Welcome back to Beats Vines & Life! In this special bonus episode, host MJ Towler sits down with Justin and Beth Harmon, the dynamic husband-and-wife duo behind Argot Wines out of Sonoma.
This lively conversation delves into the couple’s unique journey in the wine industry—from their serendipitous first meeting while sorting Sauvignon Blanc at a custom crush facility to building a celebrated winemaking brand together.
MJ shares his admiration for their critically acclaimed Bastard Tongue Pinot Noir, while the Harmons dish out behind-the-scenes stories on vintage challenges, their hands-on approach to blending, and why community always comes first at Argot.
Whether you’re a wine lover, a fan of creative partnerships, or just here for good vibes, tune in as they unpack what makes a California cult wine, the hustle behind expanding their Sauvignon Blanc program, and how their “Friday night seven days a week” lifestyle delivers some of the best pours in Sonoma.
This is an episode full of laughs, honest insights, and a few porch-pounding recommendations you won’t want to miss. So pour yourself a glass, settle in, and join us for a taste of passion, craftsmanship, and life’s unforgettable moments.
