Vino Video Part Two- A Visit with Four Spring Mountain Winemakers: Stu Smith, Sheldon Richards, Wesley Steffens & Justin Moody

April 4, 2026by Ray FisterNo Comments

Part Two.

In February I sat down with four Spring Mountain Winemakers to talk about their wines and what it takes to operate a mountain winery. Stu Smith/Smith-Madrone, Sheldon Richards/Paloma Vineyard, Wesley Steffens/Vineyard 7 & 8 and Justin Mooday/Aadland-Moody join us at the Vineyard 7 & 8 tasting room. This is a strong group of winemakers growing the best you can taste. I thank them for their time. Thanks also to Vineyard 7 & 8 for hosting. Also thanks to Julie Ann Kodmur for organizing the event.

Vino Video – Lisa Redmon, Proprietor, Redmon Wines, Coombsville AVA, Napa Valley

March 30, 2026by Ray FisterNo Comments

Every wine lover has a passion for turning friends on to new, high end wines and I’m no different. Coombsville has been an AVA of Napa Valley since 2011 and Winemaker Lisa Redmon has been living and growing wine there for some time now. Coombsville is now recognized as a top fine wine area, something Lisa has known all along. And there is that connection to A&W. Often you’ll hear it takes a lot of beer to make good wine and in this case, its really root beer.

You can also hear Lisa on our Vino Lingo segment defining the term “Struggle”.
