Winemaking Techniques featuring Dan Petroski

Episode 7 December 22, 2022 Winemaking Techniques featuring Dan Petroski Many consider Chardonnay “the winemaker’s grape” but how much does winemaking really affect the outcome? Our friend Dan Petroski of Massican joins us to discuss the many paths to Chardonnay. How does terroir, harvest and picking date impact the outcome? What is malolactic fermentation? Should all Chardonnay be oaked? What can you look for on a label to determine how the Chardonnay will taste? And Vanessa reveals a surprising truth about Chablis.
