@matthiassonwine (Matthiassons): @noblewines wish I tasted more 2 see trend, but evolution is ok if driven by passion, not market #sommchat

@vinogger (Melanie): #sommchat late today but finally made it back to learn something from the somms

@fabienlaine (Fabien Lainé): @matthiassonwine If you would not be in Napa ? Where would you choose to produce #wine on the planet ? #sommchat #winelover

@matthiassonwine (Matthiassons): @fabienlaine I love it here! Maybe Slovenia, beautiful, great wines, pace of life #sommchat

@noblewines (Christopher Miller): @matthiassonwine are these grapes from N Coast or S Coast? Seems likely to be Paso given the #rhone influence #sommchat

@matthiassonwine (Matthiassons): @noblewines the rhones for rose are Dunnigan Hills, Northern interior, all our other grapes are N coast #sommchat

@KeeperColl (Keeper Collection): Way to go #SommChat peeps, trending for third week in a row – thanks to all of you!

@drewbie_g (Drew Gøurdie): Both are great! @MarkHauler: @tmarshalljones Please don’t discuss Vinho Verde or Nero d’Avola – we need to keep these a secret. #sommchat

@enjoielife (Judia Black): Rosé! @matthiassonwine @fabienlaine @alawine grenache, mouvedre, syrah, counoise, whole cluster press, no saignee #sommchat

@fabienlaine (Fabien Lainé): @matthiassonwine I’m sure @WinesofSlovenia would be happy to hear this ! #Sommchat

@KeeperColl (Keeper Collection): Q. @matthiassonwine Steve, What changes have U seen in #winemaking in #Napa in the last 5 years? #SommChat

@matthiassonwine (Matthiassons): A. @keepercoll A bit more restraint coming back, drier wines, more structure, tiny beginning of pendulum swing #SommChat

@fabienlaine (Fabien Lainé): @enjoielife @matthiassonwine @alawine so a very refined, pure, mineral, fresh rosé as I love #Sommchat so many low level on the market…

@vinogger (Melanie): #sommchat @matthiassonwine I love #Napa wines but wonder if many have become priced so high as to prevent many from trying & enjoying them?

@matthiassonwine (Matthiassons): @fabienlaine new brands are back to focus on passion and personal loves, rather than market forces #sommchat

@KeeperColl (Keeper Collection): THX! RT @fabienlaine: @keepercoll Always an awesome pleasure to get great producers, #somm & #winelovers on #sommchat every Wed.! U rock

@fabienlaine (Fabien Lainé): @matthiassonwine @matthiassonwine How do you emphasize the futur and major changes in #Napa and #California #wine ? #sommchat

@WinesofSlovenia (Wines of Slovenia): @fabienlaine @matthiassonwine Hear, hear! Many thanks for your kind words about #Slovenia #SommChat

@noblewines (Christopher Miller): @matthiassonwine Cab Franc on Long Island is getting traction both market & producers Think same could happen in N Coast Ca? #sommchat

@matthiassonwine (Matthiassons): @noblewines Cab sauv is still King in CA, gets the best terroir, hard for CF to compete, LI emphasizes CF #sommchat

@KeeperColl (Keeper Collection): Q. @matthiassonwine Steve, Ur wife, Jill, plays a big role in UR biz & family? How do the two of you manage all of this? #SommChat

@matthiassonwine (Matthiassons): A. @KeeperColl Jill holds it together, business/family, hardcore CEO/farm wife, very much team approach #SommChat

@vinogger (Melanie): other than possibly delaying the harvest assuming growth do you think the drought will result in more concentrated flavors? #sommchat

@matthiassonwine (Matthiassons): @vinogger more concentration if the vines/fruit can make it through, too much stress=bitter/diluted #sommchat

@StephanieMiskew (Stephanie Miskew CSW): @matthiassonwine @keepercoll AMEN to that:) #SommChat #WW

@noblewines (Christopher Miller): RT @matthiassonwine: A bit more restraint coming back, drier wines, more structure, tiny beginning of pendulum swing #SommChat Gr8 News!
