Welcome to The Black Wine Guy Experience, the podcast where we discover some of the fascinating stories behind wines and the personalities behind them. In this episode, I sit down with Stephen Singer. Stephen has been a wine retailer and consultant. He is a restaurateur and was involved with Chez Panisse, Table 29, and César Stephen has been an importer of the finest olive oils. He is now a vintner passionate about delivering the finest representation of his vineyard in California.

Stephen Singer has a long history in food and wine. He traveled extensively throughout Europe and developed a love for Tuscan olive oil, which he started importing into Chez Panisse in the early '90s. From there, his interests evolved into wine, and his curiosity and passion have taken him on a journey to establishing his own winery Baker Lane Estate.

In this episode, Stephen shares how his love for artisan ingredients led him to create a connection with people through food. He also talks about his experiences with different wines he has tasted and the unique qualities of the soil and growing conditions that have made his winemaking in California a fascinating process.

We talk about how Stephen and his vineyard manager, Greg Adams, work together to empower the vine and the fruit to communicate the best flavors in their wines. They use different strategies for farming and managing the plants and the winemaking process. Stephen and Greg's collaboration makes winemaking so interesting for Stephen, allowing them to hit a new benchmark in their wine production.

Please tune in to this exciting episode for all this and more as Stephen Singer shares his passion and expertise in crafting wines representing the essence of his vineyard's terroir.
