While attending Sheldrake Point Vineyard's riesling vertical this past weekend, I used my new Flip video camera for the first time. I sat down with winemaker Dave Breeden, and the video will be posted shortly.

Among the topics we discussed:

Sheldrake's vertical featured semi-dry riesling, not dry riesling. Why? Which style does Dave prefer to lay down?
Are we, as a wine community, too concerned that a bottle will pass its mythical "peak?" How can you tell when peak is approaching?
How did the Sheldrake wines show?

Because this is my first vlog, I'm not certain how it will turn out, but we'll soon see.
