Aaron Pott

In today's episode, I have the privilege of sitting down with Aaron Pott, Owner, Proprietor, and Winemaker for Aaron and Claire Pott and Daughter's Wines out of the Mount Veeder AVA of Napa Valley. Aaron talks about his experience at Newton Vineyards in 1990, working as Assistant Winemaker alongside legendary winemaker John Kongsgaard, and at times sharing the presence of world-renowned Oenologist Michel Rolland during consultation visits. Aaron talks about his experience in France both as the Head Winemaker for Chateau Troplong-Mondot, and eventually the Director of Winemaking for Chateau La Tour Figeac. Aaron discusses the 90's being the era of right-bank bordeaux's, a time when technological improvements in winemaking and vineyards were on the rise, and the privilege it was to be making and learning about these wines every day. Aaron talks about Aaron and Claire Pott and Daughter's Wines, the variety of different wines produced under this label, and the privilege it is to be intrinsically focused on this brand, while having his family there with him during the day to day. Aaron also talks about how he's trying to bring Napa Valley back to its roots as a winemaker so to speak, and his love and passion for the way wines used to be. Whether consulting with big brands such as Blackbird Vineyards, Quixote Winery, and Seven Stones Winery just to name a few, or accepting Winemaker of the Year for Food and Wine Magazine in 2012, Aaron Pott has seemingly done it all with yet so much more to offer along his journey. I have no doubt that with everything you're going to learn today, combined with one of the most energetic and captivating personalities you're going to hear on this podcast, Aaron Pott will do more than just impress you with all his stories and all his wisdom as he educates you and inspires you on what has propelled him to the place he is today. So sit back relax, and get ready, because you are going to love this episode.
