Wine, Food & Friends with Nicole Marchesi, Director of Winemaking at Far Niente and Dolce

I sat down with Nicole Marchesi, the Director of Winemaking at Far Niente, for a fantastic Wine, Food, and Friends conversation. We dove deep into the perspective, the stories, and the passion required to make great wine. And, of course, we talked a lot about Chardonnay, for which Far Niente is so well-known.
