JL Wood dives deeper into Chardonnay than any other winery I’ve ever spoken to. Ed Filice is the Winemaker at JL Wood and we met up at the Napa Wine Company to talk about his experiences. These white wines are as varied as can be and well worth the taste. But your question might be, why just Chardonnay? Listen to Ed as he fills in the blanks with great stories only a winemaker can tell.

The Coombsville AVA is Napa Valley’s 16^th sub-appelation and that designation originated with a petition to the federal government, started by Tom Farella. Tom’s wine journey started when he was very young, finding an appreciation of fine French wines. And the rest is history. I visited Tom at his beautiful Coombsville property by the foot of the Vaca mountains to look deeper into this rich wine growing region. There’s nothing like hanging out with a cool winemaker.
