Winemaker William Allen from Two Shepherds in Northern California shares his experiences in the winemaking industry. I talked with William about his old-world style wine, Rhone Valley in France, and why he uses the stems in his winemaking.
There are lots of decisions that winemakers must make during the process which makes this a challenging and very personal experience. Allen doesn’t use commercial yeast in his winemaking. He prefers to use a style of winemaking that is more “hands-off.” He uses an approach called native yeast fermentation, gathering yeast from the skin of the grapes to produce his wine.

Hi, I’m Phoebe Chongchua—founder of Live Fit Magazine. I created this space to blend my love of travel, storytelling, and wellness into one curated destination. Live Fit is about living well in every sense—exploring new places, staying curious, and finding balance on the road and at home. I’m especially drawn to immersive, active travel—think hikes with a view, bike rides through wine country, and experiences that connect you to a place and its people. Thoughtful, luxurious travel, good food, and a touch of style—that’s what Live Fit Magazine is all about.
