    S2 Ep2: Everyone Should Be Drinking Natural Wine with Ian from Good Clean Fun!

    Swinging back into the podcasting groove with one of my favorite LA wine dudes: Ian from Good Clean Fun! Ian has been curating wine vibes and great bottles in DTLA since he opened GCF in 2021. Over the years, it’s become one of my go-to neighborhood hangouts with their epic patio parties and I even co-hosted my very first Mas Vino event with them back in November 2021! Ian has always pushed the boundaries with what a great wine bar can be and has been instrumental in making the LA wine scene an exciting destination! I loved having this chat with Ian and always love learning from him and the wines he’s inspired by!

    Mas Vino Please: The Podcast Season 2 returns!

    The long hiatus is over! The podcast is back, baby! I contemplated bringing back the pod back for a second season — I worried I wouldn’t have capacity for it or maybe I should wait and find a producer, but I realize my favorite projects are the ones I don’t think too hard about and just dive right in. So here it is: episode 1, an intro. A quick little catch up on some of the things that have happened in the last year, I get a little honest and candid about wine and content creation, and a taste of what’s to come this year on the podcast. New episodes are available each week on Spotify and Apple Podcasts. Subscribers get episodes first, direct to their inbox. If you haven’t already (and you love me), please consider rating the pod on Spotify & Apple Pods! Get full access to Mas Vino Please at masvinoplease.substack.com/subscribe

    Ep. 10: Natty Wine Terms YOU should know, ft. My Dad on the Season Finale.

    The Mas Vino Please: The Podcast season finale is here. Episode 10 is a candid conversation with my dad about natural wine, his wine memories and other insights—even though he’s currently on the no-alch, no-coffee lifestyle. My dad has always been a good sport when it comes to natural wine and always down to try the weird, funky, fizzy things I pass his way so I thought sharing a conversation with him over a bottle would be the best way to close out this season. In this episode he tries Como La Flor for the very first time and gives honest, live feedback (lol). Later in the episode I quiz him on natty wine terms I think everyone should know :) We had a lot of fun recording this (even though I gave him Cov—d in the process lol sorry dad!) so I hope you all enjoy and I can’t wait to be back soon with season 2 of Mas Vino Please: The Podcast. Please, please, please take my little bro’s advice and rate this podcast on all platforms. Every share and rate helps get the pod out to more folks who might be interested in all things wine. I love you! Get full access to Mas Vino Please at masvinoplease.substack.com/subscribe

    Ep. 9 Talking with a 7-year Old About Natural Wine, My Little Bro Nico!

    This episode is a shorty to ease you into the new year! It’s been a couple weeks since we last talked, so I’m doing a little holiday recap with some wines I drank and food we ate this month. Stay til the end though for a very special guest: my little brother Nico! It’s the first ever interview with a second grader about wine lol. We chatted about how wine is made and he asks some of the hard hitting natty wine questions. He might know more about fermentation than some of the natty bros… Enjoy this episode and if please share, follow and rate on Spotify! It really helps me out :) Get full access to Mas Vino Please at masvinoplease.substack.com/subscribe

    Ep. 8 Building a Badass Legacy as a Latina Winemaker with Brittany Banda, founder of Xochitl Wines

    Today, I bring you an inspiring interview and episode. Brittany Banda is the Founder and winemaker of Xochitl Wines, making wine out of Paso Robles. She’s also a mother, a Latina, a businesswoman and all around inspiration. I credit a lot of my early wine education and experience to her— she was such an incredible resource for me when I first started on my wine journey. Brittany and I went to our small high school together but we never really hung out. The universe is funny though, and reconnected us 10 years later over something that was barely on our radar in 2007: wine. In this episode, we share a bottle of her very first vintage, Xochitl Syrah (2020), a deeply beautiful and complex Syrah. We talk about changing careers, her inspirations, being a Latina in wine, creating space in wine for BIPOC folks and creating a legacy for her daughter. I left this interview feeling full of inspiration, pride and gratitude for knowing such badass women in wine. Brittany is a pioneer in many ways and I can’t wait to for you to listen and know her story. Be sure to check out Xochitl Wines on instagram to follow her journey and new vintages. Her wines are available for purchase on her website. Thanks for listening and be sure to like, share, review, follow etc etc etc ;) Your support keeps this pod going!

    BONUS EPISODE!! The Story of Como La Flor and Doing Science with Wonderwerk!

    A BONUS EPISODE for you to enjoy during the long holiday weekend! What better way to start prepping your Thanksgiving feast than by opening a bottle of Como La Flor and listening to our special, behind the scenes episode where I chat about the process of creating and collaborating on CLF and a live tasting and blending sesh with Andy and Issamu. In this episode, I share a bit about how the collaboration came to be, what Como La Flor means to me and why we think it’s kind of a game changer in the natural wine space :) Plus, Andy schools us on some wine science and shows us how to precisely measure and blend our tincture. At the very end, we do a little rapid fire with the Wonderwerk dudes and try the blended wine for the first time! Pretty cool, huh? If you haven’t already listened to the Wonderwerk episode, I highly recommend! It will help give some context about some of the things I discuss here. And also, it’s just a really great episode and they’re really cool dudes. Get full access to Mas Vino Please at masvinoplease.substack.com/subscribe

    Ep. 7: High Intervention Wine Made on the Dance Floor with Wonderwerk

    Andy and Issamu of Wonderwerk are wine making legends in my eyes. Their wine journey kind of started at rave parties in LA. Two friends from the East Coast, making natural wine in California in really cool, elegant and unexpected ways. You may know them from their iconic Free Your Mind wine or other disco-inspired bottles, or perhaps you learned about them through our collaboration wine, Como La Flor this month (which is sold out!!)— but did you know every single bottle is inspired by the way music makes you feel? Their philosophy and approach to wine is unique: they want to innovate, intervene (naturally) and bring the market something new that reminds you of a moment on the dance floor. I’m lucky enough to call these dudes friends and collaborators and I can’t wait for you to learn more about their winemaking philosophy, their origins in the LA warehouse rave scene, and how they feel about high intervention winemaking. ;) At the time of recording this episode’s intro we had a couple of bottles of Como la Flor left, but shortly after we sold out!! So thank you to every person who purchased and supported this collab! We love you! Wines from our vertical flight: Kickflip by VDC, Bomba Wines, and It’s a Fine Day by Wonderwerk. 3 Rielslings picked from from 2021 Zabala Vineyards.
