James Hall Reclaims Patz & Hall. Meet The Winemaker Who Bought Back His Winery and Defied Big Wine, Ep 114

from Sip Sip Hooray Podcast · host Mary Babbitt and Mary Orlin

We love a good wine comeback story where the little guy wins!On today's show, a story that stopped the wine world in its tracks and made seemingly everyone cheer. It's a "Let's Hear It For The Little Guy" tale, a David versus Goliath story with a dreams do come true plot. We're talking with James Hall, founding winemaker of the illustrious Patz & Hall Winery California’s Sonoma County. He's the guy who pulled off the unimaginable when he bought back his winery from one of wine's biggest conglomerates. James is here today to share his story and his wines with us, and to catch us up on how things are going since the buyback more than a year ago.
