All in the Family
The Franscioni and Pisoni families join the Alban family for a lively and likely uncontrollable discussion of how when the clan unites around a single vision there is no ceiling. That's the only way I can explain the two Garys making parts of Salinas mentioned among the world's premier Pinot Noir regions, and John taking Bell Peppers out of the forefront of the Edna Valley and putting this area in the highest echelons of Rhone Varieties. The only thing more outlandish may be the families themselves. Join us!
