    Cyril Chappellet: Chappellet Winery

    Chappellet Winery is truly a historic staple in Napa Valley. In this episode of Wines That Matter, listeners are joined by Cyril Chappellet, who is the Chairman of the Board for Chappellet Winery.  Cyril, Kelli, and Sarah go deep into the history of the Chappellet vineyard as well as the early years of Napa Valley and St. Helena. For Cyril, family and wine have always been intimately connected, and listeners get to hear some wonderful stories and thought processes to how Chappellet puts out some of their world class wines. In addition to opening and tasting through some world class bottles, Cyril touches on the fires that have ravaged Napa Valley in the past, and how he’s leading the way in protecting the winemakers and natural habitat that surrounds them all.
