Fred Reno interviews Gabriele Rausse, who the New York Times calls the father of the modern-day Virginia wine industry. Rausse describes the early beginnings of what is a 44-year journey in wine making and propagating plants. He recounts how he came to Virginia to help the Zonin family establish Barboursville Vineyards and make a significant contribution to the growth and quality of Virginia wine production.
In this second and final segment of Fred Reno’s interview with Gabriele, they dig deeper into the reasons why Rausse left Jefferson Vineyard in 1995 and took the position of Director of the Grounds and Gardens at Monticello.
