What is The Wine Makers Podcast?
A laid-back journey into the heart of wine culture.
Every week, hosts Sam Coturri, Bart Hansen, Danielle Langlois and Brian Casey pull the cork on real conversations with winemakers, growers, sommeliers, and industry trailblazers from Sonoma and beyond. The Wine Makers blends deep knowledge with a relaxed, no-snobbery approach to everything from biodynamic farming to rebellious cider makers and sake artisans.
These are not dry lectures or polished promos—just passionate people talking shop over a glass (or three). The hosts’ decades of hands-on experience in vineyards, cellars, and tasting rooms fuel lively discussions about sustainability, storytelling, and the changing world of wine.
Whether you’re just starting to explore wine or already know your skin-contact from your carbonic maceration, this show delivers honest insight, practical advice, and plenty of personality. Pour a glass and press play.

2022 Montagne di Sonoma
Winery Sixteen 600 | Sonoma County - CA
The 2022 Montagne di Sonoma blends 88% Sangiovese from Dos Limones Vineyard and 12% Cabernet Sauvignon from Simons Vineyard in Moon Mountain District. The vintage offers a wider drinking window than 2021 due to the late spring frost and a heat dome that arrived during harvest over Labor Day weekend. This heat reduced the overall yield, but gave the remaining berries a more concentrated flavor. The 2022 Montagne di Sonoma is ruby garnet colored with enticing aromas of sweet, ripe red fruits. In the mouth, it has flavors of red and black fruits with silky tannins. The persistence is long with a touch of bright acidity on the palate.
