042: Robert Hunt, Anderson's Conn Valley

From experiments with co-fermentation, harvest timing, and shade v. sun-side canopies Robert Hunt has a contagious curiosity for the endless pursuit of refining his technical approaches to winemaking.  In 2016 Anderson's Conn Valley lost its founder, Gus Anderson, and thus I asked Robert to describe the founding of stories of the vineyard and subsequent winery.  Our conversation in this episode covers topics from estate winemaking and its gritty details, what a good winery lab job looks like, to the lessons of selective harvesting Robert learned from winemaking mentors.  Make sure to catch the final question where Robert discusses the fantasy wines he would love to make in Italy, as his travels and interest in Italian wines is impressive.     I'm hoping to put together an episode where I answer listener questions about grapegrowing and winemaking.  Please email what's on your mind   jim@insidewinemaking.com   LINKS AND RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE Anderson's Conn Valley Vineyards Colgin Cellars Clos Pegase Winery Pine Ridge Vineyards The Inside Winemaking Podcast on iTunes And Stitcher Radio Too Questions?  Comments?  Let me know what you think: jim@insidewinemaking.com
