SignOn San Diego is finally making progress on its radio archive, so you can now begin to access my winemaker interviews from the Whitley on Wine radio show, which is aired live over the internet every Friday at 2 p.m.
The first archive posted is from last week’s show (Dec. 7) featuring winemaker James Hall of Patz & Hall. I’ve recently taken a shine to this Sonoma County-based Pinot Noir and Chardonnay specialist, largely because the current releases rock.
Hall gave me one of the secrets of Patz & Hall’s recent success, as well as background on many of the stellar vineyards that are in the P&H portfolio. My interview with Hall takes up the first three segments. He was followed by sommelier Jesse Rodriguez of the restaurant Addison, at the Grand Del Mar Hotel. Rodriguez had built an impressive cellar at Addison since leaving Thomas Keller’s famed French Laundry.
Additional archives from previous shows will be posted soon. Stay tuned!
