Season 1: Essential California
EPISODE 1
Napa Valley, California
Start here! Competition, controversy, and land that sell for 1M an acre! Napa Valley is the quintessential American wine region. It helped the USA gain the recognition it deserved in the wine world, and to this day still brings the thunder; but do you know the story of how it came to be? Find out on this premiere episode of V is for Vino.

EPISODE 2
Santa Barbara, California
Santa Barbara is my favorite California wine region for the money. Dollar for dollar, nothing competes, especially if you love cool climate wines like Pinot Noir and elegant, restrained Chardonnay. And our restaurant on this episode has a spot close to my heart: it was the place I envisioned for V is for Vino when I came up with the idea years ago, and doggone-it, I got it done. Find out why Santa Barbara is the getaway for the celebs on this episode of V is for Vino.

EPISODE 3
Paso Robles, California
Paso Robles still feels like a farm community at heart. If it can be sourced local, it is. Everyone knows each other at the local bar. And the locals are proud of the region, even if it doesn't get the recognition it absolutely should: Paso makes some incredibly undervalued grape juice. Go local on this episode of V is for Vino.

MEET YOUR HOST
Vince is a certified sommelier and founder of V is for Vino. While pursing a rock ‘n’ roll career as a guitarist and vocalist, he fell in love with wine while working at the bars and upscale restaurants that paid the bills. As he pursued further wine knowledge, he realized there was no place for the “average Joe” to learn about wine casually (see: without a textbook); and thus, V is for Vino was born. Wine “info-tainment” for the casual wine drinker.
Vince runs every aspect of V is for Vino, from the production and editing, to the writing and hosting of the show, to the IT and web design. His passion for wine stems from his desire to pass his knowledge of it onto others.
