190. Chris Carpenter

Chris Carpenter is the head winemaker for several world-class Napa Valley wineries including Cardinale, Lakoya, Mt. Brave and La Jota. And during NorCal's "off-season" he plies his trade on the other side of the world at Hickinbotham Clarendon Vineyard in South Australia's Mclaren Vale. In short (cue "Karate Kid" soundtrack) he's the best around... and nothing's ever gonna keep him down! Also on the show, Duyen Ha, proprietor of Bondle Wines, and one of Dan's favorite sommeliers, Fahara Zamorano. Plus, find out what's driving Dan to drink lately (hint: it involves tipping).
