On The Wine Road Podcast - Brewmaster Colin at Downtown Joe's in Napa

Brewmaster Colin at Downtown Joe's in Napa

06/20/16 • 18 min

In wine country they say it takes a lot of good beer to make great wine. So it should come as no surprise when I venture off the Wine Road to talk beer, especially when it's with a guy who's been at it as long as Colin Kaminski. I had one of his hand-crafted beers one late morning in May as we talked about Downtown Joe's, the history of that location and his tenure there.

Pat Paulsen - Comedian, Presidential Candidate, Winery Owner

If you remember Pat Paulsen's Presidential campaigns then you probably agree with me that this year would have been ideal to have him as a candidate. We could use his satirical commentary. I talk with his son Monty about his father's legacy and the wine they make at Pat Paulsen Vineyards. They're serious wines for fun times!

Four Wineries of Lake County, CA

This episode is my full radio show from our recent trip to Lake County, Napa Valley's more peaceful neighbor to the north. You'll hear my conversations with Six Sigma Ranch, Hawk and Horse Vineyards, Steele Wines, and Shannon Ridge Family of Wines. It's a rural area with many wineries near one another yet the region is quite spread out from Lower Clear Lake to Upper Lake. The warm days and cool nights lend to exceptional wines in the hands of the area's experienced wine makers. This episode may, and should, inspire you to visit.
