Drinking Stories: The Role of Yeast in Winemaking


Written by Bill Swindell for The Press Democrat.

Bill Swindell’s new podcast, “Drinking Stories,” peels back the veneer of the wine, beer, spirits and cider industries.

In the first episode, Bill speaks with Kevin Sea of Santa Rosa Junior College about yeast, the Jan Brady of the fermentation process, and the important role it plays in making that sauvignon blanc taste like passion fruit.
