In this episode, Jessica sits down with Bob from Vinos Unidos at the historic Charleston in downtown Fullerton—a former 1920s speakeasy with beautiful exposed brick walls and vintage ambiance.
Episode Highlights:
Bob shares exciting news about Vinos Unidos' new wine releases, including several that haven't even hit the market yet
Tasting and discussion of four distinctive wines:
Amistad Sauvignon Blanc: A fruity wine with guava notes that Bob describes as a perfect "porch pounder" for summer gatherings with friends
Anhelo Chardonnay: A 2023 release with balanced butterscotch notes and brightness from partial stainless steel aging
Jauregui Merlot: A Dry Creek (Sonoma) Merlot that Jessica champions as underrated and delicious
Teberdot: A Russian River red that impressed Jessica with its perfect dry finish
Bob discusses Vinos Unidos' winemaking philosophy of letting the fruit shine without over-oaking
News about their partnership with Escalon Cellars in Napa for appointment-only tastings
Announcement of a new tasting opportunity coming to Solace in Old Town Orange in about six weeks, where they'll offer tastings plus wine by the glass and bottle
Insights into limited production (just 50 cases of some wines) and their approach of creating small batches of many different wines
Wine Pairing Suggestions:
Amistad Sauvignon Blanc with Oaxaca cheese, queso fresco dishes, and green sauce enchiladas
The reds would pair beautifully with smoked meats like tri-tip
Coming Soon:
New rosé bottling on March 27
Possible Pinot Reserve release
More information about their Orange County tasting room to be announced
