Premiere Napa Valley is back in full force for 2023. Winemakers from all over the Valley have created special lots for the auction to support the Napa Vintners. Our last PNV podcast was in 2020 so it was a very happy reunion of winemakers and the trade to be together at various wineries for tastings during the final week of February. This podcast features brief interviews with almost 50 winemakers at these events pouring and catching up. Listen and please enjoy.

Our first interview with Joe Nielsen, was by phone back in June of 2020, a time when travel was just not happening. Joe is Director of Winemaking at Rams Gate Winery in the Carneros AVA in Sonoma. This time I visited the winery in person and it was certainly an enjoyable experience. Every interview is a wine education for me. I the same for you.
