To say its been a long time since I’ve sat down with John Skupny for a full length interview, would be an understatement. I interviewed John for Podcast #32 back in April of 2011. To be clear, I’ve recorded John many times at Premiere Napa Valley among other industry events. But this time, we are joined by his son Reed. Lots of laughing and good fun made this father and son team a great podcast.

You can hear John on our Vino Lingo segment defining the term “Vin de L’Annee”.

The background of a typical winemaker is anything but typical. I’ve always found it interesting to learn about one’s work or education history when finding their way into the wine business. Julie Robertson, Winemaker at Crocker & Starr came from the field of architecture. One passion leads to another passion. It is really all about passion.

You can also hear Julie on our Vino Lingo segment defining the term “Roly Poly”.
