Most of our listeners know that to be a winery owner as well as winemaker is no simple task. The business demands much of your time, but this is where Rosa Fierro shines. Wine, simply put, is her passion and love. Rosa not only produces around 1000 cases annually but she also spends a great deal of time in the tasting room, which is located in Vasco Row, Livermore Valley. I caught up with Rosa in the tasting room just a few weeks ago to get an idea of how she found her way to wine.

Without a doubt, the Willamette Valley is one of the top Pinot Noir and Chardonnay growing areas in the US and likely, the world. Guillaume Large is the winemaker at Résonance he invited Life Between the Vines along with other wine journalists to visit the property in Oregon for a few days to learn about the terroir, the wine, the food and the people. It was a delightful experience. When I speak of passion, Guillaume is all about that with an equal amount of extraordinary energy.
