Ep 023 | Martha Stoumen Wines “Patience is a virtue,” is a phrase we have all heard at one point or another. But for my guest today, it is the basis of her wine making process. She is a one woman show looking to make wine that truly represents California. Martha Stoumen, of Martha Stoumen Wines, was born and raised in California. She learned winemaking techniques in Italy and South France and came back to California, where she has been working on perfecting her wines.
