I think it's terrific that he makes these amazing wines, but has no trace of "wine snob" -- he just seems like a great, down to earth person. I also have a new appreciation for the art of the winemaker, something I didn't know much about before.

Thanks for featuring Cliff Lede -- I look forward to traveling to some of the state's farms this summer and sampling those great wines.
