    "It's agriculture, right? Not agri-business. This is part of our cultural history and something worth preserving." – Christina Turley

    Christina is the 2nd generation of the Turley wine family. After cutting her teeth in the hospitality world as a college student in New York at Gramercy Tavern and becoming the sommelier and beverage director for David Chang's Momofuku family of restaurants, Christina moved back to California to go all-in on Zinfandel. Today, she feels a responsibility to honor and protect California’s historic old vines—particularly her favorite varietal, the one she calls “the Dolly Parton of American wine”—and create more opportunities to socialize through the age-old tradition of sharing a bottle of wine.

    “Can Sumoi, above all, is a project to connect with the farmers in the area, learn from them, pay them a fair amount—the highest possible per kilo of Sumoi or Xarel-lo or Macabeu. I dream of a Penedès where the valleys and the villages and the crus are the protagonists. It's the Burgundy vision for Pededès.” – Pepe Raventós


    Pepe Raventós is the renowned winemaker and owner of Can Sumoi, Raventós i Blanc, and his eponymous brand, Vins Pepe Raventós, which produces Mas del Serral.

    In this episode, he shares his family history in the northern Penedès for 21 generations and the unique climate, geography, and millennia of viticultural history that make the region worthy of worldwide acclaim. His focus today is sharpened on making world-class Xarel-lo and Sumoi with Can Sumoi, his remote project in the poorest and most neglected part of Spain, where farming is done respectfully and farmers are paid what they deserve.
