Ever wondered how a twist in weather patterns can turn the winemaking world upside down? Brandon Moss from Gramercy Cellars uncorks the truth behind this season's eccentric climate and its impact on the vines. From the intimate decision-making of pruning frostbitten branches to the organic symphony of native fermentations, our discussion is a treasure trove of the delicate dance between nature and nurture in viticulture. We celebrate the trailblazers of Washington Syrah and dissect the philosophies that shape Gramercy's elegant wines, revealing how every bottle captures the essence of its earthly roots.
Pour a glass and join me as I reminisce about my winemaking odyssey that led me back to the Walla Walla Valley, where the art of wine seems almost destined. From early days on the family farm to Oregon's lush vineyards, I've been seduced by the alchemy of turning grapes into liquid narratives. The episode is steeped in tales of inspiration drawn from the Northern Rhone, Bordeaux blends, and the winemakers who craft them. As we explore these influences, you'll appreciate the meticulous pursuit of balance, the ongoing quest for knowledge, and the shared dream of bringing exquisite wines to tables across the globe.
Our conversation wanders through the Pacific Northwest's rich tapestry of wine and culinary delights, pausing to reflect on the bittersweet closure of local dining icons. You'll be charmed by anecdotes of the region's welcoming wine community and the lively banter awaiting in every bar. This episode offers a full-bodied experience, from the vine to the glass, seasoned with laughter and a hint of nostalgia. So, raise your glass to the stories and people that ferment the vibrant culture of Pacific Northwest wine. Cheers!
