September 2023
For our 2023 video contest, our finalists shared their tales about their love of wine—what it means to them, how they enjoy it, celebrate it and even commit their lives to it. (A big thank you to every entrant for sending us their stories, from the heartfelt to the humorous.) Get ready to laugh, recognize a bit of yourself and be inspired! 2nd Place: Akiko Dreams of Pinot The story of Akiko Freeman’s journey from Japanese exchange student to West Sonoma Coast winemaker.
