Mike is currently vacationing in the Pacific Northwest, and his first stop was the Willamette Valley in Oregon, to see his old pal Rob Stuart. Rob was Mike's neighbor in Yakima Washington (back in the day). He eventually went to Oregon to make Pinot, and subsequently established his own label. It's a GREAT story!

Mike takes his microphone to work at Nicholson Ranch in Sonoma to capture the "behind the scenes" of a day during harvest season. He talks to the wine-making crew and to Deepak, the Big Boss about the 2024 vintage. He also talks about what's "in his glass". This episode is great with headphones on!
