Horsing Around With Tamber Bey On THE VARIETAL SHOW

It is not often that wine pairs with horses, but at Tamber Bey it does! THE VARIETAL SHOW visits Barry Waitte at his winery, and we reminisce about the history of farming and orchards in Calistoga, the northernmost region of Napa Valley. We talk about his love of horses, while tasting his Chardonnay Sans Chêne, Pinot Noir Mes Filles Vineyard, and Cabernet Sauvignon Deux Chevaux Vineyard.
