t was 2015 when I last recorded a full length interview with our friend Robin Lail. Robin is a fourth generation vintner in Napa Valley with her wine family going back to the 1800’s. She has seen a multitude of changes in the Valley over the years but her goal remains the same, making the current vintage even better than the last. I always enjoy my time sitting and chatting with Robin. She is the very best of Napa Valley.

You can hear Robin on our Vino Lingo segment defining the term “Biodiversity”.
