I grew up in Sonoma and Napa County. My father started working the fields when he was 16. Spent his entire life in the industry. Sad to see what happened to the industry here. No one is really interesting in the classic techniques anymore. It's all about quantity now. Doing things like post filtration and stuffing giant tanks with wood chips. Sulfites and pesticides are so commonplace. Now we are simply a place that sells two buck chuck. Too many people cutting corners. It all started in the 90s when wineries started getting bought out by large corporate conglomerates. I hope Napa, Sonoma, and Mendocino can experience a new renascence in sustainable practices.
This is one of the most succinct explanations of the winemaking process and the complex decisions that are made in order to make great products. Super approachable presentation - will be sharing with interested beginners for sure!
