Culture Club. Jeremy Leffert on the Effects of Climate, Culture and Respect in the Winemaking Process Beats Vines and Life

    • Food

MJ’s guest today is director of winemaking at Tooth & Nail Wine Company in Paso Robles, California, Jeremy Leffert. Jeremy has been the director of Tooth & Nail since 2015. Amor Fati, Stasis and Tooth & Nail wines are made under the guidance of Jeremy. He is an avid outdoorsman, specializing in mountaineering. A flat-picking guitarist since the age of 10, Jeremy lives in Templeton, CA, with his wife Melissa and their two dogs, Ernesto and Paco.
Born in California, raised in Minnesota, Jeremy’s upbringing was immersed in the great outdoors, spending summers canoeing, backpacking and mountaineering. His appreciation for the environment prepared him later for a career in cultivating the land to create award-winning wines. MJ and Jeremy discuss his transition from California to Vermont and back again, his time at Trader Joe’s where he first fell in love with wine; the difference between a farmer and a winemaker, some amazing times with the Hearst family in San Simeon and how the game changed in 2015, when he joined the Tooth & Nail family.
Pick a glass of your favorite Grenache or Syrah and let’s get into it.
A huge thank you to Jeremy Leffert!
