IWP Ep78 Christopher Renfro - The Two Eighty Project and Friend of a Friend SF. Today I’m talking with Christopher Renfro of the 280 Project and Friend of a Friend Wine shop. This conversation has been a long time coming but we finally made it happen and had a great discussion and the history of the 280 project and where it’s going, about San Francisco, the Bay Area and vineyards in Napa and Sonoma. Christopher also lets us know how anyone can help the project and shares some inspiration. You can find out more about what Christopher is doing at https://www.280project.com and https://www.friendofafriendsf.com/ and follow him at https://www.instagram.com/280project

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. Follow Alejandro at https://www.instagram.com/chateauneuf_du_fargosonini or find more info at the website https://www.chateauneuf.xyz/ Find the wines at Friend of a Friend SF, Bay Grape Oakland, Pinyon Ojai, Good Time Wine Bar San Jose, Aurora SF and DTC online very soon.

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.
