  • Maba met his winemaking partner shortly after their first introduction (True)
  • The vineyard was newly built from scratch (False — 5th generation, 100+ years old)

 Rusty's closing line: "Wine isn't just about what's in the glass — it's about the story behind it. And sometimes that story involves a flying whale."
