While traveling within the wine business you can meet the most interesting people, example Lori Budd. Lori and her husband Mike own Dracaena Wines in Paso Robles and I met Lori during my recent trip to the Abruzzo region of Italy. Not only is she a winemaker but also a fellow podcaster, hosting “Exploring the Wine Glass”. I was a guest on her show and now I’m happy to return the favor. Winemakers tell the best stories because they have the most interesting backgrounds!

You can also hear Lori on our Vino Lingo segment defining the term “Fining”

This week on our Vino Lingo Video segment we feature Elise Nerlove, Co-Owner at Elkhorn Peak Cellars, Napa Valley, defining the term “Micro Winery”. Learn more by visiting www.elkhornpeak.com

Chiles Valley is a very special part of Napa Valley, hidden away from huge crowds but still very visitor friendly. I would call Chiles a bit more of an adventure in wine. But then great wine is always worth the search. I visited Maxville Winery and met up Consulting Winemaker Jean Hoefliger as well as Winemaker Bastien Lucas. Lots of laughs with an old friend as well as a new friend. Get out your GPS and make the trip. The wine will be well worth it.

You can hear Bastien on our Vino Lingo segment defining the term “Never Half Ass”.

You can also hear Jean defining the term “Truth”.
