26: Harvest Reality Check with Thomas Rivers Brown
Description
Napa Valley is in the thick of harvest 2024, the busiest time of year in wine country, and Napa Cabernet superstar Thomas Rivers Brown took a break to tell us about the realities of harvest season—hope you like cleaning!—as well as his “Ziploc baggy mini-maceration method” for deciding when a vineyard is ready to be picked.
Plus, Wine Spectator’s Dr. Vinny joins the program for a “sweet” harvest vocab check!
