Vino Video – Judd Finkelstein at the Fink, Napa

January 2, 2024by Ray FisterNo Comments

When you visit Napa Valley and specifically the city of Napa, take the time to have a cocktail at The Fink. You’ll be glad you did. Most every night you’ll find your host, Judd Finkelstein chatting with guests and having a laugh over some of the finest mixed drinks anywhere. Its been almost ten years since we last interviewed Judd at his winery, Judd’s Hill which can be found just off Silverado Trail. Needless to say we were long overdue. Judd supplies great stories with lots of laughs!

You can also hear Judd on our Vino Lingo segment defining the term “Volatilize the Esters”

Vino Video – Jack Florence, Owner, Florence Vineyard, Rockpile AVA, Sonoma County

December 18, 2023by Ray FisterNo Comments

Our story today takes place in the Rockpile AVA, found to the north west of Santa Rosa in Sonoma County. Florence Vineyard sits above Lake Sonoma and is owned and farmed by Jack Florence. After growing grapes for many years Jack now bottles wine under his own label from the 18 acre property. Zinfandel and Petite Sirah grows well here and I caught up with Jack at the vineyard which offers stunning views of Sonoma as well as most excellent wine.

You can also hear Jack on our Vino Lingo segment defining the term “Brix”.
