The Yeast Factor
In this episode, Dave and Ray deep dive into "yeast" and its importance in the winemaking process. To kick off the episode, they start with a glass of Cristom Pinot Gris from Willamette Valley. Following their glass of Pinot Gris, they begin their tasting with another Willamette Valley producer, White Rose Estate, where they taste (3) identical Pinot Noir wines - all made the same way - with the only difference being the type of yeast that was used in the winemaking process. Each bottle has a different yeast strain. Will they be able to smell and taste the difference? Does yeast truly play a crucial part in the winemaking process? Does using a specific yeast deliver a potentially different wine?
