It's been more than a month since we've heard from Andre but he's back ... sort of ... Michael catches up with him while he is still in Chile to discuss what the heck he has been up to there.

Michael and Andre revisit the topic of changes to the VQA for one specific purpose - to taste a non-vintage, multi-vintage blend ... but then they also go on a "tangerine" ... and while you will hear Andre's voice in this podcast it's because we recorded this one late in 2018. He's coming back ... or so he says.

One more time ... Andre is still away so Michael fills the chair this week with the accomplished and very busy winemaker Kelly Mason, who plies her trade with 3 wineries and has her own vineyard ... how she found the time to sit and chat we don't know but we're glad she did.
