A funny thing happened west of Sacramento, The Varietal Show found itself in the Kingdom of Chenin Blanc with Craig Haarmeyer of Haarmeyer Wine Cellars: We got steeped in CA history, wine geography and saw some cool winery equipment. Then finish off your holiday off with a little Lodi Zinfandel!

Constant Disruptions on The Varietal Show!

Even in the days before distance learning there was still a thing known as Constant Disruptions, as the parents of winemaker Shane Finley can attest to. Ergo the name of his wine which we sample and discuss on this episode of The Varietal Show!
