Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

"The Good Stuff" - Episode 145: Baron Ziegler
Q: What was the motivation behind starting Marine Layer after selling Banshee?
He explains using the sale proceeds to fund a higher-tier, no-compromise project centered on elite vineyard sources and a branding that reflects a lifestyle more than a traditional winery model.
"The Good Stuff" - Episode 145: Baron Ziegler
Q: How did you transition from medicine to wine full-time?
Baron describes deferring medical school, committing fully to wine, and leveraging his sales and marketing skills to build a lasting brand portfolio, starting with Banshee and expanding into a strong import book through Valkyrie Selections.
"The Good Stuff" - Episode 139: Palmer Emmitt
Q: What is your long-term vision for the Judge Palmer lineup?
I want to consolidate the offerings around a few core, highly expressive wines—two or three Cabernets that define Sonoma and Napa contrasts, plus a few other varietals that showcase the region's diversity, moving away from a hyper-geeky lineup to something more accessible.
"The Good Stuff" - Episode 139: Palmer Emmitt
Q: How did you choose your vineyard sites and how has pricing influenced your strategy?
We started with Bechstoffer fruit and evolved toward Sonoma sites like Ellis Alden (Star Springs Ranch) to balance quality with cost, aiming to offer wines with a strong sense of place without paying a premium simply for a name.
"The Good Stuff" - Episode 139: Palmer Emmitt
Q: What year did you first decide to get into wine rather than staying in Hollywood?
I moved toward wine after discovering a potential joint venture during a six-month period of exploring Napa, which led to me buying grapes and starting Bechstoffer-influenced projects, eventually pushing me to commit to a full-time winery.
