Once in a while we meet up with a winemaker that is actually a native of Napa Valley. Imagine that! Jeff Cole is Winemaker at Sullivan Rutherford Estate and his original plan was quite a bit different than you might expect. But we’ll let Jeff tell you all about that. While we are currently unable to travel to the winemakers, we didn’t let the pandemic stop us from chatting by phone. We spoke with Jeff just a couple weeks ago so it’s possible tasting rooms may have revised their reopening plans. Be sure to check out their website to learn more.
