Vino Video – Blair Guthrie, Proprietor & Winemaker, Guthrie Family Wines, Sonoma County

August 11, 2025by Ray FisterNo Comments

For our listeners I have to note that we conducted this interview in the lobby of a busy Sonoma hotel on a lovely Spring afternoon. I met up with Blair Guthrie who makes his eponymous wine in Sonoma. Blair is from New Zealand and after spending a bit of time in the US making wine, he met his future wife. Certainly not a new story, but it has come along way and he his focus is all about great wine and a great life.

You can hear Blair on our Vino Lingo segment defining the term “Mouse”
