Craig Isbel from Torbreck WineCaster

    • Essen

I had the chance to chat with Craig Isbel, the award-winnning winemaker from Torbreck during his visit to San Francisco.  It was great talking to Craig. He has a colorful background and a no-nonsense approach to wine making.  I was struck by how humble he was for man with multple 100-point wines.  After the interview we went out for a glass and the guy at the wine bar was arguing with Craig about whether a wine was bad.  Craig never once said "hey 22 yr old kid, I make wine for living" which I might have been tempted to do.  Instead he was totally cool.  Awesome guy and I hope you enjoy the interview.
