ROCKnVINO is BACK... and now we've also got a radio show! Tune in on the 2nd and 4th Monday of every month for a new live episode at ksro.com!
For our introductory episode back, hosts Michelle and Coco invite Ross Cobb, owner and winemaker at Cobb Wines to chat about wine and music. Ross has a deep connection to both music and wine, playing bass and collecting records since he was a boy. He went to work helping his father and mother establish their vineyard, Coastlands, just outside of Occidental in Sonoma County before working for a variety of wineries, including Ferrari Carano, Williams Selyem, Flowers, Hirsch, and more. In 2001, Ross and his parents bottled their first wines under the Cobb Wines label, and now Ross is the owner and winemaker there.
Ross is also the winemaker for Les Claypool’s wine label, Claypool Cellars, and was even pulled onstage by Les to play bass at a show at the Hopmonk! Listen to all of the fun music and wine stories Ross shares in this episode, and learn more about his wines at cobbwines.com.
Hear more behind the scenes conversation with Ross Cobb, including a tasting of a special pinot noir dedicated to his late mother, as well as how his wine was featured in the Ralph Feinnes movie The Menu, online at ROCKnVINO.com.
And finally, we've got a Patreon!! If you would like access to exclusive content and some pretty rad experiences we would greatly appreciate your support!

As we continue to Shelter In Place, we're looking for more things to do and to watch. So why not watch amazing documentaries about food, wine and travel?! Well, lucky for all of us you can do that easily with Somm TV, created by Jason Wise. We chatted with Jason about the Somm movies that started him down this road, his background in underwater photography and how it all led him to create The Delicacy, a documentary about Sea Urchins and the fishermen and women behind it all. It was a labor of love that took him 6 years to complete but in the end produced a fantastic film about this unique and exotic food that fishermen risk their lives for on a daily basis to harvest.
Check it out at SommTV today!
