His parents had restaurants and a wine shop, so he grew around the biz, and started fermenting anything and everything in college. That evolved into helping out at a family friends' winery in grad school, then realizing he could make wine himself.  He also slid slowly into natural winemaking, he says, “because I made the modern wines for years and realized that those wines don't hold up, don't interest me, don't taste, smell or feel like the wines I grew up on. All of the wines I like to drink and admire are made with little or no ‘winemaking’. Plus, for me it is important to achieve an aesthetic of natural beauty in everything I make, including wine.” He makes tiny lots (as in one barrel of each) of 6 or 7 different wines each vintage, mostly Chenin, but plays with a few oddball grapes like this Nebbiolo.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eWhile nobody would call Italian Nebbiolo light or fresh, in Craig’s hands it is.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAlmost translucent, with ethereal dusty rose and white pepper notes and barely -here tannins, this wine is elegant and splurge-worthy.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eLinger over it at the end of a boozy dinner party.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rock Juice Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50396408054117,"sku":"wyd1792014632100","price":20.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0883\/1457\/7253\/files\/2018-haarmeyer-nebbiolo_1.jpg?v=1792014638","url":"https:\/\/moderatorwear.shop\/products\/2018-haarmeyer-nebbiolo","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
