This week we had a chance to catch up with Robert Smith, winemaker at Quixote Winery in the Stags Leap District of Napa Valley. As you can imagine, he and the other winemakers around here are just a little busy these days, but Robert was kind enough to take a few moments to walk the vineyards with us and tell us what he looks for as he tastes the grapes, and when they will likely start picking Petite Sirah.
