"The Good Stuff" - Episode 53: Enkidu Wines

In this episode of "The Good Stuff" presented by the Sonoma County Winegrowers, hosts Virginie Boone and Karissa Kruse talk with Phillip Staehle, founder and winemaker at Enkidu Wines. Phillip grew up in Lake County with older brothers and sisters who exposed him to wine. With an early appreciation (and collection!), Phillip decided to major in Political Science, as one does. He worked in restaurants during college, gaining an education in the "School of OTJ." (On The Job) He became a wine buyer, then a cellar rat, and also worked with his brother on a wine packaging business. In 2003 he started Enkidu, which he then sold in 2022, but still remains as winemaker. And finally, Virginie and Karissa share their Tuesday Night wine picks.
