Spending time in Alexander Valley takes you away from the heavy traffic found in busier areas and is just plain good for the soul. Grapes farmed here are diverse and make exceptional wine. I met up with Dustin Moilanen, Co-Founder and Director of Winemaking at ACTA Wines during the heart of harvest. Needless to say, things were busy at the winery as we finished the interview Dustin headed to pick up where he left off. The grapes don’t wait.

I’ve looked forward to this interview for a long time. Dan Kosta, Founder & President of DK Wine group is well known for some of the finest Pinot Noir you can find. The tasting room is located in Bacchus Landing, just outside of Healdsburg, and that’s where Dan and I met for this recording. He brings home the idea of making wine fun and not too serious. So with that, we laughed. And we got just a little bit serious.
