| 6/20/26 |  EPISODE #14 THE IMPORTANCE OF MAINTAINING BRAND RELEVANCE | Send us Fan Mail Episode #14 is focused on the principle and importance of maintaining brand relevance. In my case, this episode takes you into a Sonoma-Cutrer board meeting back in 1988, at which I proposed what was thought to be a radical idea at the time: to take Chardonnay off the front of the label, à la Burgundy, France, and put the vineyard name in its place. I had only been VP of Sales & Marketing at Sonoma-Cutrer and on the senior management team for less than 90 days at the time... | 6m 39s | ||||||

This new Podcast series will share insider information about what really happens behind the scenes in the Fine Wine business. Everything, from the up-close look at how marketing, sales, and pricing decisions are made to the sometimes crazy notions winery founders and owners have about who they are and why they have had success. I... | 3m 15s | ||||||
| 4/10/25 | EPISODE #21 PART 2 LUCIE MORTON ON NORTON VS CYNTHIANA | Send us Fan Mail Here is Part 2 of my in-depth interview with Lucie Morton where we continue to discuss the differences between Norton and Cynthiana grapes. We also cover her attempt to reclaim another Virginia native grape, Cunningham which one of her familial ancestors is connected to here in Virginia. Finally, Lucie will describe her proverbial Ah Ha moment when she decided that she would produce her upcoming documentary film titled "Odessey of Forbidden wines, exile and return... | 42m 08s | ||||||
| 3/12/25 | EPISODE #21 PART 1 LUCIE MORTON ON NORTON & CYNTHIANA | Send us Fan Mail Lucie Morton is the World's most preeminent Ampelographer, if not the only one still living that practices this art in the wine industry. I know, you are asking yourself what is Ampelography? Well, Lucie will explain that in some detail in this episode. In fact, this interview was filled with so many insights that I have chosen to break it up into 2 parts. In Part 1 we touch on many areas of winegrowing with a focus on American Heritage grapes and their demise and redis... | 36m 05s | ||||||
| 2/26/25 | EPISODE # 20 THE WINERY AT BULL RUN/KENDELL ANDERSON WINEMAKER | Send us Fan Mail It is safe to say that Kendell Anderson the featured winemaker in this Episode #20 started his career in the Wine Industry in a most unconventional way. He graduated from William & Mary with a degree in Kinesiology and Health Science, not the traditional degree you might associate a winemaker with. It was a girl friend of his that got him interested in wine when she began to take him to wineries mostly in Loudon County in the Northern section of Virginia. He would e... | 40m 50s | ||||||
| 2/4/25 | EPISODE #19 TOM PAYETTE | Send us Fan Mail Tom Payette is one of the veterans making wine here in Virginia. The upcoming 2025 harvest will mark Tom's 40th. While most of Tom's career has been in Virginia he has been involved some years ago on the west coast in California as a result of his position at Prince Michel. The then owner Jean Leducq owned a vineyard on Elhers Lane in Napa Valley. Tom has been recognized by numerous wine publications for his work including being named in 1999 as Winemaker of the Year by Viney... | 49m 40s | ||||||
| 12/31/24 | EPISODE #18 NOKESVILLE WINERY/DUSTIN MINER | Send us Fan Mail Dustin Minor and Nokesville Winery are a relatively new addition to the Norton scene in Virginia. His first full fledge vintage was 2021 when he made wine in the basement of his house after getting his winery license. Today he only produces a little over 1,000 cases of wine but from what I have tasted the quality is high and the future is bright for this new upcoming Vintner. Dustin started by planting several vines in his backyard in Nokesville because he thought they would... | 37m 51s | ||||||
| 11/27/24 | EPISODE #17 LEXINGTON VALLEY VINEYARD/RYAN HALE WINEMAKER,OWNER | Send us Fan Mail Lexington Valley Vineyard is a hidden gem in the Virginia lineup of wineries. I virtually got lost the first time I went to check it out. I had to keep checking my Navigation app to be sure I was headed in the correct direction. However, once I found it, I was impressed with the wines I purchased that day back in August of 2022, especially their Marchel Foch along with their Norton. This is a small family run operation that Ryan Hale the current winemaker father Cal planted ... | 39m 21s | ||||||
| 11/1/24 | EPISODE #16 SHEP ROUSE/ROCKBRIDGE VINEYARD | Send us Fan Mail I always enjoy sitting down with Shep Rouse and getting his viewpoint on winegrowing in Virginia and wine in general. He has been making wine for close to 45 years. First in California in the early '80s and then in Virginia first in 1986 at the old Montdomaine winery and then founding his own winery Rockbridge in 1992. Although Shep doesn't produce a Norton every vintage, mostly because he doesn't grow it in his vineyard the Norton wine, I have had from him in the past is a ... | 31m 22s | ||||||
| 10/9/24 | EPISODE # 15 BURNLEY VINEYARD/LEE REEDER OWNER & WINEMAKER | Send us Fan Mail Burnley Vineyard was first planted in 1977 making them one of the early winegrowing pioneers during the formative years when Virginia wine was just beginning to re-emerge after a long slumber from the years of Prohibition and its repeal. C. J. Reeder, Lee Reeder's father purchased the land in 1977 and Gabriele Rausse who had just begun to plant Barboursville Vineyard down the road from this property entire into a handshake deal with C. J. The arrangement was Burnley wo... | 32m 56s | ||||||
| 9/10/24 | EPISODE #14 ANNA WANT/CASANEL VINEYARDS & WINERY | Send us Fan Mail This is a fascinating interview because Anna Want, the General Manager and daughter of the founders openly embraces the idea that Casanel has both Norton and Cynthiana vines planted in their vineyard. There is beginning to be a more robust open debate about whether the Cynthiana grape vine is Norton under a different name, or a completely different species of grape vine. I personally, lean toward it is a different species based on the many bottles of Norton I have tasted and ... | 33m 48s | ||||||
| 8/27/24 | EPISODE # 13 ROB COX, PARADISE SPRINGS DIRECTOR OF WINEMAKING | Send us Fan Mail Rob Cox had a dream of being a professional baseball player early in his life and when that didn't pan out, he found himself in the business of Golf. Not the usual way in which a person becomes a winemaker, which eventually he did. Now almost twenty years later he guides the winemaking at both Paradise Springs Virginia winery and their wine making operation in Santa Barbara, California. Additionally, somehow, he also has a consulting practice in Virginia. A very busy m... | 32m 10s | ||||||
| 8/2/24 | EPISODE # 12 TODD KLIMAN/AUTHOR OF THE WILD VINE | Send us Fan Mail Todd Kliman, is a James Beard Award winning writer. After reading The Wild Vine you will know why. He has an incredible ability to bring to life the story of the Norton Grape and have you feel as if you just entered another world, you didn't even know existed. All the time going back into time and then bringing you back to the moment. He started out with the idea that he would write a column about Norton. But after meeting Jenni McCloud at Chrysalis Vineyards and spend... | 36m 42s | ||||||
