In this episode we talk about:
- Rodrigo’s background and why a summer job in a restaurant was the beginning of his curiosity about wine.
- The uncanny timing of an unwanted thesis on organic agriculture opened the door to lifelong learning and working with biodynamic agriculture.
- A glimpse into the world of wine in Chile in the early 2000s, and then mid-2010s, as he worked with trailblazers Matetic Vineyards and Veramonte.
- His fascination, and love affair, with California, brought him to LA, then Mendocino, Sonoma, and finally landed him in Napa.
- The importance and influence of key biodynamic mentors in his life like Alvaro Espinoza and Alan York shaped his path.
- His knack for coming into wine projects and transforming them, with biodynamic viticulture, to finer wines.
- Chile & California’s geographical similarities from coastline to weather, and even soil. Culture is another story, though.
