WINE WORK & PASSION EPISODE 29 - Zak Miller and TJ Evans - The Winemaking Team at Domaine Carneros

My very special guests today are both winemakers at the famed Domaine Carneros Winery in the Carneros AVA of Napa Valley. Zak Miller leads the Sparkling Wine team and TJ Evans is in charge of Pinot Noir production.

 

Their journeys into winemaking are quite different but mutually inspiring. They’ll share their wine stories and give us the inside scoop on what it takes to make iconic sparkling wine and world class Pinot Noir. And the best part is, they’ll tell you how to get your start toward following in their footsteps. So, if you have wondered what it takes for a wine to go from grape to glass, this episode will not disappoint. So, let’s meet Zak and TJ.
