Episode 182 takes A Cork in the Road “on the road” to Walla Walla, Washington, for a special crossover episode with our friends at The Wine Makers podcast. Recorded during Blood of Gods Annual Merrymaking, an unforgettable festival celebrating the intersection of wine, art, music, and heavy metal, this episode explores what makes the event and the Walla Walla wine community so special. After nearly 15 years in wine, I can honestly say this was one of the best events I’ve attended. It is rooted in community, creativity, exploration, and a whole lot of joy. Huge thanks to Winery Sixteen 600 for bringing me into the fold by giving me the very fun assignment of writing a wine review for the Blood of Gods ‘zine with one instruction: don’t follow the rules. For this conversation, we all sit down with Stacy Buchanan, founder of Blood of Gods, and Brooke Delmas Robertson of Delmas Wines, who recently opened a tasting room in downtown Walla Walla. We talk about the origins of Blood of Gods, what’s happening in the Walla Walla wine scene, and the unlikely but delightful ways wine and heavy metal music can come together. It’s a conversation about wine, creativity, community, and finding joy in doing things a little differently. And yes, we talk about the wine, too, because the Delmas wines are absolutely stunning. Welcome to Walla Walla.
