But it all started with a bottle of Oregon Pinot Noir …Winkler represents a new breed of California wine pros specializing not just in winemaking or vineyard management, but in both, and she tells us why winemakers should be in the vineyard, and much more. Wine Spectator senior editor for news Mitch Frank joins us as well, with news of some recent major wine thefts from two of Europe's most esteemed restaurant wine cellars.And don't forget, there's always more free content at WineSpectator.com!• Video: Watch James' vineyard walk with Natalie• Read more about Salvestrin winery and Dr. Crane Vineyard• Wine Crime: Read more about thefts at La Tour d'Argent and El Atrio• The 15 Most Expensive Wines Ever Sold• Wine Spectator's May 31, 2024, issue• Latest News and Headlines• Ask Dr. Vinny• Sign up for Wine Spectator's free email newslettersA podcast from Wine SpectatorMarvin R.
