Niki Wente is 5^th Generation Winegrower in Livermore Valley and part of a family that made history in the industry. The Wente Clone is just one part of their claim to fame. The fact that the family has operated the winery for so long shows the power of family in wine. I visited Niki at the winery a few weeks ago and learned how her dedication to the Wente team is all about passion. And the family continues to grow.

We all know that wine come is a multitude of different vessels these days and sometimes we wine lovers turn a blind eye to these devices. Never judge a book (or wine) by its cover. Boxed wine can be exceptional. All you have to do is give it a try. And its Green! For this podcast I spoke with Antonio Bertone, Co-Proprietor of Alileo Wines. This is a family effort with Antonio working with his wife as well as his cousin, making the wine. And the wine is grown and boxed in Sicily. What more is there to say?
