I'll bet a bottle of wine you haven't heard a story about a successful pilot deciding after retirement to move his family to a rural area to raise his family who, without expectation or a plan, became a wine baron. In 1972, Napa Valley was a quieter agricultural area but just a few years later the region was thrust upon the world stage...and it's been growing ever since. And like many, the wine bug bite the former pilot, Koerner Rombauer. On today's podcast I talk with his son, K.R., and winemaker Richie Allen about their great success. You'll also learn of a surprising development that occurred just a week following the interview. I'll leave it at that.
