The Many Paths of Pinot: To Stem or Not to De-Stem with Luisa Ponzi

Pinot Noir is nicknamed the heartbreak grape—because there’s so much that can go wrong. Winemaker Luisa Ponzi joins us to talk about all the factors that go into making Pinot Noir, from the terroir to the winemaking. We hope this episode gives you a whole new appreciation for how much goes into making Pinot Noir and why Luisa says it can be either the most amazing glass of wine you ever had or the worst wine you have ever had.
