Sixty years before "drink less, but better" became an industry mantra, one man in Tuscany was already living it. His grandson has spent his whole career proving him right. In this episode, Pierre sits down with Giovanni Folonari, of Ambrogio e Giovanni Folonari Tenute, the family behind four distinct Tuscan estates built on a single conviction: that quality can't be rented, it has to be owned. The conversation moves through Nozzole, the Chianti Classico estate where clay soil and history run deep; Tenute del Cabreo, the Supertuscan project that dared to plant Cabernet, Merlot, Chardonnay and even Pinot Noir on Sangiovese ground; Campo al Mare, the family's late but decisive bet on Bolgheri; and Tenuta La Fuga, the smallest estate in the portfolio and home to a Brunello Riserva named for two sisters. Along the way, Giovanni talks candidly about the family decision to walk away from an easier, more recognisable business, what it actually takes to grow Pinot Noir outside Burgundy, and why hospitality became part of the estate's identity long before the rest of the wine world caught on. Want more? A bonus episode, going deeper into the family's history, the technical side of the cellar, and a side of Giovanni that has nothing to do with wine at all, is available exclusively at readbetweenthewines.com. Featuring: Chianti Classico, Supertuscan, Bolgheri, Brunello di Montalcino, Tuscany, Sangiovese, family winery, Italian fine wine, terroir, wine and hospitality.

We sit down with Tamra Lindahl, a certified sommelier and Costco wine steward in Minnesota, to hear how a 20-year career as a flight attendant turned into a deep passion for wine education, terroir, and the people who do the hard work in vineyards and cellars. Her story is a reminder that “wine culture” is not about status, it is about curiosity and respect. We get practical fast: how sommeliers train their palate with sensory “muscle memory,” how to recognize classic markers like oak and buttery Chardonnay, and why your nose usually tells the truth when a wine is off. Tamra also breaks down what most shoppers miss when they buy wine, including how reading the label front and back can reveal single-vineyard clues, vintage details, and even why a bottle's price suddenly drops. If you want better wine pairing choices without overspending, her approach is simple: learn your preferences, try new grapes, and focus on place. We also dig into underrated wine regions and high-value picks, from Washington and Oregon to Portugal's rising profile, Vino Verde, Spain, and Chile. Along the way, Tamra shares what she has learned about organic vineyard practices, the realities of growing grapes in tough climates, and the trends changing the wine industry right now, from orange wine to spritzes and more experimental aging. If you enjoy wine tasting, sommelier tips, and budget-friendly wine shopping, you will walk away with concrete next steps and a longer list of bottles to try. Subscribe, share this conversation with a fellow wine lover, and leave a review to help more people find the show.

In 1985, Ferruccio Ferragamo went looking for game in the hills between Florence and Arezzo. He came home having found a thousand-year-old medieval village instead. Years later, his son Salvatore rode a bicycle into those same hills and saw something his father hadn't: a valley whose soil told an entirely different story in every direction, sandstone in one corner, clay rich with sea fossils in another, the memory of an ocean that vanished millions of years before anyone planted a vine. This is the story of Il Borro — a family better known for shoes than soil, who spent three decades turning a ruin into one of Tuscany's most decorated organic estates, and who are now writing a second chapter in Montalcino. Salvatore Ferragamo, Vice President of Il Borro, sits down with Pierre Ferland to talk about the Valdarno di Sopra, an appellation the estate helped bring back from obscurity, the single vineyard behind Alessandro dal Borro, named for a Medici military commander built on an unusually large scale, the horses that plough Nitrito instead of tractors, and Petruna, a return to ancient amphora winemaking that strips Sangiovese back to something almost nothing else in Tuscany attempts. And at the very end, Salvatore says something about Pinino, the family's newer estate in Montalcino, that he didn't have to admit. But did anyway. The bonus episode, where Salvatore goes into the years before certification, the business case behind the vineyard's solar fields, and what actually earns a second bottle of wine, is available exclusively at readbetweenthewines.com.   Featuring: Il Borro, Valdarno di Sopra DOC, Tuscany, Italy, Sangiovese, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Chardonnay, Pinino, Montalcino, Brunello di Montalcino.

Ana Keller of Keller Estate and Ricky Stancliffe of Trombetta Wines are our in-studio guests on California Wine Country with Dan Berger and Daedalus Howell. As Petaluma Gap wineries, they are participating in the Wind to Wine festival on Saturday, October 17, 2026, at Gambonini Family Ranch in Petaluma. If you want to get to know the wines of the Petaluma Gap, this is the place to go. There is a discount code KRSH for listeners at the Wind to Wine festival site. Ana Keller has brought their 2025 Pétillant Naturel of Pinot Noir, which has a crown cap on the bottle. This is a rare wine. It has a silvery-pinkish color. Known by the French abbreviation “pet nat” they have light bubbles. They are less effervescent than champagne and stronger fruit flavors. Ana explains they did an early pick and cold fermentation. This is clone 667 which is fruit forward. It is a dry Rosé with a little bit of effervescence. It ls like a vin gris which is usually bone dry, although this has a little bit of residual sugar. Dan says the cool night time temperatures in the Petaluma Gap help maintain good acidity. It has a crisp aftertaste and comes in at 11% Abv. Everyone agrees that this would go well with oysters. Ricky tells about a cruise they took down the Rhone River in 2017 on Ama. They are planning another one next May from the 14th to the 21st, on the Duoro River in Portugal. These are all-included on a boat that holds only 150 passengers. Anyone interested can look on the Petaluma Gap website. The Douro River is in the north near the city of Porto. It is home of many long standing port producers. Trombetta Chardonnay & Pinot Noir They are tasting a 2021 Trombetta Wines Chardonnay and Dan reminds us of his adage that Chardonnay is like a red wine with no color, while Pinot Noir is a white wine with color. A zen koan for your tasting. Dan calls this a concentrated version of California Chardonnay. If you like Chard you’ll like this. It has “all the bells and whistles…” the character, citrus fruit, acidity, richness in the mid palette and a strong finish. It is rich without being heavy. At this temperature, which is cool, it would work with a lot of food. They used about 33% French oak and sur-lies battonage which enhances the flavors and also acts as a natural clarifying agent. Trombetta winemaker Erica Stancliffe is also making wines at Deodora Estate Vineyards. They also taste a 2021 Trombetta Pinot Noir from the Gap’s Crown Vineyard. The clones are 667 and 115. Ricky calls it the nosebleed section because it’s at the top of the vineyard. All of the grapes are picked at night to keep them cold when they come into the winery. Erica likes to sneak some whole cluster into the maceration. Her wines are delicious when they are young, but they age well. They are a small winery, making less than 1000 cases per year. With Gaps Crown Vineyard wines, the longer you hold them, the more the aromatics and flavors will develop. Dan detects a trace of nutmeg which is not a spice normally associated with Pinot Noir. But in this case, it comes through in the aroma and the aftertaste. That indicates the wine is going to get better and better.

In this conversation, Fritz continues his deep dive with Thijs Verschuuren of Herman J. Wiemer, exploring practical baby steps toward biodynamic and organic vineyard management. Thijs walks through how he structures a non-systemic spray program in a high-disease-pressure region, breaking down critical spray timing, coverage strategies, and why he treats bloom and cap fall as "non-negotiable" spray windows. They discuss how Thijs combines copper, sulfur, plant teas, biologicals, and newer tools like chitosan-based fungicides and kaolin clay to target downy mildew, black rot, powdery mildew, and leafhoppers, while staying within strict copper limits and managing livestock safety. Fritz and Thijs also cover biodynamic teas, how forecasting and 48‑hour brews fit into a preventive program, and why daily scouting and mapping disease "pockets" are essential. The conversation concludes with canopy management, pruning, mechanization, and thoughtful leaf removal that maintain disease control without sacrificing the acidity and fruit quality of Riesling and Chardonnay on the path to Demeter certification. In this episode, you will hear: Why spray timing and coverage matter more than product choice in organic and biodynamic programs How to integrate copper, sulfur, oils, chitosan, and kaolin clay while respecting label limits and site conditions Practical strategies for managing downy mildew, black rot, and powdery mildew with a mostly protectant toolbox How biodynamic teas and preparations fit into a preventive, weather‑driven vineyard health program Daily scouting, mapping, and localized spraying as core tools to limit disease spread and input use Follow and Review: If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to follow the podcast and leave a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts!

Tribe Sober - inspiring an alcohol-free life! This weeks podcast guest is the lovely Lori Massicot a midlife sobriety coach. I discovered Lori when I found her podcast – it's called “to 50 and beyond” – it's a podcast aimed at women in mid-life where she highlights the beauty of aging and the freedom that comes along with alcohol free life. She's on a mission to raise awareness towards the life changing impact of sobriety as we age.  She interviewed me for her podcast and you can hear that conversation on episode 182 of to 50 and beyond. It's called “Getting Sober Over 60” and you can access it here In this Episode I'm always fascinated by the way peoples drinking evolves over the years – I'm the first person to admit that drinking can be a lot of fun – until it's not – until you become dependent - check out our podcast on how we go from "liking to wanting to needing"  Let's remember that 20% of social drinkers WILL become dependent over the years – if we are in that 20% then that doesn't make us bad people – or weak people – or diseased people. It just makes us people who have become addicted to an addictive drug!  People who will have to do a bit of work to change their habits – and that's where people like myself and Lori come in – we've been where you are and we can help you make the change.  As you heard Lori did the fun bit in her teens and 20's – partying as a teenager and then working in real estate, earning good money and drinking wine with friends and colleagues. Then it was the mommyjuice phase – in here 30's Lori felt depressed, put on weight and found her high pressure job all a bit much. She was using wine at home to cope with her stress and felt trapped in a vicious cycle. She refers to her early 40's as the “dark years, she lost her mom and could get through two bottles of wine at a time. She had a wake up call when a family member asked her if she was an alcoholic.  That's when she realised that alcohol had become the centre of everything in her life. Of course like many of us she tried “the rules” (drinking only on certain days, drinking red rather than white etc etc) which of course didn't work. Of course she also tried to “moderate” but of course that didn't work either - in fact we agreed that for many of us its only when we try to cut down that we realise the extent of our problem.  We realise that we have crossed a line with our drinking and it's going to take more than a bit of willpower to make a change. So if you are busy trying to “moderate” and using rules to control your drinking please save yourself a lot of heartache and take a complete break – no need to use the F (forever word) – just take a break “Playing the Movie Forward” is a very popular tool in our community.  Lori found herself “playing the movie forward 20 years” and was  horrified at what she saw.  She knew her drinking would escalate over the years and decided that she was done.  She poured her Chardonnay down the sink and got started on her life changing journey to sobriety. Lori used journaling as her key tool –there is so much evidence of the value of keeping a journal – and it helps us so much when we are on this path. We can use it to process our emotions, note our triggers and track our journey.  We can read back to the early days and see how much easier its getting and realise how many benefits we are experiencing. And of course the more benefits we do experience the less likely we will be inclined to return to Day 1! Exercise was another key tool for Lori and she educated herself about the best ways to strengthen her body in midlife. So journaling, exercise and playing the movie forward are all great tools which will help us to quit drinking. We all need to create a personal toolkit and we help you with that at Tribe Sober workshops.   Sobriety has given Lori freedom and peace. When she feels anxious she now understands how to self soothe without alcohol. I loved the way she said that in early sobriety we have to protect ourselves and build ourselves up so that we can learn to cope. Then we can go on to learn how to actually thrive our alcohol free lives.

Es gibt Abende, an denen eine Stadt plötzlich mehr ist als Architektur und Weinflaschen. Die Gassen leuchten warm, die alten Mauern erzählen Geschichten – und aus einem kleinen Restaurant strömt ein Duft entgegen, der sofort Lust auf mehr macht. Genau so ein Abend war das im La Table de Guigone, einem kulinarischen Kleinod in der Altstadt von Beaune, nur wenige Schritte von den berühmten Hospices entfernt. Neun Tische, alle belegt, warmes indirektes Licht, alte Natursteinmauern, schwere Holzbalken an der Decke. Wer keinen Tisch reserviert hat, steht draußen – denn an der Tür hängt bereits ein Zettel: heute voll. Der Küchenchef, 30 Jahre jung und mit seinem eigenen Reich endlich angekommen, feiert hier die Schätze des Burgunds: authentisch, frisch, saisonal, ohne Schnickschnack. Pochierte Eier auf Ziegenfrischkäsecreme mit Spargel und Brunnenkresse. Eine Terrine du Chef mit fruchtigem Saisonchutney. Garnelen auf Pastinakenpüree mit Bärlauchrisotto. Hühnerbrust auf Pilzrahmsoße mit einem Süßkartoffelgratin, das von oben crunchy bis unten samtig-weinig alles mitbringt. Und dazu ein Chardonnay von Joseph Drouhin, biodynamisch, cremig, ausdrucksstark – der zu jedem Gang passt und einen einfach nicht loslässt. Am Ende: karamellisierte Ananas mit warmem Fruchtspiegel und einem Klecks Eis. Ein perfekter Abschluss eines perfekten Abends.

It's Monday, Let's raise a glass to the beginning of another week. It's time to unscrew, uncork or saber a bottle and let's begin Exploring the Wine Glass!  Think of today's region as the 'Alice in Wonderland' of California wine country. You've got dramatic ridges high above the fog line, soils that have been shaken up by the San Andreas Fault, and tiny, family-owned producers who are doing things their own way. It's a place where vines struggle just enough to produce something truly magical, but where the human element? Well, that can be a bit of a rollercoaster. We're going to talk about the terroir, the iconic Pinot and Chardonnays, and of course, the vibe. Some of these wineries are absolute gems where you can bring the pups and soak in the redwoods, and others... let's just say their customer service policies are, shall we call them, 'highly spirited.' Whether you're looking for a dog-friendly paradise or a place to debate the definition of 'kid-friendly' over a glass of world-class Cabernet, I've got the intel you need. Let's dive into the Santa Cruz Mountains! Please take a moment of your time to subscribe, rate and review Exploring the Wine Glass. It's completely free and is a great way to let other wine lovers know about the podcast.

Pour a glass and hold onto your tiara: this episode drops us straight into the gilded world of Rare Champagne, the vintage-only prestige cuvée born at the court of Versailles. We sit down with Maud Rabin, Managing Director of Rare Champagne, inside the house's headquarters in Reims (in the Salon Marie-Antoinette itself) to unravel a story that runs from a queen's love of pineapple in 1785 to a bottle dressed by Van Cleef & Arpels two centuries later.Maud trades ten years in fashion for the world of Champagne, tracks down the very family who relaunched the brand, and reveals why Rare Champagne only exists in vintage years, why it took four decades to make just four rosés, and why the tiara on every bottle is glued by hand, one dot at a time, by a team of eight women in Reims.Expect royal history, Chardonnay obsession, and a glass of Rare 1988 paired with Comte.

Fred Peterson, owner of Peterson Winery, joins Dan Berger and Daedalus Howell on California Wine Country today. This is Fred’s first time on the show, but Peterson wines were a big part of this episode with Darryl Miller, on March 27 this year. Daedalus mentions the birds on the labels of the Peterson wines that Fred has brought. There are other labels with a mountain lion, a bear, a fox and a deer. They find old prints that are in public domain that they can use with no royalties. Fred Peterson calls his winemaking style “zero manipulation” which they have trademarked. He uses the jackalope on the label, but he can’t trademark that mythical animal which is in the public domain. They begin by tasting a 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon from Dry Creek Valley. This is what happens when you have the proper fruit, the proper region and the proper technique of making the wine, says Dan. It is a great example of what it can do when it is properly aged. A Cab needs about 12 years to reach its fully mature complexity. This one is 23 years old now and has flavors of dry herbs and bay leaf. This is a mountain cabernet from Bradford Mountain where Fred lives, at about 1100 feet elevation. If a Cabernet is just big, oaky, alcoholic and tannic, it can’t also carry terroir. Mountain Cabs have an edginess that other Cabs just don’t have. -•• • --- -•• ••• •-• •-California Wine Country is brought to you by Deodora Estate Vineyards. Visit Deodora to discover 72 acres in the Petaluma Gap that are producing exceptional Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Riesling. Sip the difference! -•• • --- -•• ••• •-• •- Bitterness is a good thing. Dan reminds us that bitterness is a good thing. We like it in dark chocolate and in coffee. For example, bitters are appropriate in a mixed drink. They are part of the overall complexity and diversity of flavors. This wine is a perfect example. It delivers all its high-altitude character. Fred says, “If we don’t make wines that taste of the vineyard, there’s no reason for a small winery to exist, in my opinion.” He calls his winemaking process “zero manipulation” so that his wines taste like the vineyard. Their current release Cab is the 2022. So, it is young, for a Cabernet. The 2022 is also a very good wine, and Dan thinks that Fred harvested it at the right time. Both Cabs are blends. The 2003 is 83% Cabernet Sauvignon and 17% Merlot. The 2022 has the same 83% Cab, 11% Merlot and 6% Cabernet Franc. After time in the Navy, Fred enrolled at UC Santa Cruz. He took time off for a road trip, to bring a motorcycle to a friend’s farm in Iowa. He took an interest in agriculture when he was there. He took some Agriculture classes at the JC then finished at UC Davis. His mom’s side of the family is Sicilian and Calabrese, so he grew up around wine. Dan sees this as a typical pattern for winemakers, to start in another field before settling on winemaking. Gravity Flow Block He calls the vineyard Gravity Flow block. It is an acre and a half of vineyard with over a mile of deer fencing. When he planted this block, he planted about 7% Viogner which he co-ferments with the Syrah. He and his son don’t like very tannic wines and the Viogner helps temper the Syrah. Co-fermentation is also called co-pigmentation.  The grapes ferment together. If you put 5% Viognier you get darker wine, aromatic improvement and a lighter texture. It has a paradoxical flavor. It has personality and maturity, but it feels young. The 2005 just needs ten more years in the bottle. The Syrah from 2018 is “stunning” says Dan, and was just released. It is available at the winery. Peterson Winery has a mailing list that we can all join. His son does blending seminars occasionally and he does vineyard tours.

Send us Fan MailEpisode #14 is focused on the principle and importance of maintaining brand relevance. In my case, this episode takes you into a Sonoma-Cutrer board meeting back in 1988, at which I proposed what was thought to be a radical idea at the time: to take Chardonnay off the front of the label, à la Burgundy, France, and put the vineyard name in its place.I had only been VP of Sales & Marketing at Sonoma-Cutrer and on the senior management team for less than 90 days at the time. It was a bold move; however, it was increasingly apparent that, with the popularity of Chardonnay during the 80's among the wine-drinking public at large, we ran the risk of being lumped into the sea of average Chardonnay that was beginning to appear in the market at lower prices.Take a listenThanks for being a listener to the Fine Wine Confidential Podcast.

Winemaker Justin Ennis crafts Freestone wines with a deep attention to detail, capturing the distinct character of each vineyard while balancing the vibrancy of the terroir with a refined, elegant structure. Now, that deep-rooted vision comes to market, as Justin and the winery introduce these vineyard-driven wines to a broader audience for the first time. “Everything begins in the vineyard. Through hands-on farming and careful attention, we work to bring in fruit that’s expressive and healthy. In the cellar, I practice minimal intervention winemaking so that the site, the varietal, the clone, and the vintage can speak for themselves,” said Ennis. “The wine is already in the vineyard; my job is simply not to get in its way.” In the 1990s, Joseph Phelps and his son Bill set out to find a place in California’s wine country where they could produce superlative Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The search led him to a place no one suspected – a tiny, unincorporated town called Freestone, tucked away off a quiet highway heading toward the Sonoma Coast. Joe’s peers and friends deemed it too cold, too rugged, too remote for serious winemaking. Starting May 1, these limited production wines became available in select restaurants and fine wine retailers across the U.S. freestonevineyards.com @freestonevineyards @norcal_wino

You may think you know Pinot Grigio, but do you know Pinot Gris? Pinot Gris is the same grape as Pinot Grigio, but in taste, body, and just about every other way that matters, they can feel worlds apart. And, on a very interesting side note, Pinot Gris is also a color mutation of Pinot Noir, but that's another story. In this episode, we focus specifically on Pinot Gris from Alsace, France, a region famous for its white wines. And of all the white wines made there, Pinot Gris is one of the biggest and richest, which may surprise anyone whose idea of Pinot Grigio is something light, thin, and mostly harmless. This is not your grandma's Italian Pinot Grigio. Alsace Pinot Gris can be big, rich, and high in alcohol, and people who love a fuller-bodied Chardonnay may find a lot to like. Surprise! In our tasting, we were struck by just how different these wines were from the Pinot Grigio most people know. Same grape. Very different experience.

This week on Wine Crush Podcast, we're headed to the stunning Dundee Hills to visit Furioso Vineyards, where art, family, and world-class wine come together in spectacular fashion.Founded on a historic vineyard first planted in 1972, Furioso's Dundee estate features 10 acres of mature vines perched on sun-drenched south-facing slopes. Their portfolio expanded with the addition of the Trovato Vineyard in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA, creating an all estate-grown winery with more than 30 acres under vine across two renowned Oregon wine regions. (Furioso Vineyards)In this episode, we dive into the story behind Furioso's breathtaking vineyards, organic farming practices, Italian heritage, and the pursuit of terroir-driven Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. From old-vine fruit to architectural beauty, every detail of this winery reflects passion, craftsmanship, and a deep connection to the land.If you love Oregon wine, Willamette Valley Pinot Noir, vineyard stories, and the people behind the bottle, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

Recorded high above the valley floor in Silverado's Stags Leap estate, this episode with winemaker Alison Rodriguez dives into both Napa viticulture and her global winemaking journey. Alison unpacks the 2025 growing season—early bud break, late rains, and the shadow of El Niño—while describing the constant tension between picking early for safety and waiting for full ripeness in a fire-prone era. She explains what it means to farm 325 acres of 100% estate vineyards, how early-season decisions set up harvest success, and how she manages tannin and extraction in small-berry hillside Cabernets, including the tradeoffs of pressing sweet to keep structure in balance. Alison also shares how a Baton Rouge upbringing and a career in wine sales led her to **Geisenheim** in Germany, European cellar work, and ultimately Napa. She explains the German technique of *Maischestandzeit* for aromatic whites, her evolving approach to Sauvignon Blanc at Silverado (skin contact, neutral barrel ferment, and textural focus), and how she thinks about acid, phenolics, and oak as part of a single matrix. The conversation ranges across Silverado's portfolio—from estate Cabernet blending **Stags Leap and Coombsville**, to Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Petit Verdot, Kerner, and old-vine Chardonnay—before closing on the smells of her Louisiana childhood, Napa's collaborative winemaking culture, and why she's still betting on Riesling's long-overdue comeback.

On this week's episode of The Wine Makers, we speak to Vine Pair's Winemaker of the year Katy Wilson. Katy is a certified bad ass in the wine industry making wine for Anaba, Reeve, Bloodroot, and her own brand LaRue Wines. Katy grew up with agriculture in her blood, farming walnuts on her family’s farm. After double majoring in Wine & Viticulture and Agricultural Business at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, Katy got the winemaking bug traveling the world to make wines with some of the greats. Today we talk about all things carbonic maceration. Katy has been using carbonic maceration to make fresh delicious wines for her clients for years and advised our very own Danielle Langlois with her 2025 Gamay. Katy brought some really cool carbonically made Pinot, Grenache, and Sangiovese wines for us to try, some young, and spicy, and some fresh but subdued with a bit of age. Katy also brought some bottles from her personal label LaRue.  We tasted a coastal, mouth watering, acid-driven 2021 Chardonnay from H. Klopp Vineyards and an elegant and aromatically expressive 2023 Cabernet from Bedrock Vineyards. The Cabernet is from her Charlie LeRue series, a project with her Sommelier husband, David Meneses, and named for her daughter. Katy's wines are elegant and nuanced, expressing a sense of place.  If you have the opportunity to taste any of her wines, you won’t be disappointed. One of those opportunities will be at her yearly LaRue Summer BBQ, where you can taste through her current releases and some special library wines.

  The podcast begins with hosts Marcy Gordon and Beth Costa introducing the episode and thank their sponsor, Ron Rubin and River Road Family Vineyards for supporting the show (0:10-0:48). They welcome guest Bret Munsell of Munsell Vineyards, a family friend with deep ties to the Alexander Valley wine community (0:49-1:15). Bret shares his family's 150-year farming legacy in Alexander Valley, starting with his great-great-grandfathers in the 1870s and 1880s, who initially focused on vineyards and wineries before diversifying into crops like prunes, hops, and dairy. By 1972, the family transitioned entirely to wine grapes (1:15-2:57). Bret discusses his journey, including studying business at UC Davis and working in agricultural finance before joining the family business. He credits his banking experience with giving him valuable insights into production and finances, which he applies to their vineyard operations (3:03-4:27). Bret reflects on the importance of instilling a love for the land in his children, emphasizing the value of community and stewardship (4:36-5:14). He shares how his family celebrated their 150th anniversary with a community-focused event, highlighting the joy of bringing people together (7:12-8:03). The conversation shifts to the growth of their business, which now includes managing 400 acres of their own vineyards and an additional 400 acres for clients. Bret credits his wife for pushing the family to start making wine in 2006, beginning with Chardonnay and Cabernet. They later expanded to Zinfandel, Sauvignon Blanc, Rosé, and Petit Verdot, with their Zinfandel earning double gold awards in competitions (9:11-14:34). Bret explains their unique approach to wine sales, focusing on private tastings in the vineyards rather than a traditional tasting room, allowing guests to connect with the land (15:01-16:09). Bret recounts his early experiences working in the vineyards as a child, learning the value of hard work and responsibility. He shares how his daughters and nieces have also participated in vineyard work, gaining an appreciation for the effort involved (17:12-18:06, 32:11-33:10). He reflects on his passion for farming and the wine grape industry, describing it as the perfect blend of hard work and beauty, with Sonoma County offering unparalleled diversity and vistas (21:14-23:00). As the current chair of the Sonoma County Wine Growers Commission, Bret discusses the organization's role in marketing Sonoma County wine grapes and supporting vineyard workers through programs like the Leadership Academy (23:46-25:06). He highlights the importance of balancing work, family, and community involvement, sharing his family's participation in 4-H and FFA activities (25:48-26:26). Bret also talks about his hobbies, including gardening, hunting, and spending time at a family cabin, which provide a welcome escape from his busy schedule (34:39-36:00). The episode concludes with Bret reflecting on the enduring legacy of wine grapes in Alexander Valley, the challenges and changes in the industry, and his deep connection to the land. He encourages listeners to visit Munsell Vineyards for a unique tasting experience and to watch a heartfelt video celebrating their 150th anniversary, which captures the spirit of their family and agricultural heritage (37:22-41:08).   We're excited to share this video of the Munsell Family legacy.  What an honor.  150 Year Celebration

In this show rather than one wine legend, I talk about a team of people who saved the wine world from The Great French Wine Blight of the 1860s – 1890s, which turned out to be caused a destructive, insect called phylloxera that came to Europe on American grapevines. I discuss the contributions of eight people who worked together and across continents to collectively save the European grapevine, Vitis vinifera, from extinction. Today, we drink Pinot Noir, Cabernet, Chardonnay, Riesling, and Syrah all because of the efforts of these people. This podcast is the story of what they did and how they did it.   I discuss the contributions of: Jules-Émile Planchon Gaston Bazille CV Riley Hermann Jaeger George Hussman TV Munson Leo Laliman Pierra Viala All played key roles in identifying the cause of vine death in France, and finding the solutions that would work best.    This is an important story of wine legends all wine lovers should know about!
