You may remember Juan Micieli-Martinez, winemaker at Martha Clara Vineyards, as the JuanMaker — a somewhat silly, penguin-loving winemaker who starred in a series of videos the winery produced a few years ago. While those videos were meant to educate viewers about some basic and sometimes not-so-basic parts of the wine production process, they were awfully goofy at times.
With “Into the Bunghole” Juan is back, but with a bit more serious — though still approachable — tone. Sure, the name of the series itself keeps it from being too serious, but this first video offers great 101-type information on the Martha Clara bottling process and line. Check it out and keep an eye on their YouTube channel.
