Ulloa Cellars - Nancy Ulloa

Author: DKPS Media May 16, 2024 Duration: 32:02
My name is Nancy Ulloa and I am the Winemaker, Owner & Boss Lady of Ulloa Cellars. Ulloa Cellars is a tale of passion for a dream and the manifestation of the hard work involved in the process. I moved to Paso Robles from the Bay Area in 2017 with the burning desire to learn the art of winemaking. For the last few years, I have gained an invaluable amount of knowledge from various respected winemakers/mentors who have eagerly welcomed me to this community. Fast forward 6 years, I am about to release my fourth vintage of Ulloa Cellars. Established in 2019 my journey started with the creation of my first wine, Grüner Veltliner. Backed up with lots of supporting vibes, Baby Grüner was a huge success leading to the expansion of my current project in 2022. With endless gratitude and humbleness, I hope you enjoy these wines as much as I enjoyed the journey of their creation.

Crossing the Atlantic from its original home, Wine Soundtrack-USA brings a deeply personal format to American listeners. This podcast, produced by DKPS Media, sits at a unique intersection where the arts of storytelling and winemaking converge. Instead of tasting notes or vintage charts, each episode is built around a candid conversation where a wine producer answers thirty questions. That framework reveals the person behind the label-their history, their philosophy, and the daily realities of running a vineyard. You’ll hear the unscripted hopes and challenges that define a vintage long before the bottle is ever opened. It’s about the landscape, the family decisions, and the quiet moments in the cellar that most never get to witness. Originally launched in Italy in 2017, this series has built a reputation for intimacy, and its U.S. launch extends that same thoughtful inquiry to American soil. For anyone curious about what it truly means to craft wine, this podcast offers a direct line to the source. The conversations are less an interview and more an invitation to listen in on a story that’s been years in the making, one that gives context and character to every glass. It’s for those who believe the best part of wine is the human connection it represents.
