Episode 47: Iconic and Cult wine with Chrissy Wittmann from The Prisoner Wine Company

In this episode, Jill talks to Chrissy Wittmann from The Prisoner Wine Company. Chrissy Wittmann came to winemaking in an unconventional way. After earning a B.S. in Ecology and Systematic Biology at California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, the future winemaker found her love for wine while analyzing soil and waste water samples in a lab. After serving time as a laboratory enologist, Chrissy returned to Cal Poly, achieving her master’s degree in Agriculture. 

The Prisoner Wine Company takes an unconventional approach to winemaking by working with impassioned growers to source varietals from vineyards and appellations across California. Together, they create wine blends that challenge expectations.
