Want to know a dirty secret about the wine business?  It’s mostly about keeping things clean.  Sorry about that.  Anyway, if the three most important words in real estate are “location, location, location,” then the three most important words in winemaking are probably “sanitation, sanitation, sanitation.”  This not-so-glamorous but oh-so-necessary side of the business is often overlooked by the outside world, who may prefer to think of wine as an escape from daily drudgery as opposed to a cause of it.  This episode is dedicated to helping wineries improve their sanitation regime, from finding trouble spots to better ways of testing the efficacy of current practices.  Dr. Randy Worobo, food microbiologist and sanitation expert at Cornell University, joins us for this discussion.
