Sonja Magdevski is a winemaker, as well as a Michigander, a first-generation American, a Baskin-Robbins expert, a Fulbright scholar and a journalist. Open and thoughtful, Sonja brings a wealth of stories to the podcast, from watching Westerns with her dad, to mistaking an MTV reality show for journalism — a move that subtly changed her life. I’ll just cut to the chase here: she wound up meeting and having a relationship with Emilio Estevez while helping him plant a vineyard in Malibu. They’re no longer together — Sonja is now married to a fellow Santa Barbara County winemaker, Greg Brewer — but the winery they began together in Los Alamos would go on to be her baby, Casa Dumetz. Sonja shared her perspective on travel and education, as well as immigration and the significance of beauty in the modern age.
