Petit Verdot isn't the most glamorous of Bordeaux varietal and often is used in small quantities, but it packs a punch and, as you'll hear, is an important part of the "spice cabinet" for winemakers when they're making wine from Bordeaux grapes.

This interview features two different perspectives from Truchard Vineyards - at the same time! We're joined by both Anthony Truchard II, the General Manager of the company, and Sal De Ianni, the winemaker. We're happy to say that Anthony and Sal are friends of ours, and it was such a pleasure to wrap up our interviews with these two fine gentlemen. They're fun to talk to, and we think fun to listen to. We hope you enjoy their perspective on Petit Verdot, winemaking, Napa Valley, and lots more!
