Owner/Winemaker: Mitch McMinn

About: Vented Fermentation is made in Paso Robles, CA and was based on the idea that when filling or emptying a tank, the tank must be “vented” to prevent an explosion or implosion— similar to a juicebox. It also calls out the idea that one should be calm and collected in a cellar, while also remaining creatively open to new ideas.

What is your favorite undiscovered grape? Picpoul Blanc

What was your first experience with an undiscovered grape? Gewurztraminer was the first forgotten grape I tried, made by one of my favorite wineries, Union Sacre. I first experienced this grape varietal at Sans Liege under Xavier Arnaudin during my first harvest.

What do you love most about the undiscovered grapes? I really enjoy experiencing new and different flavor profiles of forgotten grapes.
