I have used this glass in this Video: RIEDEL Performance Bordeaux
I have tasted the following wines in this Video:

When I first came to Napa I knew that it stood for quality but I also thought of it as one singular style of wine but I soon realized that there are so many different expression of the different Terroirs of the region. The Growing conditions differ from South to North – West to East – Riverside to benchlands -Mountain vs. Valley. On top of that there is a huge diversity in personalities who make different stylistic choices. Some harvest late, others earlier, some use a lot of new oak other don’t, some reduce the yields a lot others a little. You could split them up into New School vs. Old School but today’s new school might work more like the old school wine makers in the past. The valley is formed by the Mayacamas Mountains to the west, which mark the border with Sonoma County, and the Vaca Range on the east.

In our last video in this series, we went all around Spain to check out all the different style of wines the country has to offer. Today, we’re starting our deeper dive into individual Spanish regions, so you get to know them by their first name and of course we’re beginning with the most famous of them all Rioja. We’ve all heard the name Rioja, but how many of you actually know what’s behind this illustrious name. We’ll keep it super simple and short here, although I’ll give you enough details and insights from a winemaker who’s actually worked in Spain (I have) so you really grasp well and remember the important facts and truly understand the wines. THIS is your essential guide to the wines from RIOJA.

The Pisoni Family helped put Santa Lucia Highlands on the California Wine Map. Jeff’s dad Gary was the first to plant the Pinot sticks in the ground back in the early 80’s establishing the region as one of the best for the grape to “do it’s thing”. Years later Jeff has assumed the winemaker role for the Pisoni family and he’s on hand in this episode to talk ‘Lucia Legacy’, what it was like to have a wine savant for a father, and all things in between.
