Dennis with a Farmers Market Update

Thanks to a PR firm in New York I had the opportunity to speak with French winemaker/Asst. Technical Director, Matthieu Mangenot of the far-reaching Domaines Albert Bichot. We talk about the wines he's involved with and the regions he's worked for the company, from Chablis to Mâconnais-Beaujolais. You'll hear quite a bit about the Burgundy region and their winemaking techniques, even what to do when visiting Burgundy and Beaune, France. Enjoy the trip!

Host Jeff Davis talks with Marcia Torres Forno, Winemaker at Matanzas Creek. Marcia shares her background growing up in Chile and how she ended up in Sonoma County making wines at Matanzas Creek. Marcia says she looks for ways to capture the energy and vitality in her wines, closely observing ways to improve the vintage, whether it is in the vineyard, during harvest, or in the cellar. She also talks about the amount of teamwork it takes to make these wines from the Bennett Valley AVA. Book your next visit to Matanzas Creek to enjoy their beautiful grounds, including a gorgeous field of lavender, by going to matanzascreek.com
