Beautiful Bouchaine Vineyards in Napa Valley (photo by Dona Kopol-Bonick)

Bouchaine Vineyards inhabits the oldest continually operated winery in the Carneros wine region of California's Napa Valley. The planting of vines on the site by pioneer Boon Fly dates back to the mid-1800s.

Today, the family-owned winery is dedicated to the pursuit of delicious Pinot Noir and Chardonnay; the varietals best suited to the climate and soils of the estate’s lovely 100-acre vineyard. Besides being a venerable producer of some of America's finest estate wines, Bouchaine Vineyards is one of the country's most devoted adherents to principals of sustainable agriculture.

In a 6-part podcast interview, American Feast's Doug Ferber has a talk with Bouchaine's Lee Hodo to learn more about what sets Bouchaine apart.

That's Lee with the trusty red pickup.
