The Good Stuff – Winemaker Erich Bradley
In this episode of The Good Stuff presented by the Sonoma County Winegrowers, hosts Virginie Boone and Karissa Kruse talk with Winemaker Erich Bradley. He shares his background, with a foundation in academics. Erich studied math and philosophy, and after some time in chilly Chicago, realized he needed to head back West. His parents bought a home and vineyard in Kenwood, and that is where he learned about winemaking. The timing was right to get lots of winemaking experience with some of the biggest names in the Sonoma Valley, including Arrowood Winery. The fruit grown on the hillsides and ridges drew his attention, and he grew to love what has now become the Moon Mountain District AVA. This show features a bonus segment all about that AVA. Erich makes wines for Repris Wines, Pangloss Cellars, and Texture Wines. And finally, Virginie and Karissa share their Tuesday Night wine picks.
