Podcast #467 – Ken Nerlove & Elise Nerlove, Owners Elkhorn Peak Cellars, Napa Valley

Last year I recorded his daughter Elise as part of the Save the Family Farms Podcast (#374). For this podcast I met with both of them on my first trip back to Napa in over twenty months. There’s nothing like smiling faces and drinking wine, in person with winegrowers. Nothing. Learn more by visiting www.elkhornpeak.com
