Good morning, RVA! It's 27 °F, and today you can expect clear skies and highs right around 50 °F. I think this weather for sure qualifies as “brisk,” and I'm excited to clap my hands together and say “Woo! It's brisk out there!” every time I enter a building for the next several weeks. Water cooler Big news! Last night, City Council voted unanimously to appoint Nicole Jones as the 9th District's interim councilmember. Jones—no relation to the Jones she's replacing—served as the 9th's representative on the School Board for the last few of years and will officially shift over to Council in early January. Just like everyone else on City Council, Jones will face reelection this coming November (assuming she wants to stay on Council for a new, full term). School Board's press release mentions that they've now got 45 days to select a replacement and will have more details forthcoming, so it doesn't sound like Jones will stick around and serve on both bodies (which, honestly, sounds exhausting). No ifs ands or buts: That's going to be a tough role to fill given the School Board's general vibes and toxic workplace culture. Stay tuned for more information on how they'll go about appointing a replacement and if it will impact their regular business—like the budget they need to pass in the next little while. Anyway, welcome to City Council, Councilmember Jones (...well that's going to be confusing, isn't it?)! One other City Council update—they adopted all three papers I had my eye on: the tweaks to the Urban Forestry Commission (ORD. 2023-331), pushing the Mayor's due date for the budget back a a few weeks to March 27th (ORD. 2023-332), and asking the General Assembly to approve the less chunky changes to the City's Charter (RES. 2023-R057). Samuel B. Parker at the Richmond Times-Dispatch reports that a driver hit a person in the crosswalk while turning right on red, from Harrison Street onto Broad Street. The pedestrian suffered life-threatening injuries and was taken to the hospital. I don't know if the City has put up the “NO RIGHT TURN ON RED” signs at that particular intersection yet, but doing so was one of the recommendations in VCU's Pedestrian Safety Study they released this past fall. Right turns on red are dangerous because drivers are often so concerned with looking left for oncoming traffic they never even look right—the direction in which their car is moving and where folks might be walking! We could make the city safer if we wholesale banned rights on red, and I'd love for someone on City Council to pick this up next year. Karri Peifer at Axios Richmond reports that UR just released the third update to its Mapping Inequality project—the reason why we have such great digital versions of all those redlining maps. Tap through to learn about the project's updated features, new introductions from scholars, and additional maps from new cities. WRIC's Kassidy Hammond reports that the Jefferson's gingerbread display—which is an annual thing that I am just now learning about—contains over 550 pounds of gingerbread and 100 pounds of marshmallows. Marshmallows don't weigh at ton, so I would love to see what 100 pounds of them look like all piled up in a room somewhere. This morning's longread Privacy first I liked this Cory Doctorow essay on internet privacy and how focusing on more and better privacy laws gets us better protection from all sorts of things—things that a surprisingly broad coalition of people care about. This piece helps answer the first question most people ask when I talk about this stuff: “I'm not doing anything on the internet that I don't want folks to know about. Why should I care?” Worried your kid is being made miserable through targeted ads? No surveillance, no targeting. Worried your uncle was turned into a Qanon by targeted disinformation? No surveillance, no targeting. Worried that racialized people are being targeted for discriminatory hiring or lending by algorithms? No surveillance, no targeting. Worried that nation-state actors are exploiting surveillance data to attack elections, politicians, or civil servants? No surveillance, no surveillance data. Worried that AI is being trained on your personal data? No surveillance, no training data. Worried that the news is being killed by monopolists who exploit the advantage conferred by surveillance ads to cream 51% off every ad-dollar? No surveillance, no surveillance ads. Worried that social media giants maintain their monopolies by filling up commercial moats with surveillance data? No surveillance, no surveillance moat. If you'd like to suggest a longread to show up here, go chip in a couple bucks on the ol' Patreon. Picture of the Day So freaking jealous of this Messy Light Situation in the Fan.

In this episode, you'll hear a session recorded earlier this summer at the 2023 Appalachian State University energy summit in Boone, North Carolina. This panel included my B&D colleague, Kevin Mara, and two industry experts, Chris DePodesta and Carolyn Arida, from the infrastructure investment group at Harrison Street. The topic evolving Energy public-private partnerships or energy P3s for higher education.

The Firm is headquartered in Chicago with offices in Berlin, London, Luxembourg, Madrid, New York, Tokyo, Toronto, San Francisco and Washington DC. Prior to co-founding Harrison Street, Mr. Merrill was a partner, owner and Managing Director of a large U.S. Pension Fund Advisory firm where he developed the firm's presence in Europe, creating the first ever real estate funds exclusively targeting the markets of Central Europe. This initial fund was one of the Top 10 performing global funds during vintage years 1996-2000 as noted by Preqin.

ESG is impacting every industry and the student housing industry isn't exempt.  But where is it headed?  In the short term in the US, everyone is looking at the SEC's forthcoming Climate Disclosure Rule that came out last fall but has not been finalized due Supreme Court ruling between West Virginia and the EPA.  But what's beyond that???  For that, we need to look at the UK's Net Zero initiative. In this episode, Daniel Smith joins Wes as co-host to discuss sustainability efforts and where things are headed.  Daniel is not only a student housing veteran with both development and operating experience, he is also the co-founder of Good Management Group which is a London-based consultancy firm that advises all types of companies regarding their ESG efforts.  Daniel is also the managing director of Student Housing Consultancy.  Additionally in this episode, we share a recent ShopTalk panel discussion on What's Ahead with ESG and Student Housing.  The panel includes industry experts Jill Brosig from Harrison Street, and Chris Laughman and Madeline Robertson, both from Greystar.

This week on the podcast, Blake sits down with car collector Magnus Walker for a wide ranging discussion about cars, guitars, watches, and life. Magnus is a true enthusiast who uses the things he collects, whether that's watches, cars, clothing, or anything else. Magnus talks about what draws him to the objects he's interested in, and how he takes a design first approach but is also highly focused on things like tactile feel and why he's interested in something. This is a really fun conversation, and Magnus has a lot of insights about the car world that will ring true to watch collectors (and collectors of just about anything else).This episode is brought to you by the San Francisco Windup Watch Fair.

This is Stephen Schmidt from the Gazette Digital News Desk, and I'm here with your update for Thursday, April 20.Thursday will be windy and stormy, as cold air is coming into the area, leading to rain Thursday and a chilly Friday and Saturday. According to the National Weather Service it will be mostly cloudy in the Cedar Rapids area with a high of 68 degrees. The wind will pick up during the day, blowing as high as 20 to 25 mph and gusting as high as 35 mph. Rain chances overall for the day is 60 percent, but it appears from their analysis that rain possibilities will likely cease by 4 p.m.Crowding and capacity needs continue to stress the main University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, compelling administrators to expand the emergency department, reorganize existing services and — now — open a new “short-stay unit.”UIHC opened a new 30-room short-term unit Monday aimed at freeing up patient beds for sicker patients; streamlining the hospital experience for short-term patients requiring observation before heading home; and allowing providers to focus on either critical-care or short-term needs.Examples of UIHC patients who might require a short hospital stay are those needing further evaluation to determine whether they're stable enough to be released or should be admitted; patients recovering from surgery; or ER arrivals requiring observation, like those with chest pain, for example.Patients might find themselves in the short-stay unit after the operating room or a trip to the emergency room — which has become increasingly stretched in recent years.The family of a Muscatine man who went missing from Iowa City over the weekend hosted a prayer vigil Tuesday evening, and has been working with police on ongoing search efforts.Cristian Martinez, 20, had gone to Iowa City with some friends who last saw him in the alley behind Bardot Iowa, a bar at 347 S. Gilbert St., sometime before 1 a.m. Saturday. His phone had died earlier in the evening, according to the Iowa City Police Department.Martinez was reported missing Saturday after his family noticed he hadn't come home with his friends. Iowa City police investigators found security footage that showed Martinez at 12:56 a.m. in the 100 block of W. Harrison Street, walking west.Family, friends and other community members gathered Tuesday at the downtown Pedestrian Mall in Iowa City to hand out flyers and show support.The family has started a GoFundMe account to help with hiring a private investigator, and any other expenses as the search continues. As of Wednesday afternoon, the account had raised almost $10,000.Iowa City is taking the first step in exploring space and department needs of the City Hall building on Washington Street, which houses various city departments including police and fire.The city will be working with OPN Architects over the next six months on the master plan and feasibility study project, which the Iowa City Council approved as part of the consent agenda during Tuesday's meeting. Since it was on the consent agenda, there was no council discussion.OPN will review the current and projected space and needs of departments — including whether it would be possible to relocate the police department to a stand-alone building.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Blake and Zach are chatting about a range of topics. First up: the unique appeal of the Formex Essence, a watch that Blake just reviewed (in the lightweight Leggera line). Zach also just picked up a 39mm Essence, and there are a lot of fun features in these watches that add a ton of value to the entire package. They discuss a few new releases that caught the community's attention, including the new Group B Rallysport Chronograph from Autodromo, and a peculiar GMT from Timex, which claims to track three time zones, but Blake seems to think might track up to five(!) simultaneously. It's a somewhat confounding release that we're excited to get a hold of ourselves, if only to figure out with certainty how it actually works.

He contended that he acted as lookout for 18-year-old Jeremy Goodale as he struck and killed Nohema Graber with a baseball bat on November 2, 2021. The 66-year-old Graber was a Spanish teacher at Fairfield High School.Goodale testified Tuesday during his hearing that it had been Miller who had planned the assault, brough the bat, and struck Graber. Goodale testified he helped Miller move Graber off the park trail, where he struck her and she died. Assistant Iowa Attorney General Scott Brown said the prosecution contends Miller was part of planning the murder and he also struck Graber with the baseball bat. Brown said that Miller also helped cover up the crime and destroyed evidence.Brown said the prosecution believes the murder was committed due to Graber giving a bad grade, and it was Miller who was in her class that year, not Goodale. Brown said the prosecution will recommend a minimum of 30 years in prison for Miller, with the possibility of parole. He said they will be recommending 25 years for Goodale, because he cooperated with the investigation. Graber, who grew up in Mexico, had been a Spanish teacher at Fairfield High since 2012. She left behind three children — Christian, Nohema Marie and Jared — and a former husband, Paul.The Iowa City Police Department has begun scouring the Iowa River and Ralston Creek in search of a 20-year-old Muscatine man who was last seen early Saturday, according to authorities.Cristian Martinez was last seen walking west in the 100 block of W. Harrison Street, south of downtown, about 12:56 a.m. Saturday. His phone had died earlier in the evening and his loved ones have been unable to reach him.Based on the direction Martinez was walking, police are concerned he may have ended up at the Iowa River. The Iowa City Police Department worked with Johnson County Emergency Management and the Army Corps of Engineers to reduce the flow from the Coralville Reservoir to help search the river for Martinez.Boats and drones have been used to search the river. Police have also searched nearby railroad tracks and Ralston Creek, and have obtained surveillance video from Iowa City, the University of Iowa, Johnson County and other private video. They've also reviewed Martinez' bank account and cellphone activity, according to a news release

This week on the podcast, Blake Buettner and Zach Kazan reflect on Watches & Wonders, now that they've had a bit of time to digest everything they've seen. The show is always hectic, and there is just so much to see that it can be hard to process everything in the moment. But after a week or so, things start to settle, and that's where we are here. Blake and Zach talk about some of the watches that left the greatest impression on them, as well as potential trends spotted coming out of the show, and the discourse that's developing around the week's most talked about watches.This episode is brought to you by the San Francisco Windup Watch Fair.

This week's podcast guest is Chris Merrill, the co-founder and CEO of Harrison Street, a $55 billion family of real estate funds focused on demographically-driven real estate niche sectors such as student housing, senior housing, life science, self-storage and infrastructure throughout the U.S., Canada and Western Europe. He talks about their strategy as a break out from the four main real estate “food groups” and how their strategy is “de-risked” both by focusing on these multiple niche sectors and through working through multiple operating partners in each business.

High rates and uncertain times have seen traditional CRE transactions falter in recent months. But for deal-hungry investors, Harrison Street CEO Christopher Merrill says there's an alternative — alternative assets. The executive makes the case that once-fringe investment vehicles like student housing or self-storage hold the recession-proof demand and repricing power investors are craving.

Last week, Blackstone announced it was buying American Campus Communities for $13 billion. And it's not the only firm getting into student housing. As colleges and enrollment numbers have grown and admission rates have dropped, investment firms and developers have started investing in and building more and more apartments around college campuses. But when did the asset class become so institutionalized, and why?

Arianna's mother, 32-year-old Nicole Fitts, disappeared from San Francisco, California on April 1, 2016. She was last seen after her shift at Best Buy on Harrison Street that day.Later in the day, she exchanged text messages with relatives, saying she was going to Fresno, California with a friend named "Sam." Her family was puzzled by this, as Nicole didn't know anyone named Sam and she didn't have a car.In the early morning hours of April 2, there was a post to Nicole's Facebook reading, "Spending time with my 3 year old need this brake." Her family doesn't think she actually wrote it; Arianna was two, not three, and Nicole wrote with good grammar and spelling.Nicole has never been heard from again. Her family reported her missing on April 5; they said they couldn't find Arianna either.On April 8, Nicole's body was found in a shallow grave in McLaren Park, covered by a piece of plywood with a symbol spray-painted on it. Photos of Nicole and the plywood are posted with this case summary. After Nicole was found murdered, police announced they thought Arianna was at risk.Support the show (https://pod.fan/have-you-seen-me-the-missing-chronicles)

I hope you've had a chance to listen to Cole Chlouber and Adrian Macdonald on the last two episodes discussing the Leadville Trail 100.  Like Adrian, Annie Hughes was a relatively unknown rookie winner of this year's race.  At age 23, many might have dismissed her as one of those cute stories of a youngster taking on too steep a challenge.  When I began running ultras many moons ago, it was the realm of old goats who were getting slower, so we ran further.  In fact, I believe in the 90s when I first ran the Leadville 100, there had never been a finisher less than 23 years old.  It was considered too much discipline for so-called youngsters to be able to train for races that rigorous.  Then along came young studs like Kilian Jornet who broke that mold and became something of the Michael Jordan of ultrarunning and opened the door to many more younger ultra specialists.  But even when Clare Gallagher entered Leadville, who I had watched as a very strong high school cross country runner at Cherry Creek High School here in Denver, I thought it was cute that Clare would attempt it.  Then she not only won, but she ran the second-fastest time ever, behind only the legend herself, Ann Trason.  However, Annie Hughes has some serious cred.  She was third woman a year ago at her first 100 in Bryce Canyon, Utah, and set the FKT for the Collegiate Loop of 160 miles, which she completed in 61 hours.  In 2021, she won the Collegiate Peaks 50-miler outright, including beating all of the men in the race.  She followed that up by finishing second overall in Mace's Hideout 100, a great tune-up for Leadville just two months later.  One cool part about watching her run Leadville was the amount of local support she got.  Yes, she is well-known there because she manages the Leadville Race Series store on Harrison Street, Leadville's main drag.  She is also well-known for her ebullient personality, which does come through in our spirited conversation, and she has a deep love for getting up into the mountains.  By the way, her Instagram handle of outdoorableannie is among the best and appropriate ones I've ever seen.  Annie has her sights set on the Moab 240 in October, where she will likely take on the current queen of ultrarunning, recent UTMB winner Courtney Dauwalter.Annie HughesInstagram @outdoorable_annieStravaBill Stahl - contact me to join the American Heroes Run Challenge!silly_billy@msn.comFacebook Bill StahlInstagram @stahlor

William Gee Wong almost didn't exist. A few years before Wong was born, his father was shot four times over a dispute involving Oakland Chinatown's underground lottery. Thanks to the quick work of doctors at Highland Hospital, Wong's father survived, and after retiring from the gambling business, he opened the Great China restaurant on a busy commercial stretch of Webster Street. William Gee Wong was born just around the corner, at the family's house on Harrison Street, the youngest of seven children. Even after his family moved to the “China Hill” area east of Lake Merritt, one of the few neighborhoods open to Asian-Americans during the 1940s, William spent most of his time either working for the family business or at Lincoln School. This is why he says “Chinatown was my whole universe” for about the first 20 years of his life. As the decades passed, Bill learned journalism writing for The Daily Cal, before breaking racial barriers at the San Francisco Chronicle and Wall Street Journal. Eventually, he returned to his hometown to write for The Oakland Tribune about culture and politics from an Asian-American perspective, something practically unheard of at mainstream media outlets in the 1980s. Since retiring he's published two books, “Yellow Journalist” and “Oakland's Chinatown,” and he's currently working on a memoir about his father, who immigrated from China in 1912. In today's episode, William Gee Wong discusses the history of Chinese immigration to California, the rise of Oakland's Chinatown, his memories of working in a “hybrid” restaurant, the systemic racism of urban renewal projects that gutted his neighborhood, and much more.

On this week's show we will examine the intersection of architectural design and buildings that have Landmark protection, specifically how architects work with landmark restrictions in their construction and design projects.My guests will be Wayne Norbeck and Jordan Rogove, co-founders and partners in the architectural firm DXA Studio. And co-hosting this special episode with me will be Rediscovering New York regular and the program's Special Consultant, David Griffin of Landmark Branding.Tune in for this fascinating conversation at TalkRadio.nyc or watch the Facebook Livestream by clicking here..Show NotesSegment 1To start the show, the topic of New York landmarks was introduced and what goes into designing them. Two of the guests being featured on today's show are the co-founders and partners of the architectural firm DXA Studio. Their names are Wayne Norbeck and Jordan Rogove who both have years of experience. Today's co-host is David Griffin who is a New York historian working with Landmark Branding. Next, the background of the guests is questioned along with how they got into their career field. Both of them explain how becoming an architect was a natural choice.They have wanted to become architects since they were young. There are some challenges that go into working with landmark protected places. Wayne explains how a client can be in for quite a learning experience when working on a project if they are not educated about what is permitted and what is not. In the past, clients have wanted to put a 20 story edition on a building which was not allowed. Also, Jordan discusses the importance of making a project authentic and one way of doing that is to take note of the design and style of architecture that matches the others in the area.Segment 2After the break, 7 Harrison Street in Tribeca, New York was brought up because that is the first place with landmark protection that was worked on by DXA Studio. When a building has landmark status, it is very challenging to change the appearance of it from the street. At times, Jordan and Wayne have to be careful to ensure that whatever they're building is a contribution instead of a hindrance. When adding additions to buildings, they must make sure no one's windows are being blocked for example. One Hundred Barclay is another project that was worked on by DXA. The building is located near the new World Trade Center. They are responsible for the design of the exterior as well as the interior lobby. The two architects explain how a lot of the process was working with designers in order to illuminate a space in the best way possible.Segment 3Next, 827 & 831 Broadway is asked about which used to be a place for artists to produce their work. Many great painters were natives of that location. These buildings are very important to the state culturally. Jordan and Wayne eventually developed a project to create a vertical extension. They wanted to expand on a place that contains so much history, however, the project is currently delayed. Some people are making the case that the project is not appropriate and unnecessary but the two are confident that it will get built in the future.Segment 4Landmark branding is a company that provides branding and marketing support for real estate, architecture and design professionals. David works there and ensures that New York is backed. When Jordan and Wayne are assigned a project that involves religious landmarks they do their best to preserve what they find. In the past, they have preserved stained glass windows among others that are still around today. When they were working on the Brooklyn Bridge, they attempted to bring it back to its original look and feel. The project was received well by the public. They were given some great feedback and many people liked the design.

Solar + storage will play an increasingly important role as the U.S. electric grid transitions moves to decarbonize.

Vicksburg, is a historic city in Warren County, Mississippi. Located on a high bluff on the east side of the Mississippi River, across from Louisiana. Steeped in Native American, Civil War, and French colonial its an open history book. But one home located behind the wrought iron gates at 1445 Harrison Street, has seen and endured the majority of Vicksburg's history, the notorious McRaven Home. Since being built in the late 1700s, ownership of the home has changed several times, but one thing has remained the same. It appears to be a magnet for paranormal activity, from unexplainable occurrences to malevolent spirits, the McRaven Home has definitely earned its title, of "the most haunted house in Mississippi"[FOLLOW ON SOCIAL MEDIA & MORE]TWITTER: www.twitter.com/SouthernOddPodINSTAGRAM: www.instagram.com/SouthernOddPodJARED'S TWITTER: www.twitter.com/jared_ordisJARED'S INSTAGRAM: www.instagram.com/jared.ordisORDIS STUDIOS PODCAST NETWORK & WEBSITE: www.ordisstudios.com[ADDITONAL INFORMATION]Questions or Business Inquiry, Email Us @ ordisstudios@gmail.comResearched was used for this episode of Southern Oddities, and we couldn't have made it possible without the journalism and dedication from these awesome sources of information: McRaven Tour Home [Website] Wikipedia [McRaven House] Only in Your State [McRaven MS] Vicksburg Post [McRaven house sold to Magee Couple] Visit Vicksburg [What you need to know about Vicksburg Most Haunted Mansion] Mississippi Weekend [McRaven House] Visckburg Post [McRaven Haunted Tours] Haunted Rooms [McRaven House] Wikipedia [Vicksburg, Mississippi]"Southern Oddities" is created & produced by Jared Ordis, an Ordis Studios production.

Together, these three trends underscore the increasingly critical role of technology in advancing economic, business, and talent development. COVID-19 doesn't change these trends—it accelerates them.

Non-profit Perennial Farming Initiative Executive Director Nathan Kaufman believes food is our best resource in fighting climate change through projects like Aquaponics, Carbon Farming, a healthy soil guide, and growing regenerative and perennial grains.TRANSCRIPTSpeaker 1:Method to the madness is next. You're listening to method to the madness, a weekly public fair show on [00:00:30] k a l x Berkeley celebrating fate area innovators and your host, Lisa Keifer. And today I'm speaking with Nathan Kaufman, executive director of the Perennial Farming Initiative, a nonprofit organization dedicated to combating climate change from a culinary perspective. Speaker 2:Okay. Speaker 3:Welcome to the program. Nathan, thank you so much for having me. You're the executive director of the perennial farming initiative here in the bay area, [00:01:00] both in San Francisco and over here in the East Bay. What are the problems you're trying to solve with the perennial farming initiative? Speaker 4:So for us, it's, you know, trying to make transformative change in the food system. For us, I think it's especially about engaging individuals to use their consumer power to create the changes that they want in the food system every day. Speaker 3:What are some of the projects you've started in order to do that? Speaker 4:Why don't we start with the greenhouse? Okay. Yeah. So we manage greenhouse over in West Oakland, which [00:01:30] is basically set up to capture all of the food waste or the bulk of the food waste from the restaurant. So what we do is in the kitchen, our food scraps, you know, when they're doing prep, we'll split that into vegetable waste and basically everything else, our vegetables are fed to red wiggler worms, standard composting worms. A lot of folks in Berkeley, you'll know about those, our meat and our dairy and our bread, all of this stuff, you know, that can't be fed to worms. We feed to what are called black soldier fly larva to basically a fly, you know, while it's still a Grub, [00:02:00] we then harvest our worms and our Grubbs periodically uh, dehydrate them and use them as a feed to raise white Pacific sturgeon and blue channel catfish. We then utilize the manure produced by those a sturgeon and catfish as a fertilizer to grow hydroponic vegetables, which then ultimately go back to the restaurant. Speaker 3:Sounds like a full closed loop of sustainability. Yeah. You also are involved in carbon farming. Yeah. So it is carbon farming. Speaker 4:So carbon farming is [00:02:30] basically a way of ranching that actually increases the amount of carbon in the soil rather than decreasing it. Cattle can be really, really detrimental for soils if not managed correctly. You know, they'll eat grass down to the bare root, exposing it to sunlight, basically killing the grass. Uh, what we do in a managed grazing setting is move those cattle around more frequently and keep them on smaller pastures. This basically keeps them from eating the grass down all the way [00:03:00] so that essentially in you know, 20 or 30 days whenever they, you know, do the full rotation and come back to that pasture, it's fully regrown. The big emission with cattle grazing is the methane production that we're associated with them. What carbon farming has shown is basically by having these managed grazing techniques, you can actually sequester more carbon into the soil. Speaker 4:Or rather the offset is such that the amount of carbon sequestered into the soil by allowing those grasses to stay [00:03:30] healthy, allowing s the soiled remain covered is greater than the methane emission associated with the cattle. Know today. Current practices, especially on large farms is what so on on, you know, most cattle ranches, you see like a calf cow operation where it's essentially, you know, you have a really large property, say a thousand acres and your cattle have free range over all thousand acres. So they're going to go to the best spots. They're going to, you know, like most of us cows are lazy. They don't want to walk, you know, walk up [00:04:00] six mile trek every single day. But if you think about what they'd be doing in nature, date, of course, be dealing with predators and they'd have to be finding new source of water. So that movement, um, is really what's important in managed grazing. Speaker 4:And that's the way it used to be, right? Yeah. Long ago when we first, Oh yeah, think about, you know, Willdabeast on the Serengeti, you don't see one over here and one over there. Do you see all 200,000 in a tight little clump. They're all fighting to be the one in the center and they're moving constantly. [00:04:30] So they're not eating the grass down completely. They're depositing their maneuver in really dense concentrations. So it actually is a huge boost of fertilizer for that soil because they're so dense. They're also actually work, you know, kind of working the, and massaging, uh, their manure into the soil with their hooves. So, you know, all sorts of ways that benefits the soil. Speaker 3:I also read that the perennial farming initiative has been working with bakers, farmers, millers and food activists to make the bay area [00:05:00] a hub for regenerative and perennial grains. What are you doing with regenerative grades? Speaker 4:So what we've done is taken [inaudible], which was developed by the Land Institute. It's a perennial wheat grass. So we serve at a variety of ways at the restaurant. Uh, we have a standard bread and butter, you know, Kerns a toast and butter. It's a house made butter housemate bread. Very delicious. We also do a seasonal toast. Um, so right now it Keratin toasted walnut, you know, in a few weeks it'll be cherry tomato in [00:05:30] a, you know, a few weeks after that there'll be cauliflower. You know, it's really just the moving with the seasons, but onset currents of bread. We also have occurrence of beer produced by Patagonia provisions. So really for, you know, for us it's great to have a variety of different things on the menu. Um, that all show exhibit how a perennial grain can be just as delicious, if not more than what you think with an annual. Speaker 3:What is so special about this? What makes it part of the sustainability? Yeah, so Speaker 4:what's so special about currency is [00:06:00] the fact that it's a perennial. So for annual wheat grass, you would grow it out, you'd harvest and then you till your soil afterwards. Tillage is good for farmers generally they're, you know, doing it to increase the aeration of the soil. They're doing it to increase a water retention. You know, essentially they're going and spading this, the fields so that it breaks up the surface of the soil. What this does though is it also releases a lot of the carbon stored in the soil by exposing all those microorganisms, which have previously [00:06:30] been, you know, several inches to several feet below the surface. By digging those all up, it rapidly decomposes a lot of those, uh, microorganisms. The carbon's released. What's Nice about Kearns, uh, is there isn't the root requirement for tillage. So first of all, you're not breaking up the soil. Speaker 4:And secondly, Kearns, uh, can grow roots, you know, tens of feet deep versus your two, three, four foot annual wheat. Um, so the sheer ability to store carbon via its, you know, its rhizome deeper and deeper into the soil, [00:07:00] gives it a far better carbon sequestration, uh, capacity than annual wheat. Has the interest in carbon farming come about because of the percentage of carbon release through agriculture? Do you know what that is? Oh definitely. So it's quite comparable to the emissions associated with all transport, all cars, your shipping, your commercial shipping lanes, everything. So if we, you know, and the thing that we don't talk about is that unlike taking cars off the road, if we change our agricultural practices, we not only have the ability to reduce these emissions, [00:07:30] we have the ability to reverse these emissions. There are few things that have the ability to actually take carbon from the atmosphere and store them in the soil. Plants have been doing it for billions of years. So what we, you know, we're trying to do is basically just co-opt what nature has been doing forever. Step back and let it, let it do its thing. Speaker 1:If you're just tuning in, you're listening to method to the madness. A weekly public affairs show on [00:08:00] k a l x Bertram Celebrating Bay area innovators. Today I'm interviewing Nathan Kaufman, the executive director of the perennial farming initiative. It's a nonprofit organization that believes food is our best resource in the fight against climate change. [inaudible] one of the projects you're doing is aquaponics Speaker 4:[00:08:30] in West Oakland. Can you describe what that is? Basically, aquaponics is the conjunction of fish farming, aquaculture and hydroponics. Hydroponics is basically just growing plants without soil. So if I was talking about growing in soil, it'd be geopolitics. Uh, instead we're using a water solution. What we do is use our manure produced by our fish as a fertilizer for those hydroponic vegetables. So we grow a lot different leafy greens, uh, edible flowers. Are they sitting right on the water? So we have a variety [00:09:00] of production methods. We do. We have what's called a deep water culture bed where basically you have a raft sitting right over the water. The roots grow down in, this is great for like leafy Greens, watercress is salaries, stuff like that. We also have what's called a nutrient film system where basically a small trickle of water runs over the roots. Speaker 4:We also actually utilize that same fishermen newer to do soil based agriculture. So we have raised beds on our farm as well, where basically we're just uh, what's called fertigating. We're [00:09:30] fertilizing and irrigating at the same time through a drip irrigation system. Where are you located in Oakland? So we're right off of West grand on 23rd do you invite schools to come and look and see what you're doing or can people come and see? Yeah. So we've worked with a, a couple of charter schools and a couple of private schools so far, but we're definitely working on trying to make a better program to start to be able to offer field trips for public school programs and how to do this exact, yeah, I mean, can regular people with race gardens, is this something I could do at my home in Berkeley? Oh [00:10:00] yeah. What's part of what's so cool about aquaponics is it's, it's scalable. Speaker 4:It's something that, you know, I've worked on 10 acre aquaponic farms that are producing hundreds if not thousands of pounds of vegetables a day. And I've also, right now got a 10 gallon aquaponics system sitting on my kitchen counter, you know, that I use to grow parsley and kitchen herbs. So what's cool about it is that it's the same principle whether you're growing acres and acres of produce or handfuls of [00:10:30] produce. Really it's the same process. Um, we rely on a beneficial ecology in the water. So we rely on what are called nitrify ing bacteria. They take the ammonia that fish produce via their metabolism. They break it down into nitrate. You can kind of think of nitrate as miracle grow. It's, it's just great, great for plants. And, uh, as the plants absorb that nitrate use it to grow, they actually remove it from the water, keeping the water nice and clean for our fish. Speaker 4:So it's a great kind of symbiotic system. The fish stay nice [00:11:00] and happy and clean water. The plants get all the nutrients they need. What are you doing or are you involved in any nationwide initiatives working with large corporations because the rest of the country and especially the rural areas suffer from food deserts and absolutely. Yeah. So we, we do have like nationwide partners, so we work with the Lens Institute on their current project. Uh, you know, we try and support like-minded projects and other municipalities. What we're trying to do is really just be an inspiration. [00:11:30] If all our contribution has been, is to get Kerns and mentioned in the newspaper a few dozen times, like good enough because it's really people starting to see that there is a demand. That's what we're trying to, people are reaching out to you from other areas of the country. Yeah. And we, you know, we've had a lot of interest from other chefs. Speaker 4:It's been fun to see passively folks change their buying. One thing we've noticed is that there is aquaponic produce in a lot more restaurants in the bay area than there were a few years ago. [00:12:00] So again, you know, just trying to, trying to break down the norms that exist within our food system and really kind of shake things up for people. Um, so that it doesn't feel weird and it doesn't feel foreign and the idea of eating, you know, let us grown from fish poop, you know, isn't something that's gross. It's something that's beautiful and delicious. And I want to talk about some of the methods that you are using through donations to support farmers. Yeah, so we have our compost drive. We basically take a percentage of restaurant revenue [00:12:30] and divert it into fund to basically buy large amounts of compost to then apply to ranch land. Speaker 4:You know, the application of compost definitely kind of kick-starts the soil biology, um, allows for greater sequestration year after year after year. So it's kind of the gift that keeps on giving. It also helps with water retention. So it's great, you know, for periods of drought, the big obstacle that was cost, you know, the thing holding up most of these farmers is that they just simply can't afford it. So what we wanted to do that surprises me. Like [00:13:00] I didn't know farmers didn't use compost already. Oh yeah. You know, there are, there are definitely farmers who do, but you know, it's, it's something where if you don't have the means or if you don't have like the staffing for someone to apply it, or if you don't have the infrastructure, if you, you know, it's just, you know, it's containable it's very, very costly. So we tried to do is just take the cost out of it. Speaker 4:We wanted the farmers to focus on farming, not on their checkbook. So what do you do? [00:13:30] So, uh, in addition to what we take from the restaurant revenue, uh, we'll also give people the ability to donate themselves. So you can go online to perennial farming.org and donate a cubic yard of compost to a farmer. What we'll basically do is aggregate that until we have say 200, 400 cubic yards worth of material purchased and then we'll go and do a onetime application with several truck loads. That's such a gift to farmers. How would they ever say no to that? Not only do you provide the compost, but you [00:14:00] apply it exactly certain, so to take cost out of the equation for them. Um, so it's just about, hey, do you want better yields and do you want to help the planet? Oh, well I can do this. Speaker 4:They can't afford. Exactly. There's not, there's not a malicious intent. Um, it's just, you know, that for a lot of people they are consumed by the fear of losing their farm. Um, so if we can, we're not trying to shame farmers in a, changing their practices. We're all about the carrot and the stick. You know, we're really [00:14:30] just trying to lure people in to changing their production habits by showing them, hey, there's, there's demand over here. You know, there's money to be made in being more sustainable. There's money to be made in something that's more environmentally friendly and more equitable and doesn't have all these negative externalities associated with, you seem to know a lot about farming your background where you farmer. So, no, I didn't really growing up, I hadn't really dreamed of being a farmer. I grew up here in the bay area, a Lafayette [00:15:00] and uh, you know, I'd always been kind of a biology nerd, loved plants and animals, but more, it's just kind of a curiosity. Speaker 4:When I got to UC Santa Cruz, I had originally been a plant physiologist and was studying albino redwoods. Um, you know, which was just so interesting and crazy. Yeah, most people don't, but it was something where, you know, I felt that I wasn't getting to do enough dynamic problem solving. Like I re, you know, I'm one of those people where I always want a new challenge. I always want to be working [00:15:30] to get better and better and better. When I started taking classes on the farm, I just saw this immense opportunity where, you know, you've got the most complex problem solving there is taking place every day. You know, people don't like, you don't realize it until you start your own garden. Oh yeah. You don't realize that every farmer is also an ecologist that, you know, they're managing ecosystems, not just their farm. It's not just about the yield, it's about every [00:16:00] plant and animal that is in their purview because all of it's gonna have an effect, either positive or negative. Speaker 4:So it's, hey, how can we work with the natural world rather than against it? And that's been taken away by them. It had a big, yeah. Agribusiness and yeah. So I started working on farms when I was at Santa Cruz after graduation. Went on a, started managing a homestead up in the mountains. We're really, you know, we were breeding fish doing aquaponics, raising goats and chickens and Guinea fowl, you know, [00:16:30] all sorts of stuff. Um, and that's where I really kind of solidified my love of farming. After that, I came up here to the bay area. How long did you do that homestead? Oh, I was up there for a little under two years and then came up to the bay area. Did the urban outta my fellowship. Actually built the aquaponic system over there during my fellowship, was hired on to staff there. And they do here in Brooklyn. Speaker 4:So Urban Hodamont is a great organization. We're a Jewish community farm over at sixth and Harrison Street. We have a ton of different programs. Right now we're [00:17:00] running at summer camp. Uh, we do school field trips. We have a residential fellowship program for folks. 21 to 31. Uh, we're basically, you come, you, you're running the farm every day. You're ready, you're running our farm. Whether that's the goats, the chickens, making sure the drip irrigation hasn't gotten, you know, busted overnight. The pest management, everything. You're also getting, you know, mindfulness training, all sorts of stuff. Uh, social action. And what do you do with all of your food? So at the end of the day, or rather each week [00:17:30] we run a farm stand where basically those who identify as in need can come get the produce from the farm. Cause you know, we, it's free. Yeah. You know, when you, when you deal with most food donations, you know, it's packaged products, it's stuff that may not be the healthiest because it is stuff that has to be shelf stable for a really long time. Speaker 4:So we wanted to give people the ability to get fresh produce from here in Berkeley. Everyone deserves deserves that. So we don't have cows yet. How did you get involved [00:18:00] in the perennial farming initiative? It was co founded by a couple of chefs in San Francisco. How did they find out about you? My cofounders are Anthony Meehan and Karen Liebowitz husband and wife duo. Xtrordinair. They found admission Chinese food or shouldn't bowling club Commonwealth. Um, you know, a ton of great restaurants and have also been, you know, Karen's been a very prolific food writer and really instrumental in the, in the San Francisco area. You know, the perennial is their baby or rather Aviva is their baby. And when they [00:18:30] had, you know, when they had a child to think about, they really started having those kind of Meta thoughts about like, what am I, what am I doing to make the world better? Speaker 4:You know, how, how can we use restaurants to make the world a better place for our children. Um, and that's really what kind of inspired them to make a restaurant dedicated to fighting climate change. They had mapped out everything from the build out of the restaurant using all locally sourced materials, ones that had a lower carbon footprint, ones that would use less, you [00:19:00] know, using appliances that would use less electricity, less water mapping out the workflow of the restaurant. So it's even, you know, requiring less refrigeration, all sorts of stuff. But then they really wanted to take it to that next level and start to address sourcing of ingredients. That's when they, they approached me. I was working at a farm down in Watsonville. Um, we were commercial food service, but we also did, you know, classes for folks to come down and learn about us. Speaker 4:And, and you were also running urban and I was also running urban auto ma at the time or [00:19:30] running the aquaponics program at urban out of Ma. And um, you know, so they, they really saw this opportunity of, hey, we've, we're into aquaponics. We love this idea of using aquaponics as a way to divert food waste, you know, and use it as a resource to make something, you know, amazing and delicious that goes back to the restaurant. So then they invited you in and that's when this initiative actually, yeah, no. So we actually, you know, early on it was just the, just the perennial. Um, [00:20:00] so it was the restaurant came first and then we started to see just how big the need was. Uh, did you see that? Because when we started we thought it was going to be something that, you know, we were going to be struggling to get people to see the light as it were and we were just overwhelmed. Speaker 4:But the, the support that we got, you know, the interest, you know, we really see ourselves as kind of being very close to that inflection point in the food system. So what we're just trying to do right now is kinda give that [00:20:30] soapbox to sustainable producers and you know, consumers to say, hey, this is what we want. This is what I've got and how can we help each other? And how did you go about funding this initiative initially? Yeah, so initially the perennial ran a Kickstarter that allowed us to get the farm up and running as well as our composting program. All of that. We also do take direct donation, perennial farming.org you can donate today. So you donate, but you get something in return. You get many different things. Many choices. [00:21:00] Exactly. So we, you know, for us, uh, we have our adoptive sturgeon program where you'll get some updates and pictures and everything like that. Speaker 4:You can come by the farm, actually meet your sturgeon, you have the full tour. We also have a, we have all sorts of events that we run. So either a barbecue or a tree planting where you can come help out for the day, eat a fantastic meal, be in, you know, gorgeous scenery and really feel like you've accomplished something at the end of the day. I also read that if you give a certain amount of money, you can get meat [00:21:30] from Stempel farm. Oh yeah. From Stemple creek. Yeah. So, you know, they're one of our big partners on the carbon ranching side of things. So you know, for us it's like, hey, it's like a win-win because for us it's, if you give a donation and you know, for us we're good, you know, you're getting some meat. But then it's also gonna change your consumption habit cause you see how fantastic their product is. Speaker 4:You know, for a lot of people it's, it's this eyeopening experience trying like a grass fed grass finished burger or steak or anything like that. You know. So really it's, it's trying to get it out there [00:22:00] as much as possible for folks. So are you, the three of you are all working in this. What are you looking to in the future? Are there any new plans or new initiatives that you are involved in? Yeah, so the big thing that we're working on right now is actually a healthy soil guide for chefs. And basically what that is, is it's akin to the Monterey Seafood Watch list. You know the Monterey Bay Seafood Watch list where you can look at the list and you can see if you should be eating orange roughy or you shouldn't be eating orange [00:22:30] roughy. We wanted to make something so people could look, see the information about a soil organic matter, which is basically the, the strongest correlation to carbon secret castration we have and basically be able to compare one farm to another to the regional average. Speaker 4:We also kind of give folks the ability to see other practices. We re, we focus on soil, organic matter, but we also give the ability to mark if you say they're doing polyculture, uh, if they're also doing grazing, um, if they have [00:23:00] perennial agriculture and beneficial hedge rows, if they're no till all sorts of stuff. Are the groups, the farms that you're going out to to come onto this guide, are you meeting any resistance at all or are they all like, oh, this is a great idea? No, a lot of them definitely see it as a, as a great idea. It, you know, initially we've worked with a lot of our partners that we've been working through with the perennial. So you know, it's, it's a bit of, yeah, it's breaching competitive structure. So, so I think, you know, for most producers [00:23:30] they see more information about their product as a good thing because it gives them that, you know, it gives the outstanding actors in the industry more stuff to market on. Speaker 4:You know, there's, there's things that, you know, don't directly correlate into a financial gain, but marketing can kind of help solve a lot of that. So being able to say, hey, you know what, I'm producing 200 head of cattle less than I previously was, but I'm also now sequestering 20 times the amount of carbon in the soil or [00:24:00] this or that or that. You know, we wanted to, to really provide options for farmers, you know, cause there's no, there's no one silver bullet. So for us, you know, it's about having this really diverse toolbox so that producers can plug in on a variety of levels. We don't need a full commitment. We don't need you to totally change your production model, but if we can get you to do something that lowers your emissions by 3% annually, like absolutely, we'll take it and this guy is going to be available too. Speaker 4:So we should, the guides should be available to consumers [00:24:30] and chefs this coming year. Um, you can kinda check out our prototype online@perennialfarming.org if, uh, also if you're a farmer and want to, uh, get involved and get your soil tested, reach out. We'd love to hear from you. And you also talk about all the different projects, the aquaponics, regenerative wheat and carbon farming. So, yeah, and we also, we post our events on there. So if you want to, uh, the next time we do say a tree planting or a dinner party, anything like that, you can find out about it there. What do you think your biggest accomplishment [00:25:00] has been at the perennial farming initiative? I think our biggest accomplishments so far is kind of just changing the conversation. You know, changing the tone of the conversation, changing who thinks they can make change. Like, we, you know, every, you know, it's so cliche, but the just like, oh, you can make a difference. Speaker 4:Everyone, we need every, you know, but what we're trying to show is really, it is, it's, it's easier and more delicious. It's something that you'll, you will be rewarded [00:25:30] in the long run because everyone eats because everyone eats and everyone likes good food. I don't know anyone who doesn't like good food, you know, if you have the option of eating out of your own backyard, do it. You know, it's a, it's, you know, it's not, we, we oftentimes get kind of wrapped up in the, uh, the financial side of grow, like having a garden in your backyard too. But there's, there's this deeply psychological side of it. You know, I would say to two raised beds, [00:26:00] probably work out to a couple of Xanax, but, you know, but you know, it's, it's, you know, it's free therapy. You know, it's, it's work, it getting your hands dirty, being in nature. Speaker 4:Um, you know, it can be tough here in the city. Um, but hey, we're in California. We can grow anything on them. All year, very often, especially here in Berkeley when we're talking about environmentalism and when we're talking about climate change and where we're talking about creating, creating change in our system, we can take on [00:26:30] an attitude of doom and gloom and anger. And I think one of the things that I took away from my education at Santa Cruz that has been immensely helpful in my professional career and just my thinking about the environment is really you've got to hit people with optimism. You've got to show people that there's a way out, that there's a light at the end of the tunnel. If we're only telling people how bad their decisions are and we're not, we're not making any friends. [00:27:00] So rather than lead with, hey, shame on you don't do that. Speaker 4:We need to extend the olive branch. We need to be working with people that we disagree with and showing them that there are low hanging fruit abounding. You know, for a lot of folks, they're not making these decisions because they want to support the environment or they want to do this. It's, you know, a cold, hard economic decision for a lot of sustainability practices. It's just better for the pocketbook. For us. It's not about, or for me personally, [00:27:30] it's about hitting people where they're at. If you want to talk about a conservation biology and about, you know, saving species and forestalling deforestation, I'm happy to do that and would love to, I could talk your ear off, but if you also just want to talk about how these are sound financial decisions that are going to, you know, increase yield, decrease labor costs, decreased fertilizer costs and things like that as water decrease water use. Speaker 4:Also happy to just [00:28:00] talk about it from a financial point of view. If you studied biology in college, people need to start thinking about going into farming. Oh yeah. People need to be going. Young people need to be going into farming. Um, and I, you know, uh, talking to all you graduate students out there, you know, if you don't know what you want to be doing right now, think about farming it. It is, you know, problem solving. It's complex, it's complex. Um, it's challenging. You're always doing with new things and there is a need for you. You know, there are not [00:28:30] enough biologists out in the field. Um, there aren't enough young people out in the field. However, you can get involved, you know, have a garden in your yard, visit farms, you know, start shopping at the farmer's market. Whatever you can do. Um, just start the ball rolling. You know, it's not going to be an all at once. Systems change. It's going to be real slow, but it starts with, you know, single footsteps. Yeah. Tiny things. Thank you for being on the program. Nathan, thank you so [00:29:00] much for having me. Speaker 1:That was Nathan Kaufman, the executive director of the perennial farming initiative. He's also the director of living systems at the perennial restaurant in San Francisco, as well as the aquaponics program at urban automa and educational farm and community center [00:29:30] right here in Berkeley.

To look at the future of Harrison Street DIY Skatepark, I need to be explicit about a few things: First, they did build on land they have permission to build on, but no real agreement. They choose a little strip of abandoned land with all kinds of forces tugging at it from different directions. Governing everything is a court order. Second, the Harrison Street crew didn’t just build a skate park, they built a model to solve a problem; cash-strapped communities who want a public amenity often have a hard time paying for and building it. Finally, the skaters and their guerrilla take over of unused land created a model for civic engagement. One where a group of volunteers forges an open, meaningful relationship with their neighbors, and that sort of rebel alliance builds a community asset together. And that last one? It’s something political leaders and developers had better take note of.

One of the best ways to sharpen your palate and to learn and experience new wines is to attend a wine  tasting.  Having numerous producers at the same venue gives one the opportunity to economically contrast and compare regions and wines.  That said here are a few suggestions  you may want to follow to help yourself and others more fully enjoy the experience of a large format wine tasting.    Tips to Drink Like a ProGet a good rest the night before.  You'll want to be at your sharpestStay hydrated and  drink lots of water before during and after the tastingWear dark clothes.  You might not spill red wine but others mayOnce you have received your sample pour be mindful of others that may be behind you waiting to be served.  Questions are good, but if you have an inordinate amount of them to ask, simply make room for others as you converse.Taste and spit.. very few people look cool spitting, but you'll remember more.Have a good meal shortly before the tasting.  Consuming alcohol on an empty stomach is not a good idea.Have a game plan of producers you want to visit before you arrive and stick to your plan.  If you finish your list and you still have time you can wander around at that point.Respect others and don't wear perfumes or colognes.Tre Bicchieri San Francisco is an annual best of Italian wine events that we try to attend every year.   Slow Wine San Francisco also showcased only Italian wine and presented a challenge. This year's Slow Wine tasting was held at the Terra Gallery on Harrison Street at the base of the Bay Bridge.  It was a great setting and location.  The above referenced challenge relates to the fact that we were unable to get a list of the wines that would be poured beforehand.  We received  the list of producers when we arrived and trying to put together a plan for tasting at the last minute  proved time consuming and confusing.  We usually put together a firm list of producers' wines we intend to try before we arrive so that we can use our time wisely.  For tastings of this size (there were over fifty-five producers) failing to plan is the same as planning to fail.  We arrived on time after a satisfying lunch at Henry's Hunan Restaurant in the Financial district.  The smoked ham with green beans and the Kung Pao chicken really hit the spot.   The Slow Wine event wines are judged using a standard of which we were unfamiliar.  No one hundred point scale here.  The standards of quality for Slow Wine are keyed to a different criterion.  Their snail symbol is awarded to a winery that they particularly like for the way it interprets Slow Food Values ( sensory perceptions, territory, environment, identity) and offers good value for the money.  The bottle symbol is awarded to wineries whose bottles presented excellent average quality at their tastings. Finally, the coin symbol is awarded to wineries whose bottles are a  good value for the money.     We typically arrive early for events, so as to get a good jump on tasting before the event becomes crowded.  We were not the only ones that followed this strategy, for there was already a short line when we arrived.  Within the first hour of the tasting the place was packed, reminiscent of ZAP tastings from years gone by.  As a result we were not able to taste as many wines as we would normally.  We always try the white and sparkling wines first and follow those with the red wines.  As a result, we did not taste many reds, as the event was too crowded to navigate from table to table without lots of effort.  The wines we did get the opportunity to taste, as a group, were very good to excellent.  There was a good representation of wines from up and down the Italian peninsula, although  there weren't any wines from Aosta  or Liguria. This is understandable as these regions produce so little wine anyway.  It was surprising not to see any wines from Lombardy, especially since their signature sparkling wine Franciacorta has been receiving more recognition lately.  Wines from the southern regions of Calabria, Campania, Molise and Sardinia were not represented this year.  Several of the Cantine  at Slow Wine were currently seeking a distributor, so some of the wines we recommend may be challenging to find in the states.   Many of the producers were quick to tell of their embrace of organic cultivation methods, which they believed would preserve the health of their soils.  It became clear as we worked the room that most of the wines were made by small biodynamic and organic producers.   Listed below in two categories and in alphabetical order are our recommendations and approximate prices for the wines. Outstanding:Aquila del Torre 2012 Friuli Colli Orientali Friulano Aquila del Torre 2011 Riesling  Castelfeder 2009 Alto Adige Chardonnay Burgum Novum Riserva         Castelfeder 2012 Alto Adige Pinot Grigio 15 Castelfeder 2010 Alto Adige Pinot Nero Burgum Novum Riserva Canus 2012 Friuli Colli Orientali Sauvignon  Corte Sant' Alda 2009 Amarone Della Valpolicella  Fattoria di Felsina 2010 Chianti Classico Rancia Riserva G.
