In this first episode I introduce myself, (Fred Reno) and what motivated me to create this Podcast.  I have included  brief audio excerpts from interviews in my next in my next 3 episodes.  First, with Gabriele Rausse, who the NY Times called the Father of the modern-day Virginia wine industry followed by Luca Paschina who succeeded Gabriele at Barboursville Vineyards in 1990.  The last excerpt is with Michael Shaps in which he recounts how he moved to France and knocked on the door at the Lycee Viticole de Beaune in Burgundy and gained admission into their school of Viticulture and Enology.
