Last week I shared part one of my interview with Richie Allen, the talented VP of Winemaking and Viticulture at Rombauer Vineyards. We discussed the story of how Koerner and Joan Rombauer came to Napa Valley and established Rombauer Vineyards, made wine in their garage before the winery was built, and about what makes Rombauer such a special place for Richie. This week I am sharing part 2 of my interview with Richie. In this part of the interview we focus on Rombauer’s winemaking philosophy, why their wines are always sold out, and we talk in detail about some of their most popular wines, the Carneros Chardonnay, their wonderful lineup of Zinfandels made in the Sierra Foothills, and their award-winning Cabernet Sauvignons.

So, grab a glass of your favorite wine, it's time for Obsessed with Wine

I want to thank Richie Allen for dedicating so much time to this interview and giving us such great insight into what makes Rombauer wines so great! If you haven’t experienced some of the great Zinfandels or Cabernet Sauvignons, we talked about tonight, I encourage you to go to Rombauer.com or visit one of their beautiful tasting rooms. You better hurry though, the wine does sell out. As most of you know, I had the opportunity to work with Richie and the Rombauer team for harvest 2021 and it was awesome! If you love wine, I encourage you to try to get involved with a winery during harvest, it’s something you will never forget!

Finally, tonight, I want to encourage you to visit the all-new show website at www.obsessedwithwine.net for everything related to the show. Also, don’t forget to sign up for the Obsessed with Wine Newsletter.

Please join me next week for another new episode of Obsessed with Wine podcast, thank you for listening, cheers!
