Marbue Marke, winemaker and consultant, Napa Valley

Marbue Marke is a veteran of the California wine industry, particularly as a wine consultant in Napa Valley, where he lives. But his work has taken him all over, including to Pismo Beach on the Central Coast, where he is winemaker for Oceano Wines and vintner Rachel Martin, using fruit from the Spanish Springs Vineyard. Marbue spoke with guest host Justin Trabue about growing up in Freetown, Sierra Leone, his education in the wine and viticulture program at UC Davis, and having “a global heart.”
