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.

2023 Enrico Valentine Red Blend
Winery Sixteen 600 | Sonoma Valley, Sonoma County - CA
The Enrico Valentine wines connect past and future. Made with the same farmers’ mindset that Enrico, Sam’s great great grandfather, and Valentine Rossi, who hired Phil in 1977 to harvest Rossi Ranch, had - take what the vintage gives and make something beautiful. With Isabel Gassier’s touch, the 2023 Red combines Zinfandel, Grenache, and Petite Sirah into a vibrant, soulful blend. Voted one of the Best Zinfandels of 2026 by Vinepair.
