World famous winemaker Jean-Charles Boisset talks about bubbles!!

Tom Gamble is a Napa Valley farmer with a family history of farming celebrating 100 years. Tom, easily recognizable in his classic cowboy hat, is all about the dirt. When it comes to wine, Tom gets to work with some mighty fine dirt. We visited Tom during Auction Napa Valley back in June so if you get a chance watch our Barrel Auction video on You Tube and see if you can pick out Tom.

The average wine lover usually doesn’t get a chance to look behind the scenes when it comes to
barrels and coopers. But for this program, we met with Phil Burton of Barrel Builders in Napa Valley. Barrel Builders has a long history of supplying barrels in Napa and we were lucky enough to spend a little time with Phil as well as his daughter Heather at their facility in Calistoga.

The beauty of a small winery is focus on quality with a hands on approach.  Susie Selby of Selby
Winery in Healdsburg knows all about that approach.  Susie is the owner, winemaker and head of sales for Selby Winery.  You can’t get much more hands on than that.  Susie was visiting Wisconsin, the home of Life Between the Vines and we managed to get a bit of her time to talk her personal wine journey.  Small is good!
