Wine Spectator’s Straight Talk
Napa Valley is in the thick of harvest 2024, the busiest time of year in wine country, and Napa Cabernet superstar Thomas Rivers Brown took a break to tell us about the realities of harvest season—hope you like cleaning!—as well as his “Ziploc baggy mini-maceration method” for deciding when a vineyard is ready to be picked.
Plus, Wine Spectator’s Dr. Vinny joins the program for a “sweet” harvest vocab check!
