Episode 56 – In Joshua Tree Tasting Wines from Lomita with the LaFaille’s & the Evans

In this episode, Shelley and Phil sit down with episode 006 guests, Lindsay and Brian, for a Wine Time Fridays reunion, almost exactly a year after they appeared on this podcast as the first guests ever. Not only is episode 006 the most listened to Wine Time Fridays episode EVER, we upped the stakes by adding Chelsea and Andrew, the Roaming Travelers! The only thing that could make this episode more unique is having wine from someplace not known for wine. Check that box, too! Two wines from Lomita, which is a free flow winery in Valle de Guadalupe, Mexico, are featured in this episode and what a delicious surprise! You’ll have to listen in to hear  about the quality of wine and the stories told in this six person extravaganza. #HappyFriday! #ItsWineTime! #OutdoorsInn

• Lomita 2017 Pagano (Valle de Guadalupe) – Grenache
