Cork Talk with Daniel Daou

Daniel Daou was born in Lebanon, brought up in France and now lives in the United States. After selling the software business he created with is brother in the late 1990s, he decided to follow his dream and become a winemaker in Paso Robles, California after scouring the world in search of the perfect spot. We chat about Cabernet Sauvignon, affordable luxuries, why grapes should be treated like food and about the missile attack that changed his life for after.
