This documentary style show on location in Julian in the mountains East of San Diego, was my first ever Prince of Wine show of any kind. It was taped August 28, 2007. I had a lot of fun especially when I spilled the wine on my shirt during the interview with Mike Menghini, owner of Menghini Winery. The old title was there (Prince of Wines-plural) as well as “Episode 2″ because I had done a home wine tasting and I had considered Menghini “Episode 2″. This is definitely an experimental format with a lot of rough edges. I also crammed way too much that day. After we finished taping in the morning, my crew and I drove 55 miles West to downtown San Diego and taped the ‘Tango Wine” Episode during lunchtime then drove another 35 miles to Escondido (North San Diego County) to tape the Orfila Winery show…Phewwww!!
