We focus on a LONG-TIME Santa Cruz business as we chat with John Bargetto, Director of Winemaking for Bargetto Winery, the oldest winery in Santa Cruz County.
This episode is a detailed look at the history of wine in California, told by a third-generation winemaker.
John talks about his family's history with wine (before and after prohibition) and some of the innovations his father brought to the winery back in the 1960s such as wine tasting and wine clubs.
We'll also learn about the 1976 "Judgement of Paris" - when a blind taste test favored California over competing French wines and changed the reputation and trajectory of California wines forever.
