During our travels we meet some incredibly interesting people and those that can be described as characters. That’s Tom Rinaldi. Tom is a winemaker’s winemaker. Consulting, tasting, but most of all playing in the cellar. That’s how he learns and discovers. For several years we’ve wanted to interview Tom and we finally caught up with him at our friend Chris Madrigal’s Winery. Tom brings joy to wine, so we suggest finding that you find a wine he makes and soak up the fun.

You can also hear Tom on our Vino Lingo segment defining the term “Kitty Litter Box”
