Wednesday, August 14, 2024 • Duration 05:55

In this special episode of An Idiot's Guide to Wine, we step away from the vines and into the fields, where life doesn't always follow the script.

We talk about the tough realities of living on a working farm and ranch, where the circle of life is a daily reminder of our roots. It's not just about wine; it's about the hard, unglamorous truth of what it means to work the land, and the resilience it demands. Inspired by Paul Harvey's iconic "So God Made a Farmer," we reflect on why we keep going, even when the going gets tough.
