In this very special episode, Amanda is joined by some of the top vintners and winemakers in the world—from Spottswoode, Shafer, Frogs Leap, Gallica, and Duckhorn—at the Napa Valley Barrel Auction. You’re not going to want to miss their never-before-told stories on their ‘aha moments’ of clarity where something just clicks for them—when wine starts to feel different, more purposeful, more meaningful, more clear—and how those meaningful moments shaped their wine journey. Plus, we dive into why paying attention to yours can be the ultimate key to unlocking your inner savvy wine buyer.
