This is Part 2 of a discussion I had with Stu Smith as he reflects on entering their 50th year as Smith Madrone Winery in Napa Valley. You can tell from the trailer that Stu is immensely entertaining, intelligent, passionate about wine and certainly doesn’t hold back sharing what he thinks. We discuss the evolution of wine styles in Napa Valley, the effect of wine “ratings” on the entire wine world, the value and ethics learned from the great outdoors and much much more. You’re in for a real treat and I hope you enjoy.https://smithmadrone.com/https://www.instagram.com/smith_madrone/https://www.facebook.com/smithmadrone/

"The beauty of wine is that you can play in dirt as a farmer, you get to process the grapes and make the wine and bottle it, and then have it on the dining room table with your friends and family and therein lies the conversation that comes out of the dinner table that makes the world a better place for you and the harshness of the reality of the day gets washed away."  Stu Smith Listen and enjoy hearing Stu's stories of the old days and insight into how we've come from then to now.

Stu Smith of Smith Madrone: Storytelling & Reflecting on their 50th year in Napa Valley (Part 1)

Smith-Madrone is one of Napa Valley’s authentically artisanal wineries, founded in 1971 by Stuart Smith. Winemaking and grape-growing are handled entirely by the two brother-proprietors, Stuart and Charles Smith, iconoclasts known for their staunch adherence to dry farming on their mountain vineyard. Stu’s son Sam Smith is the winery’s Assistant Winemaker. All of Smith-Madrone’s wines come from the 38 acres of estate vineyards surrounding the winery, planted 48 years ago by Stuart and Charles. The vineyards extend across steep mountainsides, at elevations between 1,300 and 1,900 feet, on slopes angling up to 34% at the top of the Spring Mountain District appellation in the Napa Valley. Total production each year is less than 4,000 cases.
