Scott Caraccioli and Sparkling Wine in Carmel - June 1, 2019

In Episode 62 of the Mr. Wine Guy Podcast I had the privilege of sitting down with Scott Caraccioli, Winemaker and Director of Operations for Caraccioli Cellars out of the Santa Lucia Highlands of Monterey, California. In this episode Scott talks about how it all began for Caraccioli Cellars back in 2006 and the privilege it was bringing on Michel Salgues, founding winemaker for Roederer Estate and arguably one of the best sparkling winemakers California has ever seen. Scott talks about the benefits of making wines in the Highlands and how the substantial amounts of winds and early sunlight allow the grapes to perfectly ripen and develop, creating the mouth watering acidity they're really known for. Scott goes on to talk about the Escolle Vineyard and how 100% of their fruit is planted to mostly Pinot Noir, as well as Chardonnay. Scott also talks about the moment that put Caraccioli Cellars on the map in 2014 when their 2007 Brut Cuvee won #1 amongst 650 entries and over 16 countries represented at a blind tasting event judged by Champagne Guru and Decanter extraordinaire Tom Stevenson! These are just a few of the things you'll get to hear in this podcast but I think the one thing you'll appreciate more than anything is Scott's willingness to focus on the right now and what he has to do each and every day to become better than he was the day before. Scott could easily sit back and brag and boast about all his accomplishments but he's just not that kind of guy which is what i beleivemakes him a cut above the rest. So sit back, relax, and get ready, because you are going to love this epsiode.
