Since the start of this podcast over 13 years ago I’ve interviewed Stu Smith several times. I’ve always enjoyed his candor and humor. He’s a very smart guy. This was one of the most fun and highly educating interviews I’ve done with Stu. I enjoyed every minute. Its also one of the few times we had an “audience” during the recording. Speedy and Lisa Baldwin, were at the winery for a tasting, and sat in on the recording, making for a good time. Stu has owned Smith-Madrone for 50 years now. Think about that before you listen. A fantastic accomplishment. Cheers to you, Stu.
Special thanks to Julie Ann Kodmur for arranging the interview.

The Vinoce Winery tasting room can be found in the city of Napa in a cozy space close to the Napa river. Vinoce’s winemaker Keith Emerson wears many hats when it comes to making wine. That keeps harvest all the more interesting. The fact is, I’ve always felt that the smaller quantity production a wine label offers, the greater the focus. Yep, small is good.
