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!

Mike chats with Dr. Elizabeth Smith...a conversation that had to be rerecorded, and rescheduled twice! Long story, listen to hear it all. Also hear about the travels of Dr. Smith from her Carolinas upbringing to the halls of accademia to the vineyards in California, and on to Croatia. It's quite a journey. Also Nikola Tesla and Dalmatians, and tasting notes on a handful of wines and more.

Back from and unplanned hiatus, Mike chats with his pal Alex, who works with vineyards in the Napa Valley. How's the 2024 vintage looking? Alex will tell us. Also tennis, the "last meal" before the Covid shutdown, the "songs of the summer" and notes on a couple of delicious wines as they swirl, sniff and sip. It's a fun chat!
