The Wine Makers – Jenny Murphy, Oxlee Graham Wines
Jenny Murphy went to UC Davis to study forensics. While attending a job fair, she was lured into the wine business with visions of a laboratory filled with expensive, new equipment. She took a temporary position at Korbel Champagne and was bitten by the wine bug. After accepting a job at Paul Hobbs, she moved up the ranks, finally settling into the Director of Winemaking, where she was responsible for numerous 100pt wines. Jenny recently left Paul Hobbs and started her own label, Oxlee Graham, making precise Pinot Noir, Petit Verdot, and some very interesting whites. She is perhaps the most detail oriented winemaker we have ever met, her attention to the wine, barrels, tanks and even corks set her apart from the crowd. The wines are expressive and speak to the vineyard sites, from Mendocino to Santa Cruz. We can’t recommend these wines highly enough, they are very small production so move fast.

An episode that was a long time in the making. Cathy is my wine mentor and a great friend. I am a big fan of the modern wines coming out of South Africa.

She regularly lectures and judges wines internationally. For the last 20 years, Cathy has been involved with producing the fantastic Platter's Guide to the Wines of South Africa.

It’s something I didn’t ever see coming, but now that I’ve said it out loud, it feels inevitable and — honestly — something of a relief to admit. It’s one less thing to give a fuck about as I inch closer … Continue reading Unironically Rocking Out to Smash Mouth →
