The journey of Rafael Rodruguez, historian at Rubicon Estate, from Mexico City to Napa Valley. His colorful story details traveling to the USA by rail, working for John Daniel Jr. and his meeting with Francis Ford Coppola. Rafael is a major part of Napa Valley history.
This podcast features Amy Aiken, owner of Meander Wines in St. Helena, Kevin Morrisey, winemaker at Ehlers Estate also in St. Helena and Ryan Zepaltas, owner of Zepaltas wines in Sonoma.
We first met Amy at the Premiere Napa Valley event in February of this year. Amy combines fierce independence, humor and a common sense business attitude to make a fantastic Cabernet…and she is originally from Wisconsin.
Kevin Morrisey is the winemaker at Ehlers Estate in St. Helena. It’s worth noting that a portion of the profits from sales of Ehlers wine go to heart research.
