Welcome back to another special edition of Beats, Vines & Life! In this breaking news episode, MJ Towler is joined by a powerhouse panel of returning friends and innovators in the wine world: Adam Howard Lee of Clarice Wine Company, Moret Brealynn (winemaker and hospitality veteran), and Sasha Verhage, co-creator of the celebrated Downstream project.


The trio dives deep into their unique journeys—from Pinot Noir beginnings to forging partnerships in the storied Lirac region of France.

You’ll hear how serendipitous late-night conversations, shared bottles, and pure passion inspired their latest venture, Etienne Winery—a project bringing together Old World terroir with New World innovation.


Plus, the episode is filled with lively anecdotes about legendary winemakers like Philippe Cambie, behind-the-scenes insights into blending at the highest level, and real talk about the collaborative, adventurous spirit that makes the wine industry sing.

If you love a good origin story, crave insider details about Grenache, Pinot Noir, and Rhône varietals, and want to know what it takes to create a transatlantic wine project, this episode is for you.


Pour a glass, settle in, and get ready for laughs, wisdom, and plenty of wine-soaked inspiration—cheers!
