This was our second tour with Evan. And he is the Doctor of viniculture in this area. You cannot go wrong and you will have a wonderful tour with him. He knows all of the wine areas, the culture, the history and he has inroads into some of the best wine tastings ever. He is a Professor of wine and is considered by alot of winemakers in the area to be the most knowledgeable about the actual production of wine than anyone. We are always impressed with him but moreso after our tour with him today hearing the local winery owners talk about what a knowledgeable and wonderful wine master he truly is. We greatly enjoyed our second tour with Evan.
