Years ago, I fell in love with this Falanghina wine from Feudi di San Gregorio!! Wow as beautiful aromas come off the glass. Well, we get to visit this fantastic wine with Feudi di San Gregorio Winery Owner, Antonio Capaldo, on this week's Cork & Taylor Wine Podcast. Very interesting and fun interview talking Campania wine region and breaking down Italian Wine Varietals amongst other discussions.

I stumbled upon Stanton wines a few years back and I was very impressed with their quality for the price. Their winemaker was none other than Dave Phinney who crafted amazing Cabernet Sauvignon and Petite Sirah from Doug's finest vineyards in the Napa Valley. I tracked down Doug Stanton who joins us from the vineyard on this weeks Cork & Taylor Wine Podcast.

Our guest this episode of the Cork & Taylor Wine Podcast was born with a wineglass in his hand, and that is the truth you could say as Hugh was born in 1965, the same year that his parents, Jack and Jamie Davies, purchased the abandoned Schramsberg Estate in Calistoga. Hugh grew up among the vines, caves, tanks and barrels that make Schramsberg Vineyards what it is today: the premier producer of American sparkling wines. We had a great time sitting down talking wine with Hugh Davies and tasting the some Schramberg sparkling wines too.

Well, Venge will share this and so much more on this weeks Cork & Taylor Wine Podcast.

I am still amazed that this weeks guest on the Cork & Taylor Wine Podcast would even spend 1 hour with me since he is all over the place aka Pitbull would be calling him Mister Worldwide. Another great chat with Carlton McCoy who is doing great things. One of the youngest to ever gain Master Somm status at 28 years old, host of CNN's NOMAD where we giggle about skating on ice for the first time (I giggled being Canadian as we are born on ice) and we talk about hitting the Napa wine scene by storm as Lawrence Wine Estates acquires Heitz Cellars, Stony Hill and Burgess Wineries. Great chat about his journey with a side of laughs!

What does Beringer White Zinfandel and Luke Taylor have in common? One of the only White Zins I tried back in the day when I visited Beringer and it wasn't too bad plus no need to brush the sugar off your teeth after consuming. This week on the Cork & Taylor Wine Podcast, we got Ryan Rech, the chief winemaker of Beringer Vineyards. This Napa winery is old like really old and haven't had their wines in forever...they were yummy! Ryan has a really cool story and the wannabe Hulk Hogan (I gave him that title) talks a little health, weightlifting and his life in general! I almost forget we talked about the famed Knights Valley which Beringer is known for. Always a ball on the Cork & Taylor Wine Podcast!

Lucky number 13... Episode, we have the great fortune to sit down and talk some wine with renowned winemaker, Mike Trujillo, who has been in Napa for a very long time making some awesome wines. He takes us on his winemaking journey with some funny stories.

Michael Trujillo has long been associated with several of Napa Valley’s notable wineries –Karl Lawrence Cellars, KaDieM Cellars, Herb Lamb Vineyards, and Madrigal. As the former director of winemaking at Sequoia Grove, and consultant at Materra/Cunat Family Vineyards where he helped design of both state of the art winemaking facilities, Trujillo tends to skirt the spotlight, letting his wines speak for themselves. But with the emergence of his own label, Trujillo Wines, the Napa resident is finding it harder to duck the accolades.

A Colorado native, Trujillo first visited the Napa Valley during a college road trip in 1982, and never left. Formerly a student of architectural engineering, he became a student of winemaking. His teacher? The great André Tchelistcheff, who served as a consulting winemaker at Sequoia Grove where Trujillo first landed. “Andre had a way of allowing you see the wine in a living sense,” said Trujillo. “He was amazing. He refused to become carried away with trends and never chased a certain style. He instilled in me the style of wine that I make today.”

Long an astute purchaser of premium grapes (he was an early adapter of Beckstoffer To Kalon and Dr. Crane Vineyard fruit during his time as Owner Partner and Winemaker for Karl Lawrence where he made what became known as ‘the cult wine without the cult price’) Trujillo and his eponymous label focus on Cabernet Sauvignon blends made with grapes from the diverse terroirs of his favorite vineyards: Rutherford’s Gary Morisoli Vineyards, St. Helena’s Healy Vineyards, Herb Lamb Vineyards, and Henry Brothers Ranch on Howell Mountain.

“This wine is an accumulation and blend of the grapes I love,” said Trujillo.

“I strive to give my wines a true varietal expression with perfect balance while expressing attributes that reflect vintage and sense of place.” His first Trujillo vintage was 2011 with 450 cases; growth has been steady since.

Whenever he has what he believes to be an exceptional vintage he also creates a vineyard designate reserve – one, two, and three barrel lots that reflect the purest expression of vineyard and AVA pedigree.

Trujillo also makes a second companion label utilizing what he calls the ‘cuttings’ left over from his Trujillo blend. Named Madelyn after his daughter, the reasonably priced and approachable wine includes a bit more of Malbec and Merlot. “Madelyn wines are actually my way of keeping Trujillo Cabernet pure and consistent,” said Trujillo. “It provides me an avenue so that I don’t have to force everything into one blend.”

“This creation of high-end gems, middle, and lower tiered wines is fun,” says Trujillo. “I have a good time with my wines, and after 35 years in the business, it’s all coming together for me with Trujillo Wines – experience, relationships, consistency of quality. Wine is magical. I believe in wine and all it brings to life.”

We had the good fortune of sitting down with Bob Biale the namesake behind Robert Biale Vineyards in lovely Napa. We talked Zinfandel, Zinfandel and a little more about Zinfandel! We talked more than Zinfandel and he was a pleasure to spend some time with.

Perfecting the old California classics, Robert Biale Vineyards has become a revered standard of heritage Vineyard Zinfandel and Petite Sirah in Napa Valley. Napa natives, school chums, and winery Founders, Bob Biale and Dave Pramuk, cherish the tradition of historic old vines (some dating to the 1880s!) and prize the small quantity of concentrated and intense fruit that they produce. Diligent farming, expressive terroir, and superb elegance are the winery’s hallmarks. Among the winery’s portfolio of 20 wines that are crafted by winemaker Tres Goetting, Black Chicken Zinfandel is the flagship–and has become a benchmark for the varietal.

Chelsea Barrett grew up among winemakers. Her father, Bo, has been making wine at Chateau Montelena with his family since 1972. Her mother, Heidi, is considered one of the world’s best – she was the founding winemaker at Screaming Eagle, Dalla Valle, and her own brands La Sirena and Amuse Bouche, among others. Her grandfather Richard Peterson is also a renowned winemaker.

Hardworking, humble and driven to make award winning wines her way. Barrett is trailblazing her own path in the wine world and definitely one winemaker to keep your eye on.

I was really impressed with her and check out her wines at Materra out of Oak Knoll. Great wines and great people!
