直播结束之后，谷葡李志延巨匠特意抽空回覆了一些葡萄酒喜爱者们对于纳帕谷的红酒成果。如下为本次直播的天下萄酒全副精选成果：
1. 可能重大介绍下纳帕谷如今的酿酒趋势吗？
答：10-15年前，纳帕谷愈加重视葡萄酒的葡萄会集度以及浓郁度，酿造进去的酒顾巨匠精选葡萄酒展现出馥郁的成熟风韵。如今纳帕谷的问李问答酿酒师在酿酒历程中愈加重视失调。因此，志延直播人们开始更多地运用重力流法（取代水泵），纳帕加倍以及顺地解决葡萄果实，延迟浸皮光阴，而且更多地接管人造酿酒方式（好比不运用废品酵母、不运用削减剂来提炼葡萄酒的风韵以及色调等）。
李志延原文：Winemaking is shifting towards a more balanced approach compared to 10-15 years ago where focus was on concentration, intense extraction and ripe fruit flavors. Thus some of the trends in winemaking is to use more gravity flow (versus pumping), gentle handling of the fruit, less intense maceration and more natural winemaking (no packaged yeast, additives that extract flavor or color, etc).
2. 对于一个初到纳帕谷的葡萄酒喜爱者，有甚么特意值患上一去的酒庄么？
答：纳帕谷值患上去的酒庄良多，我总体最兴致的酒庄包罗作品一号酒庄（Opus One Winery）、蒙大维酒庄（Robert Mondavi Winery）、柏里欧酒庄（Beaulieu Vineyard）、鹦歌酒庄（Inglenook）、佳慕酒庄（Caymus Vineyards）、蒙特莱那酒庄（Chateau Montelena Winery）、科里森酒庄（Corison）、香桐酒庄（Domaine Chandon）、赫兹酒窖（Heitz Cellar）以及纽顿酒庄（Newton Vineyard）。
李志延原文：There are so many, but my favorites include Opus One, Mondavi, Beaulieu Vineyard, Inglenook, Caymus, Chateau Montelena, Corison, Chandon, Heitz, Newton.
3. 纳帕谷的葡萄酒为甚么宽泛价格较为高昂？此外，您是若何界说膜拜酒（Cult Wines）的？
答：纳帕谷价格高昂主若是因为这里的土地地价高，此外劳动力的老本也很高。尽管，这也是因为供求关连的影响——市场上纳帕谷低劣葡萄酒求过于供（美国贫夷易近阶层的需要量大）。膜拜酒是一种低级低劣、最受人们追捧的加州（Californian）葡萄酒。其产量少少，每一年产量仅为多少千箱，无心分甚至更少。
李志延原文：Napa is expensive because of the high cost of the land plus the expensive labor costs. Also it is supply and demand – supply is limited given the high demand from wealthy Americans for the best Napa wines. Cult wines are the super premium, most in demand Californian wines that are made in very small quantities, usually only several thousand cases per year or less.
4. 对于纳帕谷而言，2012以及2013年份都是重小年份，那末这两个年份纳帕谷所生产的葡萄酒有何异同点呢？
答：2012年份的纳帕谷葡萄酒口感更充实，质地更华丽；而2013年份则展现出更多的单宁特色，结构佳，需要更多光阴来绽开。两个年份都很棒，具备各自特意的气焰。
李志延原文：2012 is more generous, sumptuous in texture while 2013 is more tannic and structured and will need more time to open up. Both are fantastic vintages with 2 different personalities.
5. 纳帕谷红酒马拉松（Napa Valley Marathon）将在三月举行，您会退出吗？您有退出过哪些幽默的对于红酒的马拉松呢？
答：我想我不会退出三月的纳帕谷红酒马拉松，因为我并不擅短跑步。但我愿望可能去旁不雅这场赛事。
李志延原文：I will not take part in the Napa marathon and I hope to take part mostly as a voyeur since I am a terrible runner.
6. 您感应纳帕谷马拉松对于推广其葡萄酒是否有所辅助？若有，会表如今哪些方面？
答：马拉松排汇了更多的人去纳帕谷，让更多区别规范的游客齐聚一堂。此外，对于退出者来说，马拉松是亲自体验纳帕谷美景的一个好机缘，同时也可能鉴赏差此外纳帕谷酒庄。
李志延原文：The marathon brings people to Napa who may not normally visit so it expands the type and number of visitors. The marathon is also a good way to see how beautiful the landscape is in person and also visit many wineries at the same time.
7. 同样是赤霞珠（Cabernet Sauvignon），在酿酒工艺上，纳帕谷葡萄酒与波尔多（Bordeaux）的葡萄酒有甚么区别？
答：着实两地的酿酒工艺很相似。好比浸皮技术以及运用橡木桶熟化的方式简直相同——真正的区别在于混酿。波尔多的葡萄酒以混酿为主，而纳帕谷的葡萄酒较少接管混酿。
李志延原文：Winemaking techniques pretty much remain the same in both regions. The maceration techniques, the aging in barrel are pretty much identical – the difference comes in the blending. Bordeaux wines are always blended whereas Napa wines are only sometime blended with other varieties.
8. 我总体比照兴致带清晰花香的白葡萄酒，请示2014年石街酒庄长相思白葡萄酒（2014 Stonestreet Estate Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc）以及2014年菲玛修道院酒庄霞多丽白葡萄酒（2014 Freemark Abbey Winery Chardonnay）哪一款更适应我呢？
答：我会倡导你试验霞多丽——因为长相思更多地展现出木本气息而不是花香。尽管霞多丽也并非花香馥郁，但菲玛修道院酒庄霞多丽白葡萄酒带有蛊惑的桃子以及杏子气息，条理充实，十分鲜味。
李志延原文：I would suggest you try the Chardonnay – the Sauvignon Blanc is a bit herbaceous rather than floral and while the Chardonnay is not exactly floral, there are attractive peach and apricot notes on this wine to make it layered and delicious.
9. 与此外区域比照，纳帕谷的繁多种类赤霞珠葡萄酒有甚么魅力？
答：纳帕谷的繁多种类赤霞珠葡萄酒口感充实圆润，质地丝滑，单宁华丽，架构紧致。这样的葡萄酒在年轻时曾经蛊惑，同时还具备不错的陈年后劲。
李志延原文：Napa Cabs are generous, round, velvety in texture with sumptuous tannins and firm structure. This means the wines have aging potential as well as appeal as a young wine.
10. 您觉患上纳帕谷的仙粉黛（Zinfandel）及其葡萄酒若何？
答：纳帕谷种植着十分低劣的仙粉黛葡萄——在位于山坡的葡萄园中你会发现一些老藤仙粉黛。在纳帕谷，超过100多家酒庄都市运用仙粉黛酿造葡萄酒，我总体兴致的酒庄有蛙跃酒庄（Frog’s Leap）、戴利酒庄（Turley Wine Cellars）、黑骏马酒庄（Black Stallion Winery）、佳慕酒庄、蒙特莱那酒庄、菲玛修道院酒庄（Freemark Abbey Winery）、赫兹酒窖以及银朵酒庄（Silverado Vineyards）。
李志延原文：There are excellent Zinfandels in Napa – look for hillside plantings where old vine Zin can be found. Zinfandel is made throughout Napa by around 100 different producers. Some of my favorites include Frog’s Leap, Turley, Black Stallion, Caymus, Montelena, Freemark Abbey, Heitz, Silverado.
