting, age, something more mysterious? Charles Carpy, one of the best known Pre-Prohibition wine makers, said that a wine couldn’t be truly great unless you kept going back to it until the entire bottle was finished. Once again Andrew Sullivan organized this panel as part of his Unfiltered Festival held in July at Donkey and Goat, I hope you enjoy the conversation.

IWP Ep116 Unfiltered Festival 2026 Panel - Breaking the Champagne Spell: California's Great Sparkling Wine Experiment
IWP Ep116 Unfiltered Festival 2026 Panel - Breaking the Champagne Spell: California's Great Sparkling Wine Experiment. With Jared Brandt - Donkey and Goat, Chris Cottrell - Under The Wire Wines, Michael Cruse - Ultramarine, Cruse Wine Co., Brad Kurtz - Gloria Ferrer. Harvest is extra early this year for many in California due to the unseasonably warm temperatures in January, February and March. For the podcast, it’s always the most difficult time to meet up with winemakers. In previous years I’ve done things like the 8 part California Wine Association series. But this year we have recordings of the great panels from this years Unfiltered Festival. Panels have been a vital part of the festival and part of Andrew Sullivan's vision for the festival from the start. Today’s episode is focussed on Sparkling Wine in California, I moderated this panel with the idea that California Sparkling Wine is really on a great run lately. The wines are being produced in a wide range of styles from Pet Nats showcasing minimal intervention and fresh styles to single vineyard vintage dated examples giving us a snapshot of a vineyard through the producers eyes year after year to extremely well done Non Vintage versions allowing us to see how blending and house styles can produce exceptionally complex wines. At the root of all these styles is a focus on high quality organic farming. Joining me for the panel are Jared Brandt of Donkey and Goat, Chris Cotrell of Under the Wire Wines, Michael Cruse from Ultramarine and Cruse Wine Co and Brad Kurtz Vineyard Director at Gloria Ferrer. This and the other panels will be posted on youtube - https://youtu.be/9sNWiAzISCA Follow the podcast at www.instagram.com/indiewinepodcast or email indiewinepodcast@gmail.com with questions, comments or feedback.

IWP Ep115 Pete Bloomberg - Llewelyn Wine
IWP Ep115 Pete Bloomberg - Llewelyn Wine. Last month I sat down with Pete Bloomberg of Llewelyn Wine. Pete has been making natural wines since 2021 after transitioning from a career in the Beer Industry. His wines are super interesting and unlike most, he tends to concentrate on white wines and lighter styles of red wine. Most grapes are sourced from Sonoma or Mendocino county and he’s now farming a Sonoma Mountain Chardonnay vineyard. Pete has created a wonderful project and even though the wines aren’t always the easiest to track down, they are worth the effort. You can sign up for the mailing list at https://www.llewelyn.wine/ or follow him on instagram at llewelyn_wine or ask for the wines at your favorite local natural wine shopFollow the podcast at www.instagram.com/indiewinepodcast or email indiewinepodcast@gmail.com with questions, comments or feedback.

If I Could Talk To My Younger Self - An Unfiltered Conversation with Megan Bell - Margins Wine, Casey Barton - Helia Wine Co. and Alli Badar - Intertidal Wine Co.
If I Could Talk To My Younger Self - An Unfiltered Conversation with Megan Bell - Margins Wine, Casey Barton - Helia Wine Co. and Alli Badar - Intertidal Wine Co. This is a really special episode today, a recording of an amazing discussion held at Donkey and Goat in July, filled with optimism and camaraderie. Many of you are familiar with Megan Bell and Margins Wine. Megan started Margins in 2016 with an Enology and Viticulture degree from UC Davis and harvests on 3 continents under her belt. At the time she was 1 of only a few women making natural wines in California. From the start Margins was focussed on under-represented areas, grapes and most importantly people. Flash forward 8 years and Megan made the decision that 2024 would be the final Harvest for Margins. Megan fills us in on those years in between, the wins, the struggles, the great times, mistakes, friendships, vineyards, wines and physical and mental health. Andrew Sullivan from Unfiltered Wine Festival invited Megan to tell her story and what she would say if she could talk to her younger self. Joining Megan onstage were Ali Badar of Intertidal Wine Company and Casey Barton of Helia Wine Company. 2 younger women winemakers with amazing projects, each a couple vintages in. It was a really great conversation, I had the pleasure of moderating.

If you like the podcast, you’ll really appreciate what Aaron is doing with Arable. It’s available through the Future Collective website and Youtube Chanel and as an audio podcast.
