On the Wine Road LIVE – Amista Vineyards

onthewineroadlivejeffdavisksro

Host Jeff Davis talks with guests from Amista Vineyards: Vicki Farrow, co-founder and CEO, and Ashley Herzberg, Winemaker. Vicky shares the history of the winery she owns with her husband, and their first forays into winemaking (it involves a barrel that shipped across the country to New Jersey!) as well as their beautiful vineyard in Dry Creek Valley.

Ashley shares her background in chemical engineering and how it has helped inform her role as winemaker. Be sure to check out the line of Amista sparkling wines next time you visit the barn for a tasting!

On the Wine Road LIVE is produced in studio by Michelle Marques. This episode is sponsored by American AgCredit.

 

Ace Cider Sale & Holiday Wines

onthewineroad

A few weeks ago I heard Sonoma County based Ace Premium Craft Cider was acquired by Vintage Wine Estates. It came as a slight surprise. I couldn't resist getting the details and reasons for the sale, so I hooked up with, now former owner, Jeffrey House in the Ace In The Hole Pub. As I expected, he was quite forthcoming.

Then you'll hear about some holiday wine gift sets that will make it easy to order and receive all the wines you'll need for the coming weeks. Jackson Family Wines' Wines Education Manager, Ben Fine joined me to provide quite an explanation of the wines that are included in the gift sets.

Happy Holiday Season!
