Napa Assistant Winemaker Opens Up - Mike Tracy
from On The Wine Road Podcast Hosted by Jeff Davis
It was a chance meeting at an industry party. It's common to meet people of various winery positions at these after hours gatherings. I've struck up the occasional friendship during one of these evenings, and that how I met Mike. He's a pleasant guy, smart, and when he told me which wineries he works with it raised my eyebrows. Not one, not two, but FOUR high-end Napa Valley wineries. That's what led to this interview. His boss (bosses)? Married winemaking couple Mark Porembski and Jennifer Williams Porembski. The three of them have an enviable business, and friend, relationship. What are the duties of an assistant winemaker? (Often they do as much or more hands-on work than the winemaker). Which esteemed wine brands do the three of them craft? Well, you'll just have to listen to discover the answer. And when this whole virus era settles down, I can't wait to try more of them with Mike. Press play to join us safely on the wine road.
