Making wine in Napa Valley for over 20 years now, Henrik Poulsen brings great experience to the table, as well as his very own brand, Release. While Release is bottled is small quantities, I find that is the type of wine many of our listeners look for. Originally from Denmark, Henrik has made Napa Valley his home and with that has grown some truly exceptional wine. In addition, Henrik is also a Consulting Winemaker. Often, the smaller the wine, the greater the prize.

Henrik Poulsen is a skilled winemaker with a palate that would amaze. Henrik was assistant winemaker along with winemaker Jean Hoefliger back at Alpha Omega’s very beginning. Now on his second vintage with AO, Henrik is back as winemaker, playing in some of Napa Valley’s most prestigious vineyards.
