The Mekong River winds its way through the rainforests, plains and rice fields of five Southeast Asian countries before meeting the South China Sea. In terms of length, it’s the 12th largest river in the world, but in terms of historic, cultural and ecological richness-the Mekong has no equal. The sagas of ancient empires, colonial powers and modern conflicts have unfolded along its banks. Through it all, the Mekong remains first and foremost a lifeline. Temples, trade routes and fishing villages in the river’s path are today untouched by time, just as the way of life they represent. And nowhere are the river’s riches more apparent than in the neighboring yet distinct countries of Vietnam and Cambodia.

Fun fact: Although Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book is set in India, the Lost City of the Monkeys with King Louie (I hear you humming the Disney song, "I Wanna Be Like You") was inspired by tales of a real lost city - Angkor Wat, Cambodia! See for yourself and let us know what you think.

Hosted by Jared Sleet, Assistant Winemaker of Roco Winemaker, Newberg, OR

Though born in Kentucky, Jarod didn’t fall in love with the grape juice inside oak barrels until he moved to Oregon and attended culinary school as an aspiring chef. Learning about food—its sources, techniques, and surprises—led him first to Oregon wine country as a harvest intern, and then to Oregon State University for his bachelor's degree in viticulture and enology. Following winemaking stints at Willamette Valley's Cana’s Feast, Archery Summit, and Argyle, Jarod joined ROCO Winery in 2017 as Assistant Winemaker where he continues to pursue his passion for crafting world-class sparkling wine.

When he's not in the cellar, Jarod uses his culinary skills to develop food pairings and menus for wine club events and winery dinners.

Hosted by Stephen Storrs & Pamela Bianchini-Storrs, Owners, Storrs Winery & Vineyards, Aptos, CA

Stephen Storrs and Pamela Bianchini-Storrs began Storrs Winery with the harvest of 1988. Both graduates of UC Davis with degrees in Viticulture and Enology, they had worked and consulted for many prominent wineries prior to starting their own. Starting with their very first vintage, they focused on the Santa Cruz Mountains – a very cool, marine-influenced climate. Having worked in this terrain for years, they knew there was no better climatic match in California for the classic Burgundian varietals of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Their focus on Pinot & Chardonnay was further honored with a fortuitous trip to Burgundy in the 1980's when wineries and winemakers were quick to open their doors and share their love and knowledge of these special varietals. Their dedication to these two amazing grapes has only continued to grow with their winery.

Along their path, they have won multiple sweepstakes and prestigious awards, including the Best of Show (& the Golden Bear) at the California State Fair and San Francisco International Wine Competitions. In 2001 they realized a dream with the purchase of 60 acres in the Pleasant Valley district of Corralitos in the Santa Cruz Mountains AVA establishing their estate vineyard in 2007. In 2012, they broke ground for construction of a new energy-efficient winery on the site of a former quarry that they discovered on their property. They opened their new winery & tasting room to the public in 2018. Today, they continue to pursue excellence with every vintage and celebrate the terroir of their unique region in every bottle.

Chris Brundrett’s interest in the art of winemaking was sparked at a young age during a trip through the beloved Texas Hill Country. He knew he wanted to continue this discovery through his studies at Texas A&M, where he earned a degree in horticulture while working on the campus vineyard and spending countless hours learning at the wineries and vineyards in the Texas Hill Country. After graduation, Brundrett quickly took on head winemaking responsibilities, managing vineyard properties in both the Hill Country and the High Plains. Later, he came across a wine by William ‘Bill’ Blackmon, his current business partner and mentor, that piqued a deeper passion for the art of winemaking. The two bonded over the shared belief that wines are not made but grown. In 2008, Brundrett and Blackmon joined forces and bottled their first wine as William Chris Vineyards, using old techniques to bring out the true flavors of the region. In 2010, Brundrett and Blackmon opened their tasting room for William Chris Vineyards in Hye, Texas. As co-owner and winegrower at William Chris Vineyards, Brundrett serves as a CEO, winegrower, grower liaison, innovator, and coach. In October 2020, Brundrett teamed up with fellow winegrower and Lost Draw Cellars owner Andrew Sides to merge their companies and create William Chris Wine Company (WCWC), which is the parent company of the William Chris Vineyards (est. 2008), Lost Draw Cellars (est. 2012), Skeleton Key (est. 2015), and Grower Project (est. 2015) brands, and is the leading producer of 100 percent Texas-grown wines in the Lone Star State.
