Tom Rinaldi I had the privilege to sit down and talk with one of my professional heroes, one of the most requested winemakers for this podcast, Tom Rinaldi. After a long career including building the Duckhorn brand from the ground starting in 1978, Tom then went on to launch and direct the Provenance and Hewitt brands with the Chalone group. Tom is now retired from full-time work, but continues to consult on small winemaking projects in Napa and Washington state. Our conversation ranges from what Napa looked like four decades ago, to advice Tom gives for young winemakers. LINKS AND RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE Pellet Estate, Napa Ambassador Winery, Washington Duckhorn Vineyards, Napa Provenance Vineyards, Napa Hewitt Vineyard, Napa Freemark Abbey, Napa I'm hoping to put together an episode where I answer listener questions about grapegrowing and winemaking.
