In this episode, Chad tells us his story of growing up in a grape-growing family and eventually starting Melville from the first plantings of their vineyard. We get into the viticulture behind the wines he grows, why he considers their wines to be made once the grapes are harvested, and how having control from vine to bottle helps to create an amazing product.
