Katarina Bonde - the Swedish winemaker who brought American wine to the Nobel Prize banquet
The all-American road trip led me to the many wineries of Sonoma Valley, where I met up with Swedish-born Katarina Bonde at West Wines, the vineyard she founded with her husband almost twenty years ago.
We talked about stepping into the winemaking industry without really knowing what to expect, about how grapes teach you patience, and about what it was like to have the first American wine selected for the Nobel Prize banquet.
- And what is it about this ancient beverage that makes it so special?
Listen to her story on what to expect when buying a small vineyard - years in the waiting, years in the making - and if there's a Swedish way of growing grapes.
