Excellent Film on 2013 California Winemaking

[Mekpdue]

Hello all, while doodling away waiting for my summer wines to finish aging before bottling, I came across this movie on YouTube ("The World's Finest Winemakers") which follows a consultant winemaker as he makes wines for a few vineyards for California's 2013 vintage. The movie was released last year. It is, in my opinion, one of the best well-made documentaries out there on the overall process...not technical much (so don't look for ph levels/TA/troubleshooting techniques). But it is a good 'journey' film. My main takeaway, from here in Ohio, is while I thought I knew something about grape growing and making wine from your own land...I don't know as much as I thought.

I didn't see this posted anywhere else so enjoy.

A most excellent documentary certainly worth the viewing time! Thanks for posting.

An important take-away from the videos is "taste the wine". They taste the wine at every possible step.
