Welcome to Season 1 of Major Crush (The Dirty Crush). This is Episode 2, and it's all about the Napa Valley growing region known as Calistoga. This episode features a very personal interview with a premier winemaker and winery owner, Chris Madrigal of Madrigal Family Winery. Chris is from one of the most storied families in the Valley, and his philosophy on wine growing, winemaking, and living a life in harmony and balance with nature makes him one of Meredith and Lou's favorite people in the California Wine Country!
