REALLY BIG SHOW TODAY! Our first field trip and it’s a doozy… Wine tasting with Kurt Russell! The team heads up to Ampelos Cellars in Santa Barbara’s beautiful wine country. Wine makers Peter & Rebecca Work host a wonderful day for us full of wine, food and big, big laughs!
We start off at the Winery tasting and hearing the story of how Kurt met the Works and how they got into the wine business. Kurt tells us about his Gogi wine label and his quest for the perfect Pinot Noir. Then we get to meet Kurt’s awesome sister Jami Way, who runs his wine business and we proceed to drink a lot of really good wine.
Brian and Jill each get to blend their own custom bottles of vino, and though BJ BLEND was in the running, we ended up with Brian’s Song and Jill’s slutty little number ESCORT$. Lot’s of life lessons are discussed, we talk a little about the amazing Goldie Hawn and how she inspired Kurt’s Chardonnay and we find out why we’d all rather swallow than spit… wine.
We have to move the party up to the vineyard, so we play a completely out of control round of THE GAME with Kurt, Jamie, Rebecca and Peter!

Im catching up…Loved the show.. I agree with Keith…what a great TV show this would make. Huel Howser ( may he rest in peace) …would agree!!
love you guys
What a great three show arc!!!! I felt like I was with you guys with every sip. You should take more videos, you could make a TV show out of these adventures!! So much laguhter and love flowing during the show, you guys are great.
You could have made 5 show, or a week’s worth of shows out of this one visit. There you go, one hour TV show and a week of Pod cast with one visit.
Just think, with a TV show you guys could get limo treatment up and back….
Keep up the good work.
Lovin U
Have always loved Kurt, didn’t think I could love him anymore, but after today now I’m madly in love!!! Great show loved it. Definately will be buying some wine from Ampelos vineyards.
So exciting to see you all enjoying our Central Coast! It has been a terrific place to grow up, raise children, work and live. You can find fantastic wines here from Paso Robles to the Santa Ynez Valley.
Great Show! Who is the Japanese photographer that photographs water drops???
I have had the pleasure of trying Gogi Pinot Noir AKA “Bosty Boy” and Chardonnay AKA “Goldie.” I must say these are very serious wines. Peter and Rebecca Work produce amazing wines and with Kurts influence have more than a winner in the Gogi label. Cheers!
Loved the show!! Kurt is so awsome! Do some more field trips!Brian and Jill ROCK!
b&j there is more wine if you go a lil more north on 101 near my home and it call arroyo grande california
Such a fun, fun show!
Thank you Brian and Jill for all the work you do to bring us this podcast everyday!. You are a great team and so good at what you do! BUT…….teaming with Kurt Russell just made this my FAVORITE show of all. There are three Kurt “R’s” that I LOVE…….Kurt Romelsbacher (husband), Kurt Russell and Kurt Rambis! Kurt Russell bought our friends boat “Jelly Bean” awhile back…..do you still have it up north?
Best of luck with GOGI and hoping YOU are the one to to find what it takes for the perfect Pinot
Noir!
MMMM, Jill, wish I was you…in a Brian and Kurt sandwich and able to wash it down with a nice red… heavenly!
Great Pic of you guys, really enjoying the show!
Great show with Kurt Russell!!!
