While walking along on our tour, we asked about a strange-looking device. "Oh, that's a reverse osmosis machine." I was a little stunned - as if I'd just walked into 'Area 51'. I'd have thought it would have been tucked away behind a false wall; yet, here this was, right out in the open. Eric Ryan, yes it was all refreshingly candid.

The nonsense with courtiers parallels my experience exactly. Nobody wants to touch your wine when you start. Then once you go around them, they're appalled that you work outside the system. And I'll second his sentiments about making good wine with a good philosophy and hard work in places outside the left bank! Also, great comment about transparency and secrets, after talking about the reverse osmosis machines. And then he talked about garage music! I love it. Groovy. Sgt. Pepper period. I need to meet Maltus. Great interview. The nonsense with courtiers parallels my experience exactly. Nobody wants to touch your wine when you start.

Obviously, we always try to get the best out of each of our interviewees. But it's especially gratifying when someone is both accommodating and forthright, as was Mr. Maltus during our visit.

The owner/winemaker gave a very candid view of making wine that competes with the best in the world. Your questions on his techniques, methods of acquiring vineyards and use of new technology were of particular interest to me. Summary- An excellent interview. I really liked this show.
