Signorello Estate Winery was lost to the 2017 Atlas Peak fire, but is now on its way back later this year. We’ve talked with Proprietor Ray Signorello many times but here we meet with his winemaker Priyanka French. Priyanka’s background is extensive having worked in wine around the globe as well as Napa Valley. This interview was recorded during Premiere Napa Valley week where Priyanka was deeply involved with the auction. I find her last name ironic so you need to listen to hear her amazing story.

You can also hear Priyanka on our Vino Lingo segment defining the term “Old Ladies”.

Small wineries, small production can equal big results. That’s something many of our listeners love to learn about. Karen Cakebread is Founder of Ziata Wines in Napa Valley and spending time in the vineyard is her passion. Karen and I have chatted many times over the years but it been a long break till now. It was nice to be in a relaxed setting to talk and laugh as much as possible.
