This week on our Vino Lingo segment we feature David Ramey, Founder, Ramey Wine Cellars, Healdsburg, Sonoma, defining the term “Fresh”. Learn more by visiting www.rameywine.com
I’ve been lucky to interview David Ramey of Ramey Wine Cellars a few times over the years and each time has been an entertaining education. Humor and wine flow together when talking with David and I always walk away with a huge smile on my face. Honored by the industry, respected by fellow winemakers and loved by wine fans, David is simply, one of a kind.
You can hear David on our Vino Lingo segment defining the term “Fresh”.
Ever wonder what the heck winemakers
are talking about when you hear words like
Budding
Elevage
Double Dry
Hard Bung?
These words are fascinating, educational and just plain fun,
especially when defined by the winemakers themselves. Take a listen
while sipping your favorite wine, and learn how it became the wine
you love!
