Untamed is more than just a tasting room; it’s a full sensory experience featuring an open-concept production space and a world-class culinary program. We dive into the technical artistry behind their sparkling wines, the philosophy of "Old World Elegance," and the story behind their famous wood-fired pizzas (including the legendary "South African Summer Pizza").
*In this episode, we cover:*
🍷 Dane Sanvido’s journey from South Africa to the Texas Hill Country.
🍷 The unique "Project X" cider and their diverse wine portfolio.
🍷 The "Summer Pizza" debate: Bacon, Bananas, and Peppadews!
🍷 How Untamed is bridging the gap between high-end elegance and high-energy hospitality.
