In Episode 38 of the Mr. Wine Guy Podcast I have the privilege of sitting down with Peter Heitz, Winemaker for Shypoke Estate and Turnbull, out of the Oakville AVA of Napa Valley.
To suggest that Peter has been involved in the wine industry for quite some time would be an understatement. In fact, Peter's family was some of Napa Valley's original pioneers, settling in the Valley as early as 1896.
With that being said, Peter shares the story of his family and their immigration from Alsace France, and the privilege it is to be a 4th generation winemaker raised in Carneros.
Peter talks about his time at Beringer Vineyards working alongside winemaking legend Ed Sbragia, and Peter's personal brand Shypoke Estate where he's had the privilege of making wines alongside his wife Meg since 1996.
Peter of course shares the story of Turnbull, the inspiration behind the brand by Architect William Turnbull Jr. in 1978, and what it means to make Extraordinary wines for Turnbull scored by Robert Parker of Wine Advovate.
This podcast is full of so many things that are sure to educate you on the impact Turnbull is making in the wine industry, but I think it's also appropriate to point out Peter's personality and charisma for doing what he loves each and every day, which will also make an incredible impact on you as well.
So sit back, relax, and get ready, because you are going to love this episode.
Cheers
