This week on our Vino Lingo Video segment we feature a favorite term, “ASDIN”. Well, actually an acronym. This one is defined by Rebecca Sciandri Griffin of Sciandri Family Vineyard in the Coombsville district of Napa Valley. Learn more by visiting www.sciandrivineyards.com.

t was just over a year ago, July in fact, that we first interviewed Drew Nenow of Nenow Family Wines (Podcast #392) in Paso Robles. Of course the time that has passed made us all feel like we were in suspended animation. This time around we talk with Drew at his main gig as Winemaker and Production Manager at Onx Wines, also in Paso. The Paso Robles area has grown a reputation for fine wines that should be experienced. And Drew will tell you why!

You can also hear Drew on our Vino Lingo segment defining the term “Cluster Shaping.”
