St. Helena, CA heard us roar. This past Saturday, January 29 – we hosted our first Noble Rot event in Napa Valley. We begat the first installment of The Noble Rot Talks with a podcast recording. Three wine personalities – Hardy Wallace, Christina Turley and Heather Munden.
I’ll circle back with a post about my thoughts on this event however for now, you are invited to revel in the discussion and listen below. This was an exciting and truly engaging conversation, so if you’ve the time, listen to all sections! Especially the final where we challenge these our Napa friend’s experienced palates.
