[Calabria](https://www.mododibere.com/travel-show/calabria-season-trailer/) won this round and will advance in the Wine Doc Face Off tournament, but [Texas](https://www.mododibere.com/travel-show/texas-season-trailer/) still lives large in our hearts. We learned all about Texas and Calabrian wines and documented the oral history of local languages from Texas German to cowboys shooting the sh\*t, from traditional fishermen to Calabrian speakers of Arbëreshë, an ancient dialect of Albanian.  
  
Listen (or watch on YouTube!) to learn which [Calabrian fishermen](https://www.tiktok.com/@francescomarghel?ref=mododibere.com) Rose Thomas still follows on “Ticky Tocky” and why an old ranch dugout with a makeshift outdoor shower was these filmmaker’s most memorable red carpet.
