Having tasted several of the wines from Livermore Valley I can not overstate just how very good they are! Pruett Farms sits right in the middle of Livermore and yet it is a farm like any other…except that Bob Pruett makes excellent wine. The tasting room is intimate and welcoming and having just had its informal opening the day before my visit. Bob is the smiling face of the label and I strongly suggest you check out these wines before the rest of the world discovers them.

You can also hear Bob on our Vino Lingo segment defining the term “Autolysis”.

From time to time it’s great to welcome a Napa Valley winery to the Life Between the Vines studio in Milwaukee. Today I’ll be chatting with Teresa D’Aurizio, Vice President of Sales & Marketing at ZD Wines in Napa Valley. Way back in 2014 I visited the winery and talked with family member Brett DeLeuze for podcast #69, so we were certainly overdue! While living in the city of Napa for 25 years Teresa agrees that wine, IS life.
