Secrets of Red Winemaking for Home Winemakers, Hosted by Erich Bradley of Audelssa Estate Winery. "For home winemakers who believe that there is no reason why their wines cannot be as good or even better than many commercial wines on the market today!"

For the home winemaker who wants to take his product up a notch, this video presents a unique opportunity to ask Erich Bradley, one of the best young winemakers in the Sonoma Valley today, about the methods and secrets he uses to produce the award winning wines at Audelssa Estate Winery. From all of the important factors involved in "nailing the pick", to the advantages of the safe use of native yeasts, judicious uses of sulphur and racking, and the great opportunities inherent in blending to create beautiful balanced wines. Erich takes the viewer from harvest to bottle as he makes the Bordeaux and Rhone blends for Audelssa is known for. Originally a home winemaker himself, Erich is keenly aware that methods he uses at this boutique winery are entirely applicable and relevant to the production of superior wine at home. 57 minutes.
