Winemakers get asked hundreds of questions and as you might imagine, many are repeated. For this podcast we revisit the question I ask just about every winemaker I interview. What is the one question you’d like to be asked that you’ve never been asked. This program features answers from 22 winemakers from all over the country. They never get this in advance so the answers are fresh if not just off the cuff. This always gets a great reaction…

Brent Amos wears three hats at Las Positas Vineyards in Livermore Valley, Winemaker, Partner and General Manager. In that case, I imagine harvest is likely more than a 24 hour day for him. But Livermore Valley is the kind of place that’s so laid-back, it almost doesn’t seem like work. Las Positas offers a broad selection and focuses on handcrafted small lot wines. And those are the kind of wines our listeners love. So do I.

You can also hear Brent on our Vino Lingo segment defining the term Bramble.
