Tara Gomez and Mirera Taribo are winemakers in the Santa Ynez Valley. Tara is the first Native American woman winemaker in the United States, and her wife, Mireia, is a Spanish winemaker who brings her old-world winemaking skills to Central California. Making wine for Tara's tribe was the catalyst for Camins2Dreams, created by the duo, destined to follow the path to their dreams. Cassandra ventures to the Santa Ynez Valley with the pair to discuss their unique winemaking approach. Cassandra also meets Mexico-born and decorated Executive Chef Claudette Zepeda. Representation in fine dining while supporting Tara, Mirera, and others is part of her mission to diversify the industry.

Timothy Parker, former Navy Search and Rescue Swimmer and Veteran owns the only Black beer company in San Diego. His story, of being an anomaly in his naval career and a desire to pay it forward through brewing, shows his dedication and commitment to his country and community. Cassandra joins Timothy at his Chula Vista Brewery, locations in Chula Vista, CA to reflect on his journey in the military and the craft beer space. Cassandra also meets Donnie Edwards, former NFL football player and Founder of Best Defense Foundation who has teamed up with Tim to create a special brew for America's honored veterans.

Cassandra visits her "wine mom," Denise Clarke, the only Black Woman winemaker in San Diego County. Denise owns and runs Altipiano Vineyard in Escondido, California. She is an award-winning winemaker, with visitors often asking, "who's the winemaker?" The 2007 fires in San Diego devastated her avocado fields motivating her to plant grapes. Denise is adding to the history of the Highland Valley Wine Trail in San Diego County and creating generational wealth. Dr. Ricky Shabazz, the President of San Diego City College, and Donna DeBerry, President and CEO of the County of San Diego Black Chamber of Commerce, discuss the importance of closing the Black wealth gap and creating equity in education and business.

Cassandra embarks on a trip to Inglewood, California; from coffee to libations, she connects with Black entrepreneurs building community and leadership. Visiting Sip & Sonder, Crowns & Hops Brewery, and 1010 Wine and Events, Cassandra meets innovators embracing their culture while sharing the tools and resources to increase avenues to entrepreneurship.

The future of winemaking is filled with disruptors taking notes from previous generations. From flowers to Aztec traditions, two winemakers are leaning on their mentors to shape the future of winemaking. Aaliyah Nitoto, Founder of Free Range Flower Winery, and Chris Rivera of Seis Soles are influential in bringing new ideas to old traditions. Aaliyah incorporates her love for flowers and herbs, while Chris focuses on intentional practices from land to bottle. Their mentors, Phil Long, Founder of Longevity, and Joseph Smith, Founder of Vinture Wine Company and Klinker Brick winemaker, guide them along their path to success. Cassandra tastes their unique blends and learns how they pair their heritage with their craft.
