In today's episode I have the pleasure of sitting down and talking with winemaker Jason Earnest.  Jason is one of the winemaker's for Vineyard 36, but winemaking wasn't always in the forefront of Jason's thoughts growing up.

Jason talks about how he got hooked to wine on a 1978 Chateau Palmer and I have to be honest with you, if my first experience with wine was with a 1978 Chateau Palmer I think I'd be hooked too!

You see, one of the things that Jason is known for is making big, California Cabernet's and in particular his appreciation for balance in wine when you consider things such as acidity, flavor profile, and what you get on the nose.

Jason talks about the inception of his first brand Tobacco Road Cellars and the relationship that brought about with Tim Gleason and Cam Ward, and their current partnership with V36.

Jason talks about winemaker Keith Emerson and the privilege it is to have Keith on board as Director of Winemaking for V36.

Jason also talks about an endorsement he received from social media icon Gary Vaynerchuk of Wine Library for his To Kalon Cabernet, and how that endorsement was a game changer for him in the wine industry.

Jason delivers on so many levels in this podcast that I know you are going to be blown away by all the info and all the knowledge you're about to receive from such a gracious and humble human being.  So, sit back, relax and get ready because you are going to love this episode.

Cheers
