On The Wine Road -- Four Wineries of Lake County, CA
This episode is my full radio show from our recent trip to Lake County, Napa Valley's more peaceful neighbor to the north. You'll hear my conversations with Six Sigma Ranch, Hawk and Horse Vineyards, Steele Wines, and Shannon Ridge Family of Wines.
