Hey! Look who I ran into in Temecula! My old friend Dr. Enrique Ferro. When I was was 18 years old, he was 38 and a great older mentor for me in my old Cucamonga days. Today he still consults for companies all over the world and enjoying the craft as if he were still 38 (he’s a bit older now....😉). Great to see you Dr. Ferro!🥂🥂 . . . .#oldfriendships #winemaker #allaboutwine🍷 #barrelsamples #colorsofwine #californialife #distinctionwines #experiencecalifornia #getoutandexplore #ig_wine #keepexploring #temeculavalley #temeculawine #temeculawines #lovewine🍷 #marknicholaswines #neverlookback #oldzinfandel #oldvinezinfandel #pnke #robertparkerwineadvocate #sipandswirl #techtalk #terroirlife #unlimitedcalifornia #wineeducation (at Maurice Car'rie Winery) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoDDNFih4OD/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=aklcs4rxthvg

Striking the balance between a properly balanced canopy and exposure of the fruit zone to the sun is the art and skill of a craftsman. Winemakers get fat too much credit without recognizing the absolute necessity of the vineyardist, who in this case is Cameron Mauritson of Dry Creek. Have a “Dry Creek Day!!🥂. . . .#barrelsamples #distinctionwines #lovewine🍷 #bestwineries #allaboutwine🍷 #colorsofwine #californialife #country_features #deliciouswine #distinctionmagazine #experiencecalifornia #experiencesonomavalley #fpog #getoutandexplore #heart_imprint #haveawineday #ig_wine #imaginecalifornia #neverlookback #oldzinfandel #plumgoodness #roséallday #robertparkerwineadvocate #sipandswirl #terroirlife #unlimitedcalifornia #visitcalifornia #wine🍷 #winemaker (at Dry Creek Valley)
