On February 5, James interviewed Napa winemaker and consulting enologist Helen Keplinger on her project with Cristie Kerr, the professional golfer and vintner. Kerr Cellars makes a range of wines from well-structured sauvignon blancs and chardonnays to balanced and thoughtful pinot noirs and cabernet sauvignons. They use grapes from both Napa Valley and Sonoma County. Helen also discussed the excellence and complexity of the 2018 vintage as well as 2019 and a lot more. They tasted through a range of the new releases from Kerr.
Watch the video above for the full conversation and tasting. You can see all the wines we have tasted from Kerr this year below.
