  • History about Testa Vineyards

    Hi Ellen

    I enjoyed a little history about Maria Martinson and how she actually started making and selling, wines. Through your podcast, I’m continually learning about wine textures, different tastes on the tongue, and the extensive ingredients in just one bottle of wine. Thank you.

A Conversation with Vanessa Conlin MW
Q: What does a typical day look like as the US ambassador for a winery like Ducru-Beaucaillou?
Days vary but include travel, trade communications, event planning, market research, and engagements with journalists and trade partners, with occasional Bordeaux trips for vintages and on-premise campaigns.

A Conversation with Vanessa Conlin MW
Q: Did you go all the way through music school and then start The Wine Situation, or did you switch careers before finishing your degree?

Spending time with family since moving back to Napa, reconnecting with a strong support system and close colleagues, which makes her feel connected and supported in her career.
Growing Wines!
