Renegade is a wine podcast for rebels, witches and the wisely intoxicated. This is a week audio ritual from the founders of Blackthorn, a secret society for wine lovers, witches, and story-seekers. We blend rebellious wine education with mythology, history, and the kind of truths you only tell over a second glass.

Hosted by Allie and Julie, wine educators and storytelling sorceresses, this isn’t your average wine podcast. Expect interviews with rule-breaking winemakers, irreverent dives into wine culture, and the occasional tale from the cellar shadows.

CrushCast Episode 72: Interview with Terah Wine Company

Season 1 · Episode 72

Wednesday, March 26, 2025 • Duration 50:02

We’re bringing you another one of our interview episodes this week!

Recently, we had someone ask us if we had any special content planned for March since it is Women’s History Month. But we don’t celebrate women only one month out of the year. We are proud to be a women-owned company, and we are proud to consistently feature women winemakers and women in the industry both in our online wine shop and on the podcast.

That being said, we’re speaking with Terah Bajjalieh of Terah Wine Co. located in the Bay Area in California. Terah is an all-natural winemaker, and she sources her fruit from small organic vineyards from all over the Central Coast and into Lodi. Since her fruit comes from some lesser-known areas and she is a small producer, she is always experimenting with different grape varieties and styles.

Enjoy learning about Terah, her wines and her work in mentorship to help other women who want to get into the wine industry. You know, in the spirit of Women’s History Month and all.

Grab a glass of something fresh and join us! Cheers!
