Winemaker Jean Hoefliger has been a guest on our podcast more times than I can count…and that’s for a good reason. Jean has developed a company consulting for wineries in many different parts of the world so his point of view is based on varied experience. Plus he’s fun to talk to. I met Jean many years ago and its been a pleasure to watch him grow as a winemaker. It’s good to laugh with him, and at him.

Heading east over Howell Mountain you’ll find Pope Valley. While regarded as part of the Napa Valley AVA, Pope Valley is just east of St Helena and is unlike the busy Valley it parallels. This is part two of our interview with the owners of Pope Valley Winery, this time featuring Vintner and family member David Eakle. Like many Vintners, David wears several hats along with his sister Diana Eakle Hawkins, whom we featured in podcast 643. David took time out during harvest to give us a glimpse into his world of wine. Being at the winery was like being in a time machine.
