Episode #12 – Christmas Fun at Sculpterra with the Frankel Family

Описание: In Episode #12 of Vino Frankel: A Taste of Sculpterra, Paul is joined by three very special guests — his own family. Martha Frankel, Abraham Frankel, and cousin Jenelle Cabrera join him for a fun, family-centered Christmas episode filled with stories, laughter, and holiday spirit.

This week’s show is shorter than usual (the kids have school to get back to!), but it still brings behind-the-scenes moments from Sculpterra’s annual holiday production, plus a full pistachio tasting instead of wine.

Paul also shares what’s happening in the cellar — freezing morning temperatures, malolactic fermentation checks, and preparations for upcoming December bottlings. Later, the family watches and reacts to the “Christmas Miracle in the Garden” video, talking about their roles, the story behind the event, and what it means to them.

To wrap things up, the kids share hilarious personal stories about “Tío Paul,” and Paul breaks down the vineyard animal of the week: skunks — their behavior, defenses, and surprising place in vineyard ecosystems.
