Matt Cross Tap Takeover Episode
Cait and Eric Johnson are the owners and winemakers behind Ann Albert Wines, based out of San Luis Obispo. In fact, they’re my neighbors - they live right around the corner with their darling baby daughter. Eric is also the head winemaker at Talley Vineyards, a benchmark winery for the Central Coast where he’s worked for 16 years. And Cait works in marketing at a creative firm in town called Level Studios. They told us about how they met and fell in love — actually Matt described that, because he got to witness it — how Cait has a statistical superpower, how Eric came up through the ranks at Talley, and how McDonald’s cracks a fresh egg for each egg McMuffin.
