Hosted by Tim Mosher, Winemaker, School House Vineyard, St Helena, CA

School House Vineyard is a Napa Valley treasure, an historic, boutique winery that has produced vintages every year since the 1950’s, with a specialty in fine Pinot Noir. Native Iowan Tim Mosher came to Napa in 1981 to learn about wine, working the harvest and crush at the historic Beringer Brothers Winery. That experience turned into a remarkable career. Since 2016 Tim has overseen winemaking and production at School House Vineyard, high on Spring Mountain in St. Helena.

About the Wine Region – Wachau Valley

Brilliant architectural masterpieces and vine-strung hillsides on the Danube River have inspired artistic creations for hundreds of years. The Romantic Danube journeys through Germany, Austria, Slovakia and Hungary, so you can experience some of the most celebrated wines and sights in Europe’s heartland.

Over 3,700 acres of terraced vineyards rise from Austria’s illustrious Wachau Valley. Located between the towns of Melk and Krems, this cooler-climate wine region brings a wide variety of refreshing, peppery white-grape wines to fruition. Grüner Veltliner is considered to be the most important grape in Austria. Grown in loess soils by the river’s edge, these favored wines offer aromatic stone fruit flavors reminiscent of the terroir. Riesling, the second most popular grape, loves rocky inclines, so it is extensively sewn into the rich hillside. Fruity notes and floral scents surface from these unique whites.
