Posted on May 14, 2026 by Guy

My guest this week is Adobe Road winemaker Garrett Martin.

Adobe Road Winery, founded by championship racer Kevin Buckler and his wife Debra, produces “The Racing Series,” a collection of ultra-premium California red blends inspired by motorsports. The Petaluma-based boutique winery crafts these high-performance wines—named APEX, REDLINE, SHIFT, THE 24, CARBON, and 66—using fruit from Sonoma and Napa, with bottles featuring unique racing-inspired designs.

Adobe Road winemaker Garrett Martin will tell you that winemaking is all about the journey of raw ingredients transforming into something greater. His goal is to allow the wine to express its own personality through his artisan skill and winemaking techniques. His creativity, focus, and smart use of the best technology available, serve him well while working in relationship with the close-knit community of growers, coopers, and other colleagues.

Adobe Road Winery “The Racing Series”

While at Sonoma State University, Garrett developed a love and passion for wine and viticulture, completing his training in the vineyard, lab and winery at Santa Rosa Junior College’s Shone Farm. Over the next 10 years he honed his winemaking skills at a variety of cellars in Sonoma and up and down the Napa Valley. When the opportunity at Adobe Road presented itself in 2015, Garrett jumped at the chance to create world-class wines in his hometown and to be part of something really special with the new Adobe Road winery project a key component of the revitalization of the historic Petaluma riverfront.  Follow the winery on Facebook.

We’ll tell you all about the winery, Garret’s journey in wine and the FAST CARS FINE WINE event coming to Genesis of Wichita. Also talk about a few wines produced by this classy winery.  Adobe Road wines are available in Kansas 🙂

Good Life Guy’s Wine of the Week:
Adobe “Road Racing Series”
2021 Carbon Petite Sirah
Polished, balanced, intense: CARBON is a blend of the deepest, darkest wines we could make. Weaving these bold varieties together with a delicious approachability is quite a challenge – but we like challenges. Dark, strong, and full bodied yet approachable, CARBON comes charging off the line with opaque black color in the glass. Aromas of black cherries, licorice, and deeply toasted oak seamlessly transition to flavors of ripe plum and crushed blackberries, finishing with sculpted tannins and violet accents. 70% Petite Sirah, 13% Petite Verdot, 9% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Malbec from Sonoma County.  ABV14.9%  JS91

May 2nd and May 9th – Two Great Shows…with an Italian theme!

Posted on April 27, 2026 by Guy

May 2 – Italian Cookies
My guest this week is Domenica Marchetti  with her new book “Italian Cookies – Authentic Recipes and Sweet Stories from Every Region.  This definitive Italian cookie cookbook has 100 authentic recipes, including baking hints and techniques, plus regional stories and a list of Italian bakeries.

ITALIAN COOKIES, her ninth cookbook, is a grand tour of Italy through its cookies. It is a deep dive into a seemingly frivolous subject that turns out to be not frivolous at all! The book was years in the making, and her research took her to country villages, towns, and cities in all 20 regions of Italy. Get a copy NOW!

“What I discovered as I traveled from Piedmont to Calabria and to the islands of Sicily and Sardinia, is that much like Italian food and Italian wine, the cookies of Italy are regional in character, their recipes rooted in the land and the culture, and in local ingredients that tell a story. Butter in the north, olive oil and wine in the south; rich hazelnuts in Piedmontese Baci di Dama, and sweet, buttery Romano almonds in Sicilian amaretti.  There are cookies with histories dating back centuries, and cookies whose popularity attract travelers from all over. There are elegant, piped cookies, and fat, generous biscotti da inzuppo ~ delicious dunking cookies (and everything in between). I set out to discover their stories.”

About Domennica
I grew up in an Italian family. At the dinner table we spent more time debating what we should eat tomorrow night than politics or the news of the day. My mother is a native of Chieti, a picturesque hilltop city in Abruzzo, not far from the Adriatic coast. She had my sister and me shaping gnocchi and ravioli by the time we could see over the kitchen counter. We spent our summers in Italy with my mother’s three sisters (all great cooks); each year my father planned trips around the peninsula guided by where the best local food and wine were to be found. I’ve continued the tradition of food-focused trips now that I have my own family. www.domenicacooks.com Follow her on Social Media @domenicacooks

Apr 25 – Angelina Mondavi & Charles Krug Wines

Posted on April 20, 2026 by Guy

My guest this week is Angelina Mondavi, Consulting Winemaker and fourth-generation co-proprietor, who has taken the helm of winemaking at Charles Krug, becoming the first woman in her family to lead at the historic estate.

September 2025, Charles Krug Winery today announced a milestone moment in its 162-year history: with the retirement of longtime winemaker Stacy Clark, fourth-generation co-proprietress and consulting winemaker Angelina Mondavi has assumed full leadership of winemaking at Napa Valley’s oldest estate. In doing so, she becomes the first woman in her family to guide the winery’s winemaking–a lifelong dream now realized. www.amondaviconsulting.com

For Mondavi, this transition is deeply personal. She grew up on the Charles Krug estate, where her childhood was shaped by vineyard life: riding the harvesters at dawn, helping in the cellar during crush, and sitting alongside her grandfather, Peter Mondavi Sr., as he blended wines at the family table. By age ten, she knew she wanted nothing more than to be part of the family business. That legacy runs deep–her grandfather shaped Charles Krug’s wines from 1945 to 1990, her father Marc advanced the tradition from 1990 onward, and now Angelina steps forward to lead as the next generation. “This isn’t just a job–it’s my calling,” she said. “I’ve poured my heart and soul into this industry from a very young age, always with the hope that one day I would help carry my family’s legacy forward.”

Mondavi is clear about her ambitions: to craft wines that resonate on the global stage while honoring the authenticity of her family’s heritage. “I want every bottle we produce to feel like an extension of the Mondavi family table–whether it’s a wine for everyday enjoyment or a Family Reserve meant for life’s greatest celebrations,” she said. “This is a dream my grandfather always envisioned, and I am determined to see it fulfilled.”

Founded in 1861 and owned by the Peter Mondavi Sr. family since 1943, Charles Krug remains a cornerstone of Napa Valley wine culture. Today, the family’s third and fourth generations carry forward that tradition, with Angelina Mondavi at the helm of winemaking and a renewed vision for the estate’s future. www.charleskrug.com

Later in the show we will be talking about your chance to meet Angelina Mondavi at the American Institute of Wine & Food Wichita Chapter event “Sip Happens:  An Evening with Angelina Mondavi”  Featuring wines from Charles Krug Winery
