Gabriele Rausse Episode 2/part 1 Fine Wine Confidential Podcast
In Episode 2, part 1 of my interview with Gabriele Rausse, who NY Times has called the Father of the modern-day Virginia wine industry we talk about his early days during the establishment of Barboursville Vineyards and his subsequent departure in 1981. He touches on how he began the replanting of the original vineyard site at Monticello that Thomas Jefferson had planted in the late 1770's. He shares some humorous stories about the first 500 bottles of wine they produced and how they went without anyone trying them. Touches on his first encounter with a Distributor and how they didn't sell the wine. Much more. It you hit the i button below the Podcast you can get the full Episode notes. Stay tuned for the second segment of Episode 2 in the coming weeks.
