In this episode of the Vint Podcast, hosts Billy Galanko and Brady Weller welcome Larry Brooks, a veteran winemaker, author, and former professor. Larry provides listeners with a deep dive into the world of winemaking that goes beyond the bottle. His impressive winemaking career spans four decades, with notable tenures at Acacia, Tolosa, and as a consultant for many California wineries. Larry shares his fascinating journey from his early days at Acacia Winery to his ongoing passion for winemaking, particularly Chardonnay, which he considers the most challenging grape to master.

Larry also discusses his latest project, Liquid Geography, a Substack series where he shares his vast knowledge of wine tasting, winemaking, and vineyard management. He delves into the complexities of sensory evaluation, emphasizing the importance of aroma and flavor over structure in the tasting experience. Larry sheds light on the evolution of wine science and his take on "natural wine," offering a compelling argument for the benefits of using selected yeasts and modern winemaking techniques to craft wines that are both delicious and safe. The conversation also touches on Larry’s perspectives on climate change and its impact on viticulture.
