4am -8am. 10 people, picking 4 Tons of Wine Grapes. In 25 years, I'm the only white guy.

A new adventure: the sheer fun of small-batch winemaking, inventing unique, quirky inventions to delight. WildChild is back! I want wine to be fun too!

Somehow, every year, the first pick of our precious Syrah, the first vines we planted, 20 years ago, 3000 Shiraz Clone 6, rarely found anywhere on it's own roots, yielding wondrous wine, it's just a magical moment for me.

Occasionally Pillsbury Wine, and Page Springs Cellars, have a Staff Party. Basic event includes Sam, Eric, someone else's gorgeous wine (we need a break), and Alaskan Crab Legs airfreighted to me in a 50 pound insulated box, a 2025 Christmas Present from a grateful worker. Sometimes it pays to be nice to people.

This is how they used to press wine. As we explore origins of winemaking in the search for authenticity, we two athletes do this more.

This will be Rancho Castillo's first Viognier. We had the honor of sourcing some grapes from Pillsbury Wine.

Brett Wagner left before the sun came up to make the drive to Willcox to get these beautiful grapes. Now for the Transformation of this sun kissed fruit into our maiden Viognier.

De-stemming today's dawn pick of our Viognier...this wine is unique, magical, and simply breathes divine elegance.
