Wine Podcast: The Honest Pour With John Lenart

Charter Oak Winery is a gem of Napa Valley. Like many other wineries in the valley it began as a small family operation. While it's grown since its founding in the early 20th century by Italian immigrant Guido Ragghianti, Charter Oak is still family run, by Guido's grandson Robert Fanucci, who continues to use much of Guido's original equipment and techniques today. The tiny winery is located in a house, just off of Highway 29, at the end of Charter Oak Avenue, in St. Helena. It's a place I highly recommend you visit and get to know Robert, his world renown artist wife Layla, and their delicious wines.
