In Episode #20 of Vino Frankel: A Taste of Sculpterra, Paul Frankel celebrates the show’s 20th episode with special guest co-hosts Donna Wolfe and Melodie Jordan for an engaging conversation that blends wine, art, and education.This episode focuses on the new February 2026 Tasting Room Wine Menu, featuring a tasting of 2021 Maquette and 2022 Petite Sirah. Paul explains why these wines were selected, how they’re tasting right now, and what makes them stand out on the current menu.Donna leads a thoughtful interview with Melodie Jordan, exploring her artistic journey, creative inspiration, challenges as an artist, and what she hopes people feel when they connect with her work. Paul then flips the script and asks Donna a few personal questions about her relationship with wine and creativity.In The World of Wine, the group discusses Sonoma and Napa County fining vineyards for not farming, the concept of mothballing vineyards, and whether similar practices could eventually reach San Luis Obispo County.Paul then nerds out on wine with a breakdown of the 20/20 Wine Rule — a simple approach to serving wine at the proper temperature that can dramatically improve aroma, balance, and flavor for both white and red wines.The episode continues with upcoming Sculpterra events, a lighthearted TMI segment highlighting Paul’s 5K at 40 birthday celebration, and an in-depth Animals in the Vineyard segment focused on powdery mildew, including identification, disease cycles, and prevention strategies. Wines Tasted2021 Sculpterra Maquette2022 Sculpterra Petite Sirah#VinoFrankel #Sculpterra #PasoRoblesWine #WinePodcast #WineEducation#Winemaking #WineAndArt #CentralCoastWine #WineCulture #TastingRoomLifeProduced by EZF Media, LLCPodcast production and digital media partnerhttps://ezfmedia.com
