Enology Part 2 (HOW TO MAKE WINE) with Tara Gomez & Mireia Taribó

About this episode

Alie Ward interviews enologists Tara Gomez and Mireia Taribó about winemaking, grape harvesting, and their journey as a couple in the wine industry.

Wineries vs. vineyards. Metal vs. oak. DIY wine. Carbonic fermentation situations? Enologists Tara Gomez and Mireia Taribó – co-owners of the boutique California winery Camins2Dreams – join us to chat about how grapes are harvested, why some are juiced with the stems, Indigenous perspectives on wine making, weird balloon chambers, wooden teabags, labcoat envy, tips for making your own wines, how they met and the surprising story of how they became a married duo in life and work. This couple needs a rom-com made in their honor. Raise a glass.
