content: In this interview, Edgar explains his reason for naming the winery Bodega de Edgar, talks about his parents (his father was a dishwasher), and how the family ended up in the Paso Robles area. He talks about going from construction to restaurant work to his interest in food and wine. Edgar also speaks about wine makers, the industry attitude in Paso Robles, and learning the business: buying his fruit and barrels, getting a break from the Dusi family. He ends with a discussion about his wines, labels, his wine philosophy, and giving back to the community.
