Rob Lorenz was going to be a sports journalist, but covering Atascadero high school sports as the writer, editor and photographer pushed him to slingin' juice, selling wine. A native of San Jose, he knows the way to Sonoma and how to find good wine. At Talisman wines we helps wine tasters find excellent wines ("all Pinot Noir, all the time") that show their pride of place, whether from the Russian River Valley, Sonoma Valley's Carneros region and even into Napa Valley.
In addition to discovering that we grew up near each other in the "old neighborhood" of Almaden in San Jose, Rob talks about an upcoming wine dinner that will feature nine different wines from three different vineyards. And he details the tasting experience at the Glen Ellen tasting room, which is near of the three stop signs in town.
As always he jumps in the hot seat to answer YOUR questions during "We Get Questions." This week he takes on:
What’s the weather like in December?
Is Glen Ellen a village, a hamlet, a townlet, or an outpost?
What is a vertical tasting?
Looking for a good place for a QUIET meal. We don’t like loud places.
