Greg Nemet - Co-Owner of Kareen Wines

In this episode of Always Drink the Good Stuff!, I had the pleasure of sitting down with the incredibly dedicated and talented winemaker Greg Nemet, co-owner of Kareen Wines. Greg shares his family's fascinating journey—from Armenian roots in Georgia and Russia to building a life (and a wine label) in the U.S. We dive into how his winemaking style is evolving, explore the exciting new vineyards he and his family have acquired in the Sierra Foothills of Amador County, and talk about the bold, fresh wines he’s creating—including a vibrant Barbera Pet-Nat made from grapes already growing in their newly purchased vineyards. It’s a story of heritage, vision, and fearless creativity in winemaking.
