GrapeRadio – Dave Del Dotto Vineyards – Video 6
Grape Radio – Join us in the Napa Valley as we follow Dave Del Dotto through his nearly 150 year-old candle-lit cave. Along the way, Dave discusses everything from ancient wine history, religion and wine, fermenting in a clay vessel, how wines affect your body, the effects of sulfites in wine, wine as a natural anti-biotic and disinfectant, to how Cabernet Franc is the real Cabernet. And what about oak as a spice rack, its toast levels, selecting bottling by barrel type? Dave probably uses more different oak varieties than anyone, and you can actually order your own final blend of wine based on this tasting tour. Of course, along the way we have to stop and barrel sample many wines…no, make that many, many wines! More Info at: www.graperadio.com

Dave lives in that cave because so many former real estate students are after his hide.
@friendofbillbob The American People have always loved scammers more than substance.
@papabear8502 If he was in bankruptcy,
how does he own a vineyard?
who said anything about resentment? and i’m ‘hurting’ because the guy produced horrible real estate informercials? uh….no.
Your resentment is pointless. He is doing well. Whatever grievance you have for him, try to release yourself from it. Only you are hurting.
Charming guy. Glad to see he is doing well and still prospering!
I don’t really like wine, but I always liked listening to Dave Del Dotto. His line is positive-minded. Yeah, the exact details of the real estate market were that what goes up can always come down after a “bubble” period; he probably learned that lesson like the rest of us. I am grateful for youtube, otherwise I thought I’d never be able to listen to him, again. His example: a person, like a company, can learn from, and recover after, the trauma of bankruptcy!
Despite the ancient past several like to keep bringing up, Dave is a nice guy; the wines are some of the best I’ve had. His winemaker is equally charming and well-knowledged. Tour of the caves, generous samples of his amazing wines and meeting his happy staff is well worth the price/time. We’ve made this a once a month adventure. So those that wish to bad mouth someone for what occurred a LONG time ago, fine, stay home – more wine for me. Besides, you’ll only sour the grapes!
Sure, Dave Del Dotto’s real estate courses were great…so great in fact that he ended up getting sued by dozens of state attorney generals across the country for fraud and he ended up filing for bankruptcy..
And now he is a “wine connoisseur”..good Lord
I have to say Dave’s real estate course was great! There was allot of useful info, “Creative Financing, 101 Purchase Offers Sellers Can’t Resist” was excellent. I was able to purchase my first home in 1992, a log home on 20 acres in Montana, with no credit and no job, I was going to school at that time at, MSU. Since that time I have purchased many real estate courses included Carlton Sheets. I think all the Guru’s probably got there info from “Dave”. Thanks, Dave!
I didn’t know about the dark corners of REAL ESTATE history. If Dave del Dotto really did bad things then I apologize. One may dislike the man, but as videos go this was still amusing (sorry). I was only twelve in 1989 so FORGIVE ME PLEASE for not knowing he was a *nasty-nasty-bad-bad man* Toasts to You All!
wonder why he doesn’t have john davidson singing in this video like he had him singing on those terrible real estate ‘infomercials.’
This sucks………….
Good for him, hopefully he doesn’t sucker people into his vineyards like he did with his real estate….
Yes, it was him; eventually, he got back on his feet and started a new life making wines.
Repentance, O papabear, from the heart cancels all sins…then even sainthood is a realistic prospect. Dave del Dotto (be that his name?) is the saint of GrapeRadio wine videos! Hail thrice his enthusiazing atmospherics!
This was the same sheister that hocked Real Estate with no money down back in the 1980’s and ended up getting sued by several States and eventually went into bankruptcy….
Hope you enjoy the other videos as much as these. We will load up some more videos soon. You can see them now at graperadio’s web site.
I thank you for this video! Highly amusing and (lightly) educational. Forget all the tweaks of the latest techno wine wizards (sell-outs?): go for the real methods: THE BARREL, and HUMAN (not computer) DISCRETION. I watched this three times! Thanks for the wonderful atmosphere and warm tour!
