Single-Vineyard Wine (at the Pebble Beach Golf Links): Taking time out from speaking at the Pebble Beach Food & Wine Festival, Mark Oldman discusses the meaning of “single-vineyard” wine and then, on the world-renowned links, pours a shining example of it.
“Single-vineyard wine is a term used in the wine industry referencing that the wine in the bottle comes from a single vineyard site. Which means this particular vineyard, and the grapes grown there, have been isolated from all other vineyards due to its superiority.” (Source)
