Shatter
Anger Mangement
ASDIN
Sympa
Flux Capacitor
Alien?
These are just a few of the terms we call Vino Lingo: Wine words defined by the winemakers themselves. We’ve now introduced Vino Lingo Video to our podcast which will run every Thursday. For this podcast, we’ve compiled some of these common…and not so common terms used by winemakers. Listen and you’ll likely get a wine education and hopefully a laugh to boot. Enjoy!

Our interview with Michael Scholz, VP of Winemaking and Vineyards at St. Supery Estate was recorded last Thursday, while fires were still threatening the north part of the Valley. It’s been a few years since we last sat down and spoke with Michael and I wish it could have been in person and I wish he had no worries about fires in the Valley. But this is 2020. On a bright note, Michael is always fun to chat with and it was just nice to get caught up. You can visit donatenow.networkforgood.org/NVCF to help out. Or check out our newsletter which shows a link to help victims of the Glass Fire.
You can also hear Michael on our Vino Lingo segment defining the term “Angry Ants”
