Today I have the privilege of introducing to you a guy whose passion goes way beyond that of just being an amazing winemaker. Scott Young of Young Inglewood Vineyards is going to move and motivate you through sincerity, a genuine and compassionate heart, and a strong family commitment towards a mission that they know they're creating some of the most organic and sustainable wines throughout Napa Valley.
In this episode Scott talks about his upbringing, being surrounded by wine most of his life, and that inspiration and appreciation for wine that he viewed through his beautiful mother Jacky.
Scott talks about his earlier days in University studying Philosophy. He recalls his family considering selling their family business to pursue a dream in the wine industry. Scott talks about his family asking him if he'd be interested in joining them along this journey, recalling all the ways that wine motivated his family growing up, and was convinced that this was a great move for him as well.
Scott focuses heavily on the organic and sustainable approach to winemaking that him and his mother Jacky, also winemaker for Young Inglewood, approach each day. Not only that, but Scott had the privilege of being surrounded by these types of foods and lifestyle growing up, so it was a no-brainer to him that this was the way they were going to make their wines as well.
Scott talks a lot about his mother Jacky, and what it's like to make wine in an intimate, family run winery. He also talks about the appreciation he has for his mother, what she means to the winery, and also her appreciation for bio-dynamic farming and all the attention to detail that goes into making wine at Young Inglewood.
Scott talks about mentors in the wine industry and those that have inspired him along his journey, people like Steve Matthiasson, Joe Klein, and the amazingly talented winemaker herself, Jennifer Williams of Zeitgeist Cellars.
Scott also talks about the meaning behind the name Young Inglewood, representing a sense of place, and the meaning behind the label, representing all of the balance and harmony that goes into making wine.
Like I said before, Scott is going to move and motivate you through so many different channels in this episode. You're really going to get to hear from someone who's not only passionate about what he loves, but just as passionate about touching the community, working with his family, and creating extraordinary wines each and every year.
So sit back, relax, and get ready, because you are going to love this episode!
Cheers
