About this episode

Justin Ennis of Joseph Phelps Freestone Vineyards opens up about the international exchange tradition that's shaped winemaking for generations, where interns and foreign workers travel between wineries to trade techniques, equipment know-how, and cultural perspective. He reflects on starting in the cellar at 18 surrounded by people from completely different parts of the world, and how that experience reshaped his view of "Old World vs. New World" winemaking.
