I didn’t really like this episode. (one of the very few that didn’t float my boat) I like to think of wine as a natural, unadulterated product, but here we are shown the manipulation that can sometimes go on. Clones, blending – this is more of a science project than a wine tasting show. I’d rather not know about it and carry on in ignorant bliss! Also, I’m sure both the winemakers are very nice people but I’m always slightly cynical about ex-financial market people going into traditional businesses…and the guy’s voice annoys me. Sorry

  • Loved hearing about their decision making process on the many aspects of starting their new brand.
    I hope tomorrow they talk more about blending. I was looking forward to that.

    I went to School in Santa Barbara back in the 1980’s and even then there were vineyards in Santa mAria….I can’t imagine how the area looks now. If you have ever visited Lompoc you’d find it funny that a Dutch guy in a Hawaiian shirt and a Cowboy hat lives there…..

  • Facinating and extremely educational shows lately, loving the information and new appreciation for the whole process. Like the multiple part shows too; and opposite contrast from the flip cam quick versions.

    Nice show, and again, I’m loving that there are so many guests on the show lately. Also interesting to see some blending action, which is different.

    BTW, what’s the whole deal with people wanting to be in the top 10 comments, and not actually writing a comment in the process at that. Is there some hugely significant significance behind this that I’m not getting?
