B.T.S. (Behind the Scenes) is a unique look behind the scenes at winemaking.
Drew regularly posts updates for Wine Club Members to view.
These videos are more raw, unedited, and less polished than our Winemaking Video Series. They give a great look at some of the hard work and attention to detail that takes place in the cellar and vineyard and what it takes to be a winemaker.
