Ep 130: CA Pinot with Jim Morris of MacPhail Family Wines

In this episode we talk with Jim Morris of MacPhail Family Wines. We discuss a lot of stuff with our old friend and one of the nicest guys in Sonoma. Topics range from:

• The CA wine industry and trends that we are less than excited about (yes, we name names!)
• The history of Sebastapol, Gravenstein apples, and the Barlow -- the latest hotspot in Sonoma where MacPhail's tasting lounge is located
• The world of Pinot-philes: Labeling, wagons, vineyards, and soils
• And most importantly -- Pinot styles and the differences from Oregon down to Santa Barbara

A great enrichment to previous CA podcasts and fun conversation with a great, smart guy!
