September 10, 2026: This week we welcome our local extraordinary winemaker, Darren Siple (pictured with his family), of Rincon Mountain Wines. We’ll be discussing the challenges of the ever changing business of making wine. Darren is Carpinteria’s one and only vintner, and is facing a world of shifting tastes and a more demanding climate. Discover the how’s and why’s of Darren’s passion for wine and music this Thursday at 12noon PT on Bryan’s Radio Lunch Truck, on Carpinteria’s very own CarpinteriaValleyRadio.com.
