Apprentice winemaker Joel Kampfe interviews Jim Milone, winemaker with Terra Savia. How to get pina colada flavors in chardonnay while keeping alcohol low. How to soften tannins in Petit Verdot through maceration (soaking after fermentation) without wine turning to vinegar.
Edward Wallo, Founder & Proprietor of Yorkville Cellars discusses his history of organic grape growing and winemaking in Yorkville Highlands, Mendocino County. Turns out what is old is new again.
Just got word from Jim Milone that not only is the 2005 vintage tough to find but his 2007 Petit Verdot is sold out (from the winery). New releases will be out in summer or fall, 2010.
