Knee Deep in Sangiovese: The Real Story of Harvest (Encore)

It's the earliest harvest in almost 40 years, and we are hustling over here! In honor of this exciting time, I'm re-sharing and encore episode from Harvest 2024, where we brought the mics into the field to capture it — hand-picked Sangiovese, a grateful partnership with our grape growers, the Ramazzotti family, and the moment our crusher quit and I had to get in barefoot to save the day.

See more episode details and pics and video from behind the scenes here.
