Wine Road Episode 64 - Growing Between the Vines Hank Wetzel of Alexander Valley Vineyards is with the ladies on this episode. They dive into the Great Potato Harvest taking place on Hank’s family vineyard estate. Alexander Valley Vineyards 2017 Chardonnay is drank while further discussing the bountiful harvest, winemaking, caves and the Alexander Valley as a whole. Marcy has a Book and Item of the Day that are quite fitting for the day’s topic and we learn what to pair with asparagus.
