In today’s episode I have the pleasure of sitting down with Leigh Meyering, winemaker for Ideology Cellars out of the Oak Knoll District of Napa Valley.
Leigh talks about her biggest strength in this episode being her ability to balance both the technical and artistic parts of winemaking.
Leigh talks about her time as an Engineer prior to winemaking, from what she originally thought was a safe job. She would eventually leave that job and start her career in the wine industry working at the iconic Charles Krug winery.
Leigh talks about her time at UC Davis studying for her Masters degree in Enology.
Leigh talks about her times spent at MacRostie Winery Estate in the Russian River Valley, Chateau La Commanderie, Clos des Jacobins, both of St. E'milion, as well as Chateau Chevalier of Spring Mountain.
Leigh talks about her company myEnologist, a consultation service specializing in wine analysis and supplies. myEnologist offers panels of numbers of wine samples rather than just individual stats. They also provide a subscription service to clients to incentivize the importance of utilizing extended services, thus increasing client interaction, while reducing overall cost.
Leigh talks about being the winemaker for Ideology Cellars and the privilege it is to work for Bob and Joni Williamson.
Leigh also talks about the importance of family and her experience with her children in the wine industry as it relates to her everyday work.
There is so much more that you are going to get from this podcast and it was such a pleasure getting to sit down with Leigh and really hear about all the things that have inspired her and motivated her to get to where she is today.
So sit back, relax, and get ready, because you are going to love this episode.
Cheers
