Today is a very special day because I have the privilege of sitting down with one of the most legendary winemaker's of our time, Bob Foley, Owner, Proprietor, and Winemaker for Robert Foley Vineyards out of the Howell Mountain AVA of the Napa Valley.
In this episode Bob shares so much with us, one thing in particular being his biggest strength in his ability to know when to be patient as a winemaker, and also knowing when to make the right decisions that will count for him the most.
Bob talks about the 2018 Vintage, crediting so much of its success to its ripining season during the summer, no real heat spikes, and a fairly dry, cool climate overall. Bob suggests that this vintage is very comparable to the 2001 vintage or even better.
Bob of course talks about Robert Foley Vineyards and its 20 years of success, and also his Merlot's, and his ability to craft some of the finest Merlot's out of the Napa Valley.
Bob talks about Jim Pride, the privilege it was to have known Jim and all of the ways that Jim not only influenced him personally, but has made an impact on him over the course of his career.
Bob also talks about what it's like to be a musician in his own band, The Robert Foley Band, and how music has played such a big part in his life and really transformed him into the kind of person that he is today.
Bob Foley is truly an icon in the wine industry, but at the same time he's so much more than that. Bob has dedicated so much of his time and energy into doing everything he can to make an impact on so many people, which truly defines the kind of man he is.
I know for a fact you're going to get so much out of this episode and even more so sit back, relax, and get ready, because you are going to love this episode!
Cheers
