Jordan Vineyard and Winery is an ivy-covered icon. It’s one of Sonoma County’s most stunning wineries, fashioned after a French chateau. It stands boldly yet gracefully among the sweeping lawn, beautifully manicured trees, and vineyards. Since the first vintage in 1976, Jordan wine has lived up to the elegance of the chateau.
Needless to say, it was a pleasure to spend time there interviewing CEO and family member John Jordan, and winemaker Rob Davis. We chatted for 2 hours, way more than I could squeeze into my one hour radio show at the time. Fortunately, a majority of the outtakes can be heard in this podcast. For you Napa wine history fans, you’ll love the stories Rob shares about “the Dean of California Winemakers,” André Tchelistcheff.
As you listen, you’ll understand the reasoning behind Wine Enthusiast Magazine choosing Jordan Vineyard and Winery as American Winery of the Year in 2014.
