307. Rob Lloyd of Lloyd Cellars

Update: 2025-08-05

Description

This week on What We’re Drinking, Dan heads to the heart of Napa Valley for a sit-down with Rob Lloyd, the powerhouse winemaker behind Lloyd Cellars. Recorded on location among the vines, the conversation covers Rob’s journey from UC Davis to becoming one of the most respected names in California Chardonnay, his winemaking philosophy, and why he thinks wine should be fun, not fussy. Plus, Dan gets into a few bottles (purely for research purposes) and tries to convince Rob to launch a canned wine called “Lloyd Rage.” Spoiler: it doesn’t go well. (Spoiler #2: Just kidding.) Cheers to great stories, even better wine, and another unforgettable Napa adventure.
