This week, we're traveling back to 2016 to discuss Captain Fantastic. This film follows a devoted father raising his kids off the grid, teaching them self-sufficiency and a deep appreciation for the world around them. But when they're forced to reenter mainstream society, their beliefs are challenged, and they begin to question everything they've been taught. Equal parts heartwarming and heartbreaking, Captain Fantastic sparks a powerful conversation about what it truly means to raise a family the “right” way.

And for today's episode, we're pairing it with a Birch Wine from Meadowdale Winery—because what better way to dive into this story than with something just as unique?
