Mike chats again with his pal Kerry Shiels, winemaker at Cote Bonneville in Washington State. Kerry's family planted the DuBrul Vineyard - one of Washington's premiere vineyards 30 years ago this year. The two of them really geek out about things like soil, how the vines age (and what's behind the term "old vines"), micro-climates and more science stuff! They also sip a few delicious wines from Washington and Paso Robles. Find pictures of this encounter (recorded with the Zencastr program) on Mike's Instagram @tallmikewine.
