Owner/Winemaker: Mitch McMinn

About: Vented Fermentation is made in Paso Robles, CA and was based on the idea that when filling or emptying a tank, the tank must be “vented” to prevent an explosion or implosion— similar to a juicebox. It also calls out the idea that one should be calm and collected in a cellar, while also remaining creatively open to new ideas.

What is your favorite forgotten grape? Picpoul Blanc

What was your first experience with a forgotten grape? Gewurztraminer was the first forgotten grape I tried, made by one of my favorite wineries, Union Sacre. I first experienced this grape varietal at Sans Liege under Xavier Arnaudin during my first harvest.

What do you love most about the forgotten grapes? I really enjoy experiencing new and different flavor profiles of forgotten grapes.
