A Love Letter to California Wine: Exploring Terroir featuring Winemaker Helen Keplinger
Manage episode 474986335 series 2973613
Helen Keplinger is one of the most sought-after winemakers in Napa Valley, but she’s taking a break to take us on a California road trip with her Vermillion wine. Vermillion, sourced from the high-elevation Sierra Foothills to the sea-sprayed vineyards of Santa Barbara, captures the diverse terroirs that make this state so special, and we pop a bottle with Helen to identify how each component plays a unique role. She fills us in on why one of her secret, prized grape sources is like Wagyu beef and why Paso Robles might just be the most exciting region in wine. Plus, we reveal the one “can’t miss” event in Napa Valley that Helen’s been attending for over a decade—and how you can get in on the action as well!
