Denis Hoey – Odonata Wines, Ep. 49

Creating opportunity. That’s how our guest, winemaker Denis Hoey, has been living his life. He pursued a dream of making wine, and now that he’s established his own winery, Odonata Wines in the Monterey County AVA, he’s dedicated to bringing others along in the wine industry.

The Marys visit Denis at his Salinas Valley winery – one of seven on the River Road Wine Trail – and we are blown away by his accomplishments and his drive. He makes about 32 different wines – whew! So there’s a taste for everyone. If you love sparkling wine, Odonata is the place to go. Denis loves bubbles, and he makes some fun bottlings, including some sparkling reds!

Join us and be inspired by this passionate winemaker who’s paying it forward.
