Interview with a Visiting Winemaker - Jane Ferrari

AN INTERVIEW WITH JANE FERRARI
WINEMAKER, YALUMBA WINERY, AUSTRALIA
Winemakers from all over the world are in town this week, and while they enjoy socializing as much as the next fellow (or gal), this is an exceptionally hard working visit for most of them. All day long, plus most of the evenings, they are on stage to pour their wines while fielding endless questions from wine lovers at the Vancouver Playhouse International Wine Festival’s many seminars and winemaker’s dinners, not to mention the up to ten-deep lineups that adhere to the front of their tables during the general tasting sessions. Perhaps the most lively and popular of these annual visitors is Jane Ferrari from Australia’s Barossa Valley. Once a full time winemaker and now the travelling spokesperson for the Yalumba Winery, Ferrari, with her outgoing personality, and wry, if sometimes salty sense of humour, never fails to educate and entertain as she expounds on the wines she is so justifiably proud of.
