In our host Coly Den Haan’s words: “My favorite part about my conversations with Emily Towe is how chill and easy-going she seems then out of nowhere she will inevitably drop some crazy wine knowledge bomb or the perfect
zinger when you least expect it. Emily along with her high school sweat heart and now husband Jody, truly are J. Brix. It has been said their motto in wine, and in life in general, is “Only Love.” And you truly can taste that love in every wine they make. So, I encourage you to pop open one of their bottles while you’re listening to this interview – unless your driving than please wait until later to taste the love.”
Hosted by Coly Den Haan, our Executive Producer is Angelica Luna, and our Senior Producer is Amelie Rousseaux.
Courtney Kaplan has not only worked in multiple facets of the hospitality industry, at the hottest places on both our costs but she has also spent time working and studying in Japan. She’s fluent in Japanese and has become this city’s honorary, sake go to guru. Her and her partner have what seems to be a perfect back of the house, front of the house synergy and her unpretentious style of sharing her wealth of knowledge immediately pulls you in.

Megan Bells’ methods are steeped in ancient traditions yet she continues to trail blaze, break barriers and march to the beat of her own drum. She adapts to what nature gives us while at the same time advocating for change, especially in farming practices to make this planet better and possibly fix some of the damage the commercial wine industry has inflicted.

Isabelle is a living legend in living wine and it seems nearly impossible to try and summarize Isabelle’s incredible career. She’s hosted a tv show, run a wine program at a two Michelin star restaurant, as well as other wine programs around the world including in the Caribbean! She started the internationally renowned RAW wine festival, founded a wine school, published a best selling book on natural wine and was the first French woman to become a Master of Wine, a qualification that is generally regarded in the wine industry as one of the highest standards of professional knowledge with only around 400 Masters world wide (less than 150 of which are women…) So, basically, she is idol worthy and totally winning in all things wine!

In our host Coly Den Haan’s words: “Maria is the owner and winemaker of the cult favorite brand Duckman wines. Maria hails from a Portuguese winemaking family of legends – dating all the way back to the eighteenth century, that have been referred to as Portuguese wine royalty. Even though Maria’s history is steeped in rich tradition she has carved out a path distinctly her own – with a unique history, style and flare that clearly sets her apart. A rebel in her own right with a one of a kind sense of humor and true talent to back it up, Maria’s story is definitely one worth hearing.”

In our host Coly Den Haan’s words: “Krista Scruggs is an American natural wine and cider maker and, I dare say, an exciting and experimental one at that. Since coming on the wine scene Krista has made a name for herself very quickly. It turns out, being a black, queer woman who farms and makes wine in Vermont garners a lot of interest. This has been a double-edged sword for Krista. With some incredible highs and very tough lows, Krista has had a whirlwind career in a short amount of time. We happened to catch her in our Los Angeles studio while she visited from Vermont. She spoke candidly about her journey including her dreams, challenges, triumphs, and one really crappy year.”
