Summary: Annie Favia is the brain, heart, and soul behind Favia Wines and Erda Teas. Though born in Connecticut, she's the NorCal gal of our dreams— a viticulturist with an obvious green thumb, a deep respect for nature and how it sustains us, and the sunny, engaging disposition of someone who knows her shit but isn't about to lord it over you. Can you tell we fell in love with her over the course of our conversation? In this episode, we go deep on Cabernet Franc, what drew Annie to wine, how she got into growing her own herbs for teas, and how she likes to host at home. Predictably, we invited ourselves over for dinner as soon as we get our cross-country road trip under way. We know a dinner at her place would be one to remember. Learn more about your ad choices.
