Talking with Trevor Durling, Chief Winemaker at Beaulieu Vineyards in Napa Valley was like taking with an old friend. Its great to see the excitement on his face while talking about BV’s history. I was even given a behind the scenes tour of the winery that has been on Highway 29 for many, many years. The history goes deep and the space is like a funhouse of wine. You’ll likely never see the ghosts, but many people have left their mark on this winery over the decades.
