  • Field Trip to the Faire!!
    Oct 14 2025

    Episode Notes

    We’re starting Season 2 off with an experimental foray into field recording as we break out the travelling setup and head to the San Carlos Art and Wine Faire (note the extra “e”…because not only did Joshua mis-name the event several times, he and Andrea totally forgot to mention the extra letter…). We were totally unprepared, no run of show notes, no planned banter, no intro/wrap up verbiage…so come along with us as we wing it on our field trip to the Faire! (Did we mention the extra “e” already? That really classes it up…)

    Highway 12 Pinot Noir 2023

    Oak Farm Lodi Sauvignon Blanc 2023

    Flying Suitcase Mendocino Viognier 2023

    Gravel Bar Columbia Valley (Red Mountain) Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
