In this rich and detailed episode of Distilling the West, Dan and Dave sit down with David Warter, Vice President of E&J Gallo, and Rita Hansen, Senior Director of Distillation, to explore not just the flavors of their exceptional spirits but the deep history behind one of America's most influential distilleries. The conversation spans generations of innovation, from the founding of E&J Gallo to its transformation into a leader in the craft distillation world, particularly with the prestigious Germain Robin brandy line. David and Rita guide Dan and Dave through a tasting of three standout spirits: Germain Robin XO, Germain Robin Single Barrel, and Argonaut Saloon Strength. But beyond the tasting notes, they delve into the historical significance of each, sharing how the heritage of brandy-making in California is reflected in the complex flavors of the XO, the craftsmanship involved in the creation of the Single Barrel, and the bold American spirit captured in Argonaut Saloon Strength. Listeners are treated to a masterclass in distillation history as David and Rita discuss the evolution of Gallo from a large-scale wine producer to a key player in the high-end brandy and craft spirits market. They also reveal how Germain Robin—a once-small, artisanal brandy producer—came to thrive under Gallo's stewardship while maintaining the meticulous techniques that have earned it international acclaim. Dan and Dave offer their tasting impressions throughout, blending their expertise with the historical insights shared by David and Rita. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the intersection of history, tradition, and innovation in the world of distillation, and a deep dive into what makes E&J Gallo and Germain Robin icons in the industry.

Summit day on Mt. Rainier had just begun. Less than an hour out of high camp, carefully leading her team up a well-trodden boot track, Rita Hansen suddenly plunged into a crevasse. After falling more than 60 feet, she was completely buried by falling ice and snow. Amazingly, Rita was basically unharmed. But she couldn't move. In episode 55 of the Sharp End, Rita shares the details of her 2007 accident and rescue, a story she has never told publicly before. The Sharp End is presented by Mammut, with additional support from Desert Mountain Medicine and Suunto. This podcast is produced by the American Alpine Club.
