Tasting Notes

After some time away, it’s time to get back into the groove of things, which means a new podcast episode is dropping on Thursday! This week, I’m interviewing Jessica Cortell, the force behind many vineyards in the valley, who also runs her own wine label, Cortell Collection (@cortellcollection). Expect fascinating topics and, of course, a blind wine tasting. I have to say, I was blown away when Jessica took a big sniff of the wine. I’ve never had anyone accurately call out the grape, vineyard, and clone without even tasting the wine. You’ve got to see or hear it to believe it. I did everything I could to keep my composure. Are you curious about the connection between Audeant’s Chardonnay and Jessica Cortell? Seven Springs, one of the vineyards Jessica manages, is where this lovely Chardonnay originates. If you’re not already subscribed to the podcast via Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube, please take a few seconds to do so. It helps me out, and you’ll also get notified of new episodes as soon as they drop. 👇 👇 👇 👇 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 Would you like to get a Saturday morning email once a month to read with your coffee giving you insider tips on events, news, and an in-depth perspective on a winery?
