James Lester - President & Winemaker, Wyncroft


Listen Later

We are joined in this episode by James Lester, the Founder, President, and Winemaker at Wyncroft Wines. Working alongside his wife Daun, James is directly involved in every aspect of this intentionally small winery nestled along the lakeshore in Pullman, Michigan.

The majority of this discussion revolved around Wyncroft's at times tumultuous history, as James recalls nearly losing his winery on at least one occasion. His story is a testament to the grit and determination it takes to make it in our industry.

We also delve into some of the tactics Wyncroft employs to produce among the most revered wines in the Midwest, and lay the foundation for future episodes around James' favorite grape - Pinot Noir.
