00:16:28.000 - 00:16:45.440

some world class wineries. They really do make some great pinos, some great chardonnays. And we're going to take you on a tour of a few. Come on when you think winemaking, you don't instantly think Petaluma, but great wine is made here, isn't it? It is historically

00:16:45.450 - 00:17:01.110

it's a dairy region because the climate is so cool and it turns out that that type of climate is perfect for growing peanut noir and chardonnay. And that's what this region is really known for. And tell us about your your, your pinos. Are they bigger? They

00:17:01.120 - 00:17:16.710

robust are they? What kind of peanuts? Peanut wars that I'm making are much more elegant. Supple, sexy. Tell us about the estate here. Killer estate. What's different about how they make wines here and how you make wayne? Well, I think most importantly is the fact that

00:17:16.710 - 00:17:34.190

it is a state. We control all of our own vineyards. It's all here on this ranch, a 600 acre ranch and we can control the whole thing from the moment you get beyond the gates, you enter a completely different world when you describe to us or

00:17:34.190 - 00:17:51.620

suit your palate. That's darn good. All right. Uh let me talk to the winemaker. This is good stuff. Thank you. Well that would be you. That's it. That's it. You better tell us one more people discover when they come and visit you here. You know, I

00:18:21.280 - 00:18:33.960

think I think what I really enjoy is when the people come here and they have no idea where the wind comes from and it's enlightening to them too. Give them a little tour that the vineyard and kind of show them how the grapes are growing and

00:18:33.960 - 00:18:48.510

how they're processed and the whole procedure with the winemaking and what's the story of your vineyards here? How did it all begin for you? I always wanted to grow grapes and I wanted to grow them back when people said you couldn't grow grapes in this area

00:18:48.520 - 00:19:01.630

because it wasn't the climate wasn't right. But I took a chance back in 94 I think it was. And what do you say to those? You haven't been peddling it to taste wine? Got to get up here and try it. Can even try the newer area

00:19:01.640 - 00:19:16.950
