The Tim Atkin Cork Talk Podcast

Cork Talk with Carole Meredith


Listen Later

Over a 22 year academic career at the University of California Davis, Carole Meredith changed the word of wine for ever. Using genetic markers and DNA fingerprinting, she helped to identify the parents of grapes such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, as well as solving the mystery of Zinfandel’s origins. Now retired, she spoke to me from the celebrated Mount Veeder vineyard that she owns with her husband, Steve Lagier.

To read more about Carole have a look at her website. You can also follow her on Instagram @lagiermeredith.

Don’t forget, Cork Talk is now available on Spotify. You can listen to this week’s episode, plus my back catalogue of interviews with some of the world’s most extraordinary wine figures.
