ReMARKable Palate #199: Michael Richmond of Bouchaine Vineyards

I speak with Michael Richmond, winemaker for Bouchaine Vineyards in the Napa Carneros appelation. He led me through a barrel tasting of several of his Pinot Noir samples from the 2008 vintage, and we learned what different oaks and ages of oak barrels can do to the wine, and what drawing from different lots give him to work with. We also talk about Chardonnay, and Michael even manages to get me to give up my membership in the ABC club!
