In Episode 7 of Beyond the Pour, I sit down with Henrik Poulsen, Danish-born owner and winemaker of Release Winery in Napa Valley.

With over two decades of experience, Henrik blends Old World finesse with New World creativity to craft exceptional wines. From his roots in fine wine retail in Denmark to apprenticeships in Bordeaux and now pioneering boutique winemaking in Napa, his journey is one of passion, persistence, and precision. Henrik shares insights on sustainable practices, wine philosophy, and how he turned his vision into reality at Release Winery.
