On The Wine Road Podcast

As the harvest season was looming I felt it was a good time to talk with a grape grower. I wanted to get answers to questions I was receiving from people about the weather. We had heavy and late rains well into spring, then occasional heat spikes began happening the past couple of months. Would that affect the grapes and vines? After meeting Gus Gamba recently Gamba Vineyards and Winery seemed like the place to visit. And what a story he has to tell about his old vine zinfandel and Italian heritage. My second interview is with the sommelier at Justin Vineyards and Winery in Paso Robles, CA. I sat with Jim Gerakaris a few years ago but it didn't make it onto a podcast. Not much has changed, including Justin's well respected reputation and wine. It's still a worthy interview. Jim is very good at explaining the brand and their philosophy. My Wine Uncorked feature exposes a little known fact about King Tut. Join us On The Wine Road.
