Are You A Fool For Wine? Introducing Los-Angeles-based Fuil Wines, Ep 89

A New Wine Label Takes the Stage

New Sip Sip Hooray Podcast Episode! Listen now!

Launching a new wine label, especially during the pandemic, is never easy. But today we meet two actors who make, promote and sell their wine between acting, directing and producing gigs.

They are Matt and Carolina Espiro Jaeger of Fuil Wines - pronounced fool - and we're excited to hear their story of starting their own winery and the two labels that they've created - Fuil and Tabla Wines.

From acting to winemaking, it's not a unique story. In this case, Matt and Carolina's screenplay is full of passion, wine country romance and determination without a marquee Hollywood name. You've heard folks say to some people who have side gigs, don't quit your day job just yet. Well, the early reviews for Fuil have been notably good. So maybe that advice doesn’t always apply!

We're excited to introduce you to these wines and Matt and Carolina, who share how they balance their dual roles. Grab a glass and join us!
