Quench Live: New Cool + Old School: New wines + classic techniques w/Tank Garage Winery October 7 at 5:30pm PST / 8:30pm EST
Live from CIA at Copia, Napa Valley
Some wine families don’t just make great wine, they help write the history of an entire region.
Watch the full episode on YouTube!
Christopher Sawyer and I explore the leadership and legacy behind two of Sonoma County’s most important wine families: Hanzell Vineyards and Bacigalupi Vineyards. Two families, six wines, decades of Sonoma history in the glass.
Hanzell’s 1953 vines are believed to be the oldest continually producing Chardonnay and Pinot Noir vines in the Western Hemisphere (let that sink in), and Bacigalupi’s fruit helped make the Chardonnay that famously beat top white Burgundies at the 1976 Judgment of Paris. We are joined by Hanzell’s Head Winemaker Michael McNeill and Bacigalupi’s Nicole Bacigalupi Dericco, third-generation winegrower and Operations Manager, for their own take on the families’ stories.
