Bob Steinhauer Interview July 2020

The winegrowing community lost one of the most influential viticulturists of the modern era on November 28, 2025 with the passing of Bob Steinhauer.  I recently rediscovered this unpublished interview with Bob from July 13, 2020 in which he discusses his early days in the Fresno area and his work with Andy Beckstoffer, Andre Tchelischeff, Myron Nightingale, Ed Sbragia and others throughout his long career.  I hope this will help us remember Bob and his many contributions to our industry
