On this episode, we get to meet Pris Austin, the golden hearted owner of Los Adoptables dog shelter in Ensenada. Get ready to fall in love with the four-footed friends we see. This multinational effort to make a dent in the stray dog population by helping them find homes is truly noble.

Next, we take a trip to Tecate where Noel Téllez shows us his famous Bichi Wine. Bichi could mean “au naturel,” naked, and that’s the pure style of the wine-making going on at this vineyard.
