  "account": "In 2013, singer Pink and her husband Carey Hart purchased a 200-acre ranch in Santa Barbara County, California, for nearly $9 million. The property included a vineyard, which Pink had acquired online during a tour in Australia without physically visiting the site first. The couple had been visiting the Santa Ynez area for about 20 years, often stopping at wineries during their motorcycle rides. Apart from the vineyard, the estate featured a 10-bedroom, 10,000-square-foot home, a pool, and a spa.\n\nPink's interest in wine began in her 20s when she started visiting vineyards during tour breaks and later studied about it through Wine and Spirit Educational Trust courses and UCLA Extension. She eventually developed an understanding of the process involved in winemaking, including grape farming and land care. After purchasing the California property, Pink began making wine herself, initially in a refrigerated garage with a single macro bin. She worked with winemaker Alison Thomson, whom she met at a dinner party that served as an informal job interview.\n\nInitially, Pink intended to make wine for her own learning, but later decided to release the wine commercially. The first Two Wolves bottling was released in 2018, and by then, the winery had become a significant project for Pink. Organic farming plays a central role in Two Wolves' operations, given the previous use of pesticides in the vineyard. Thomson, who studied restorative ecology, emphasized the importance of cover crops, native plantings, and habitat structures for maintaining a healthy vineyard ecosystem. The wines are grown on 25 certified-organic acres within the larger ranch Pink and Hart acquired in 2013.\n\nThe winery's name, Two Wolves, derives from a Cherokee legend about two wolves representing contrasting qualities within a person. Pink chose the name to symbolize balance and the choices people make, as the property itself is situated on Chumash land. Two Wolves has also become a project led by women, with Pink assembling a team of five women. For Pink, working with women in leadership roles provided a different perspective from her previous experiences in the industry.",
  "summary": "Pink bought a 200-acre California ranch with her husband Carey Hart for nearly $9 million in 2013. What began as an interest in wine grew into Two Wolves, an organic wine business. After years of studying winemaking and making small batches privately, Pink released her first vintage in 2014 and has since built a team around organic farming and winemaking.",
