In Episode 74 of the Mr. Wine Guy Podcast I had the privilege of sitting down with Delia Viader, Owner and Vintner of Viader Vineyards and Winery out of the Howell Mountain AVA of Napa Valley, CA.
In this episode Delia shares her story growing up in Argentina and what it was like having a Diplomat for a father and all the ways her father inspired her over the years.
Speaking of her father, Delia shares the story of how Viader Winery started and how if it wasn't for her father, Viader Winery wouldn't even exist.
Delia goes on to stress how important family is to her and how closely her family has worked together at Viader over the years and what it was like to have her son Alan take over as Winemaker in 2006.
Delia also goes on to talk about the Arson Fire in October of 2005 in Vallejo, CA, how she lost her entire 2003 Vintage as a result but even more so, all the ways she was able to pivot and overcome that tragedy and how that made her that much better of a brand in the long-run.
Delia is a living legend in the wine industry and wildly regarded as one of the most respected and talented people to ever do it. Delia's personality and carisma shines through in this episode and it won't take you long to develop a deep amount of compassion and respect for everything she has done over the course of her career.
So sit back, relax, and get ready, because you are going to love this episode.
Cheers
