Kiepersol Texas Podcast - ep 2 with Marnelle Durrett Hosted by Michael Roth

Kiepersol Texas Podcast

Episode Topics: We talk about Barrel No. 33 - Red Wine Blend - Michael is taking in Texas, becoming a resident of Texas from California - Pierre's influence on challenging status quo in Marnelle's life built opportunity for her to make a great wine that could compete on the world market. - Leonetti Cellars Vineyard, the Figgins Family, hired Pierre's help in growing grapes. They provided Pierre with a bottle of wine from their bounty and he tasted it. This provided the motivation and benchmark for Marnelle to make a great wine that Pierre could approve of. - The first vintage of Barrel No 33 was bottled and given away as gifts, however, it set the standard for the style of wine to replicate. - Marnelle just recently drank a bottle of Duchman Family Winery Montepulciano, which can compete with any of the Italian wines. - If you are drinking Texas Wines, we would love to hear about it at [e-mail] or on our Facebook Page. - On behalf of every Texas Winery, we thank you for drinking Texas Wines! It is important to support our state and understand that our wines hold up with the rest of the world. - Michael presents an idea of a "Texas Wine Experience" where you get to come to stay at Kiepersol Bed & Breakfast, you then get to try a variety of the Best Texas Wines. Learn history about Texas wines and have a full-on experience in Tyler, Texas.
