Malek Amrani is originally from Morocco and with the huge wine influence from his father, eventually found his way to Napa Valley. The fruit from Atlas Peak has special meaning for Malek but I’ll let him tell you about that. Pinot Noir for breakfast? Of course!

Every interview brings a wealth of information when it comes to grapes, wine and the full process of making the final bottle. There are also surprises. I met up with Oscar and Lola Llamas, owners of Llamas Family Wines, at their home in the city of Napa. Oscar spent his early life as a vineyard worker and Lola is originally from St. Helena. As it turns out, Lola is related to our old friend Rafael Rodriguez. Long time listeners will remember Rafael and his Napa Valley story which you can hear on podcast 540. Oscar and Lola began their family wine label with Atlas Peak AVA fruit. Napa Valley history and what it was like in the early days.
