Hello everyone, here is the newest episode – I really had fun talking with Charles Thomas of Quintessa – a super nice guy who’s been winemaker at top-notch places like Robert Mondavi, Rudd, Cardinale, and now Quintessa.
The Amateur Wino Episode 6: Quintessa winemaker Charles Thomas from Amateur Wino on Vimeo.
In episode 6 of The Amateur Wino, we sat down for a talk with Charles Thomas, winemaker at Quintessa. He tells us about two of his wines, Illumination sauvignon blanc, and Faust cabernet sauvignon. I also review the wines, share a few tips about when to choose half-bottles over full bottles, and pass along a few Father’s Day gift ideas.
Also, tune in to a future episode to see the rest of our talk with Charles Thomas, when we talk about his icon wine, Quintessa.
