Nile Zacherle was once advised he needed to choose between making wine and brewing beer. Fortunately he didn't take that advice.Instead, he takes a winemaker's approach to producing an array of phenomenal beers under the Mad Fritz brand that he manages with his wife, Whitney Fisher.At the same time, Nile crafts gorgeous wines for David Arthur Vineyards, located in Napa's renowned Pritchard Hill area.We had a great time learning how Nile first fell in love with wine and beer at a young age and went on to work at wineries and breweries for many years after earning his degree at U.C. Davis. These included stints at Chateau Montelena and Barnett Vineyards.Recently, the Mad Fritz brand welcomed a new world of flavor by introducing single origin coffee.We get into all of it in an episode that we absolutely loved recording.For more on the beer, visit: MadFritz.comTo learn about David Arthur: DavidArthur.comCheck out Whitney Fisher's family winery: FisherVineyards.com
