For this podcast we feature our second interview with Kathleen Inman of Inman Family Winery. We chose to shoot video and record Kathleen at the Winery in Sonoma back in June of 2014. Learn more by visiting www.inmanfamilywines.com.

Don van Staaveren is a winemaker….and a surfer….not a big surprise there as it seems we’ve met many winemaker/surfers in our travels. Don even keeps a couple ‘boards’ in the cellar…just in case.

Truth be told, Don is a man of many and varied interests….but today we talk about Three Sticks wine…and his passion for Pinot.

Don also joins the lineup on VINO LINGO….take a listen to his definition of Field Blend.
