Premiere Napa Valley is back in full force for 2023. Winemakers from all over the Valley have created special lots for the auction to support the Napa Vintners. Our last PNV podcast was in 2020 so it was a very happy reunion of winemakers and the trade to be together at various wineries for tastings during the final week of February. This podcast features brief interviews with almost 50 winemakers at these events pouring and catching up. Listen and please enjoy.

When you visit Napa Valley and specifically the city of Napa, take the time to have a cocktail at The Fink. You’ll be glad you did. Most every night you’ll find your host, Judd Finkelstein chatting with guests and having a laugh over some of the finest mixed drinks anywhere. Its been almost ten years since we last interviewed Judd at his winery, Judd’s Hill which can be found just off Silverado Trail. Needless to say we were long overdue. Judd supplies great stories with lots of laughs!
