#189 A Winemaker's Dream: New Zealand 2024 with Jeremy Tod from Giesen Wines

This week, I had the pleasure of chatting with Jeremy Tod, Chief
Winemaker at Giesen Wines, about the 2024 vintage in New Zealand.
With 22 vintages under his belt, Jeremy shares why 2024 was a
"Winemaker's Dream." From vineyard work to the unique challenges
of crafting both alcoholic and non-alcoholic wines, Jeremy gives
us an inside look at what made this year so special. If you're
curious about what goes into a standout vintage, you won't want
to miss this episode!
