Mia Mascarin is indeed, a woman of many hats. Being the face of a winery isn’t always sipping wine and glamour. Hard work, passion and dedication are just a few her special hats. Mascarin Family Wines is located in Sonoma County and finding the tasting room can be a bit of a challenge. But well worth the time. Mia and her father Ed have grown the winery from their 32 Winds label to now the Mascarin Family wines label. Family wineries are the best. Low production and huge focus.

When home winemakers go pro, everything changes. Making great wine is one thing but selling it is entirely another. Steve Gower and Brian Callahan are founders and winemakers at Crux Winery in Geyserville and I caught up with them at their tasting room and cellar a few weeks ago. These guys have developed a loyal following by making great wine and therefore their customers become their friends. Wine always makes great friendships.

Knights Valley is found just above the town of Calistoga as you enter Sonoma County and it is simply a slice of heaven. Most of the traffic you see is local. While there are plenty of tasting rooms in this valley, tourism does not clutter the roads. Brandon Muller and Gregory Roberts are the Founders of Brandon Gregory Estate Wines and Knights Valley is where they staked their claim to wine business. We met at their beautiful Airbnb cottage just before the Sonoma County Barrel Auction to talk about this magnificent property, and most importantly, the wine that comes from there.
