Description: We're lucky to have Joe Fiola as our state viticulturist! Out at the UMD RECs and commercial vineyards around the state, he's conducting trials on a wide range of grape varieties. And once they're fermented, Joe finishes the wines in a range of styles to see how the grapes express themselves. He always call the wines his final "data!"
