Nice to see an Argentinian winemaker as your guest this time. Being that the guest was Santiago Achaval is just icing. Love is natural terroir driven way of winemaking. Especially trying to use natural yeasts whenever possible. Would be awesome to see you do more episodes focused on natural winemaking like that. Vin jaune comes to mind, where they rely on the natural flor that develops on the wine to make one of the most unique styles of unfortified wines out there. Great episode Gary.
