Virtual Winemaker Roundtables: An Overview

While our winery estates were closed to visitors in 2020, we developed a virtual tasting series to bring an interactive tasting experience to our customers and members. Throughout 2020 and 2021, our winemaking team led an exploratory look into a variety of our single-vineyard bottlings. We’ve resumed these tastings in 2024. Re-live all of the action here!
