This week on our Vino Lingo Video segment we feature a favorite term, “ASDIN”. Well, actually an acronym. This one is defined by Rebecca Sciandri Griffin of Sciandri Family Vineyard in the Coombsville district of Napa Valley. Learn more by visiting www.sciandrivineyards.com.
This podcast takes us into a slightly
different area of the wine business, but still with a focus on family
winemaking. Rebecca Sciandri Griffin and Elise Nerlove Rutchick are
both part of Save The Family Farms, which is based in Napa Valley.
Rebecca is from Sciandri Family Vineyards and Elise, from Elkhorn
Peak Cellars. You may remember Rebecca from podcast #170 featuring
her late father Ron, released in December of 2015. We met up with
Elise and Rebecca at the Sciandri
Vineyards in Coombsville just outside
the city of Napa. Winemakers work hard. It’s important to see that
few businesses do retail, wholesale, manufacturing, legal,
hospitality, compliance as well as working hand in hand with mother
nature.

To all our listeners we wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
This newsletter will be the final one for 2015. The next podcast and newsletter will run the first week of January. We have brought you interviews with over 300 winemakers from all over the world and it is our intent to continue to extend our reach to new and familiar winemakers alike. We also include our “Ray’s Picks” which features all the wines posted in the 2015 newsletters. Here’s hoping you have enjoyed reading these bits as much as we enjoy gathering them for you.
Over the years we have met many Napa Valley winemakers….but Ron Sciandri was big a favorite. We interviewed Ron and his daughter Rebecca at the family home in Coombsville in February of 2014. Ron had a huge smile for everyone and exuded classic wine country hospitality. His wine is excellent and we frankly feel very lucky to have met and talked with him. Ron passed away on November 13th. While in the coming weeks we have several brand new interviews to share, we felt it was a nice idea to remember a guy that left a big impression. So cheers to Ron Sciandri….take a listen and crack a smile.
