The Inside Winemaking Podcast With Jim Duane

Pam Starr has been making the wines and building the Crocker and Starr brands since she first met with Charlie Crocker of the Crocker Estate in 1997.  This podcast covers the long story of how Pam built Crocker and Starr beginning from the handwritten business plan.  Associate Winemaker, Evyn Cameron discusses Crocker and Starr's portfolio, they ways how her and Pam evaluate Cabernet Franc fermentations, and some of the winery's cool new equipment.  Our conversation gets out into the weeds of Cabernet Franc, which is one of the varieties that Pam is most known for.  It was a ton of fun to have this Franc geek-fest and discuss a grape that doesn't often get the limelight.   LINKS AND RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE Crocker and Starr, Napa  Spottswoode Estate Vineyard and Winery, Napa Carrick Winery, Central Otago, New Zealand Cliff Lede Vineyards, Napa Seavey Vineyard, Napa Gemstone Vineyard, Napa The Inside Winemaking Podcast Questions?  Comments?  Let me know what you think: jim@insidewinemaking.com if
