Wine Talk is is celebrating a birthday — it’s a 4-year old now — and the most recent subject, Gary Farrell’s Theres Heredia, is a winemaker you should get to know.

First, she pairs food and wine with aplomb (wait until you read her recommendation for lamb). Second, she knows her Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, and is making some great ones at the Sonoma winery. Finally, she admires the poetry of John Keats.

Read Heredia’s Wine Talk here, and take a look at some of the back catalogue by visiting the links below.
