It’s not often we interview a non winemaker for this podcast, but author, wine journalist and blogger Alice Feiring has a point of view we felt was worth airing. Alice’s latest book is titled “For the Love of Wine” and has just been published by Potomic Books. Alice gives the reader a look into her journey to Georgia to discover where the first wine on earth was made and in the process discovers a whole new (old) world of wine. We spoke with Alice by phone from her home in New York City back in February.

Today Neil is Vice President of Winemaking for Duckhorn and has helped grow the brand to an even greater success today. We got together with Neil during Premiere Napa Valley week at the Paraduxx Winery…and in fact did the interview in the cellar while the festivities continued in the tasting room. We talked about his experiences as a winemaker as well as the amazing growth of the Duckhorn family.

Diversity is one of the most interesting aspects of the wine business in Napa Valley. You’ll find many men and women winemakers as well as winemakers from all over the world….French, Danish, Swiss, Italian and Australian to name a few. For this program we spoke with Australian born Susan Doyle, General Manager and Winemaker for Spring Mountain Vineyard. Susan grew up on a ranch so it seemed natural to make her way in to the wine business. We caught up with Susan at the vineyard during Premiere Napa Valley week in mid Feburary.
