Looking at the results of the wine style survey taken by the Vayniac Nation, and talking things over with Gary V, Stu catches up with Crushpad Winemaker Kian Tavakoli to figure out how to make the wine that that the Vayniacs want. The survey results showed that what was desired was a balanced wine with restrained oak influence. The one area where we're looking to bring the thunder is aromatics.
