Bill Wathen from Foxen takes us to the Tinaquaic Vineyard to show what dry farming is all about.
Most wineries in Santa Barbara have their vineyards accessible and the drive into the estates can be awe inspiring. But this drive to the vineyard is simply awesome. Hidden high in the back country of Foxen Canyon and part of the original Spanish land grant, this is without doubt the most peaceful vineyard yet. Bill is like a vine librarian, every plant has a story to tell and this month's video is no exception. What does Tinaquaic mean, and how do you pronounce it? What does the incredible dry farmed cab franc look like, why Bill doesn't do 2nd fermentation with the Wente clone and what are the difficulties of dry farming? Just a few of the subjects in this cerebral journey with one of the most influential winemakers in Santa Barbara County and one of California's finest vineyard managers.
For some reason everyone wants to know my interview techniques. As you'll see I don't have any, I am just interested in everything. I have seen and heard what has come before and every winemaker is as unique as his and her wines, so each video is equally unique. That's how I approach the subjects I need to cover.

We've also noticed some of you are having problems with Internet Explorer, try the Firefox web browser instead, download it for free here.

For all our other video interviews head on over to the Screening Room.
