Episode 7: Will Travel for Wine – Sipping in Walla Walla, WA
In this episode we speak with Josh McDaniels, the winemaker at Doubleback in Walla Walla, WA. When former NFL quarterback Drew Bledsoe retired from football he wanted to go back to his roots – aka Washington – and went from footballer to vintner. In 2008 Doubleback was born. I love the name since it’s a reference to his return back home… That same year Josh McDaniels – the winemaker not the football coach – entered the game at Doubleback. We’ll talk wine, things to see and do in Walla Walla and a little football.

Episode 1: Champagne or Sparkling Wine? The Loophole That Makes California Champagne Legal
Did you know Korbel Winery is one of the few US winemakers that can legally use the term Champagne on its bottles? It’s all due to a 100-year-old loop hole in The Treaty of Versailles and a little thanks to Prohibition. In the first Carpe Travel podcast, we’ve asked Paul Ahvenainen, Director of Winemaking at Korbel Winery to uncork a bit more of this wine history.
