In Episode 43 of the Mr. Wine Guy Podcast I had the opportunity to sit down with Whitney Yates, Winemaker for Yates Family Vineyard out of the Mt. Veeder AVA of Napa Valley.
In this episode Whitney and I talk about her family's legacy through the years which dates back to 1950 making Yates Family Vineyard the oldest owned vineyard in Mt. Veeder for nearly 70 years now.
With that being said, Whitney talks about the history of the property, what it's like to be a "ghost winery," and her family's appreciation of place, being stewards of a land that's been handed down for decades.
Whitney talks about her father Mike Yates, his story in the wine industry, and what it's like to make wines along side him for a little over 15 years now.
Whitney also talks about what it's like to be a 2nd Generation Winemaker, a founding member of Vit Women, and also a member of Next Generation of Wine.
This epsiode is packed with so much history and a special sense of place that only Mt. Veeder can provide. With that being, this is an epsiode eximplifying a family who's hard work and charisma have been the single most important part to why they're as successful as they are today.
This is one of the things I know will resonate with you more than anything is how through hard work and committment, whatever YOU want to achieve in life can be done when you have the love and support of those that mean the most to you to back it up.
So sit back, relax, and get ready, because you are going to love this episode.
Cheers 🍷
