Wines To Find, Ep 117: Chappellet, A California Classic

Wines: 2019 Chappellet Signature Cabernet Sauvignon and Chappellet Las Piedras Winemaker's BlendGuest: Ry Richards, Associate Winemaker, ChappelletWe are joined by Chappellet's Associate Winemaker, Ry Richards as we taste two extraordinary wines from their portfolio. Listeners of WTF will know that one of Michelle's go-to wines is an easily accessible Mountain Cuveé - getting to try the winemaker's blend that is only available to club members (occasionally) or for on-property guests  was definitely a Wines To Find high point for us!!Having the opportunity to taste these two wines while talking with one of the winemakers made it even more special! Listen to learn of the specific blends of each of these wines, the growing conditions of the stellar 2019 growing and harvest season, and the Chappellet approach to winemaking. Head Winemaker, Phillip Titus (a California winemaking legend) has been with Chappellet since the 90's - Ry discusses with us the benefit of that experience and knowledge and how it allows for the consistent creation of classic wines representing the best of California wine country.This episode is must listen for enthusiasts of wines from Napa Valley and definitely stay tuned to the end when @wtfsoundguy jumps in with his own comments and questions (doesn't happen too often!).Buy us a Mimosa!Wines To Find Podcast,  Finalist in the 12th Annual TASTE AWARDS  in  four categories. -Best Drink or Beverage Program-Best New Series-Best Single Topic Series-Best Food or Drink PodcastWe have been listed in the Top 50 wine podcasts! https://blog.feedspot.com/wine_podcasts/==============Music from https://filmmusic.io "Night In Venice" by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com) License: CC BY (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) Thank you for making us part of your wine story.
