HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL FIND AT INSIDE WINEMAKING
Hey, I’m Jim Duane from the Inside Winemaking Podcast, which I built to be a resource for myself and anyone else to continue learning how to make great wine.
I learn best on my feet and from talking to other people. I studied winemaking at UCDavis, but sitting in a classroom was a slow and torturous way for me to learn. I got a MS degree, because I didn't feel like my student loans were quite big enough after undergrad. I am currently the winemaker at Seavey Vineyard in the Napa Valley.
You can read more about my background if you're at work killing time.
I use the podcast and you, the listeners (thank you), to leverage the best winemakers in the US to spend an hour discussing my questions about growing grapes and making wine. All the podcast episodes are available here on the website and all the usual podcast apps and players, including iTunes. Each episode also has a webpage of show notes with links to items discussed during that podcast.
I began the podcast in 2014 and have slowly built up an awesome group of listeners. I enjoy any feedback, so email me if you have a question or concern jim@insidewinemaking.com. In 2017 I came up with the idea for Deep Winemaking, which is a three-day technical immersion trip in Napa with myself and a small group in August.
The podcast has provided me with several opportunities. During the 2017 Deep Winemaking class I met my partners in Terratorium Wines and in 2021 we released our first wines for sale.
A fateful episode with guests from Naked Wines gave me the opportunity build my own brand of wines, J.M.Duane, which also launched in 2021
I'll even send it to you if you just email and ask.
Thanks for listening to the podcast and checking out my projects.
