Volcanic wines are wild, earthy, grounded, and intuitive. Allie found the perfect wine that embodies all of these characteristics. Our interest was piqued by this 'Woman in Flight', Sul Volcano, deeply rooted in the volcanic soils of Sicily.

We then explore the characteristics of Volcanic soils and how they affect the depth and character of wine. These rich soils aren't just on islands, but are around the world, from places like Oregon to Hungary.

Allie shares a story of a man who returned to his roots and his quiet resistance against the industrial wine complex. We talk about 'Human Wine', a return to wine society, and the amazing wines that have come back from a return to tradition.

Dig in your heels, join us, and grab a glass of something that reminds you of earth and electricity.
