Kim & Phil Asmundson, Lakawa & Deep Sky Vineyards

Kim and Phil purchased a vineyard with The Vines in 2007 and during their first visits to Mendoza realized that the climate and terroir in Mendoza is strikingly similar to their home in Tucson, Arizona. So they decided to expand their winemaking beyond Argentina, creating a Malbec and other wines in Tuscon. We talk about the differences in terroir between their northern and southern vineyards and how the process of learning about winemaking and farming has inspired them during their retirement.
