Vino Video – Scott Kirkpatrick, Winemaker, Dancing Crow Vineyard, Hopland

June 2, 2025by Ray FisterNo Comments

The wine growing regions of California are vast and beyond imagination when it comes to acreage as well as just plain beauty. Dancing Crow Vineyard is located in Hopland just a couple hours north of San Francisco. The scenery along the drive is stunning and the wines are equally exceptional. Scott Kirkpatrick is Winemaker and General Manager at Dancing Crow and I caught up with him just a few weeks ago. Seeking out these special ag spaces is not only worth the time but discovery is half the fun of loving wine.

Podcast 701 – William Simons, Wine Dir. & Dir. of Operations, Albi, Washington DC

May 29, 2025by Ray FisterNo Comments

The secrets of a Michelin starred restaurant’s fine wine cellar is the blend of knowledge, experience and creativity. William Simons is the Wine Director and Director of Operations at Albi in Washington DC and I spoke with him on the phone just a few weeks ago. Albi’s Palestinian identity with a broad focus on hospitality and a wine list of underrepresented producers from Lebanon, Palestine, Corsica and other areas, make it an adventure in a town of exceptional restaurants. In this show you’ll get an idea of presenting wine in a whole different light.
