Your Host - 

The Count of Vampire Vineyards

At some point, someone may have convinced you that wine was complicated. That it required the right vocabulary, the right knowledge, the right reverence. They were wrong. And I have had five hundred years to be certain of it.Vampire Vineyards has been making gold medal-winning wine since 1988 — not because we followed the rules, but because we ignored the ones that didn't matter and obsessed over the ones that did. The fruit. The winemaking. The experience in the glass.This series exists to share everything we have learned. No pretension. No forest floors. Just wine, explained honestly, by someone who has had rather a lot of time to figure it out.
