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.
