Ep 593: Savannah Mills, Winemaker at Brick House Vineyards, Winery Fingerprint Series
Interpreting Wine PodcastShow Notes
If you work at a winery, a producer group or region, register for book updates and be the first to hear about live events at www.interpretingwine.com/wf2026 Brick House should be a familiar name, not just because of their stellar wines, but because Brick House founder Doug Tunnell is a two-time Interpreting Wine guest. With Savannah having now taken the reins of the operation there is naturally a period of adaptation. A fascinating time to reflect on what made the brand so successful in the first place and what it aspires to be going forward. I really love what we discovered together in this episode and how the Winery Fingerprint model accurately and meaningfully captures their story.
