Allí aprendió una serie de herramientas que lo llevaron a vivir distintas experiencias luego, desde trabajar en una Trattoria en Italia que fue galardonada con una estrella Michelin hasta trabajar en otros lugares también muy reconocidos como Scribe Winery en California y Pujol en CDMX.Su historia es una muestra de pasión y vocación que nos pone en evidencia cómo a través de estos grandes motores podemos lograr lo que nos proponemos y ser felices en el proceso.
Scribe Winery sits on pre-prohibition vineyards and is managed by fourth-generation California farmers Andrew and Adam Mariani. Their skin fermented Chards, Pet-Nats and more are changing the way we view California wines.
I'm excited to invite you to an insightful conversation with Stephen Carter. Stephen is a farmer at Scribe Winery, and grows the delicious farm-to-table fare for Scribe's tasting room in the Sonoma Valley. Stephen became interested in growing while employed at the famed restaurant Chez Panisse. Working in the farm-to-table fine-dining world, Stephen discovered how high-quality ingredients transformed even the simplest meals. He relocated from San Francisco to California's wine country to learn natural process agriculture at Green String Farm. I first met Stephen back in November of 2019. I toured his tasting room farm operation. We discussed the obstacles young farmers face, especially those without land access or start-up capital from family. These generational wealth barriers make it nearly impossible to get a farm up and running. As one of a handful of Black farmers in California's wine country, he isn't one to sugar coat the deep systemic issues that prevent people of color from considering a career in agriculture. Stephen wants to dispel stigmas and stereotypes and help even the playing field so that more people of color have a pathway into farming. One day, he plans to build a farm of his own, where he can continue to share his love of great food and sustainable agriculture.urbanexodus.cominstagram.com/theurbanexodusfacebook.com/theurbanexodusFive Organizations to Support in Agriculture:Black Farmer Fundblackfarmerfund.orgA community investment fund for growers of color in New York stateSoul Fire Farmwww.soulfirefarm.org/Training and resources for black and indigenous farmersNative Food Alliancenativefoodalliance.orgA non profit that brings urban, rural, and tribal communities together to help enhance native foods systems, food sovereignty, and keep traditional food knowledge and power in the hands of indigenous communitiesBlack Urban Growers blackurbangrowers.orgCommunity building for urban and rural black farmers - hosts events and national networking conferences to build spaces for connection, support, and help for black farmers.Native American Agricultural Fundhttps://nativeamericanagriculturefund.orgThe largest US philanthropic effort for native farmers and ranchers
Kathryn and Tug are gearing up for Thanksgiving and the Holiday season. What makes a good wine for a big feast? Kathryn lays out simple criteria for choosing the right bottles to pair with your smorgasbord. “Nouveau” reds are all the rage this year with many California wineries, a style inspired by the traditional November release of Beaujolais Nouveau. Kathryn explains this trend, and what makes it unique. The couple also relishes the joy of sleeping in until 5:30. Kathryn gives a shoutout to the Double Shift podcast, and Tug thinks this year is the perfect time to reconnect with Jerry Garcia. The Wine of the Week is the Scribe ‘Nouveau' Pinot Noir, Carneros, California 2020!

Valley Bar & Bottle is a neighborhood restaurant, wine bar, and wine retail establishment that simultaneously reveres and revitalizes Sonoma cuisine and hospitality. Launching as a dinnertime restaurant, Valley will gradually incorporate daytime services. Valley aims for a sustainable approach to all aspects of its business, from waste-reducing and eliminating practices to radical intentionality behind the economy and environment they will create for their employees. As Sonoma locals, they’re looking for creative ways to support and promote the community. They are dedicated to making sure those that work alongside them are able to live fully in the place they serve. Lauren Feldman and Tanner Walle, two of the co-founders, manage the small front-of-house team, while co-founders Emma Lipp and Stephanie Reagor helm the back-of-house. The beverage program includes local producers as well as imports, with an emphasis paid to organic & biodynamic agriculture practices. The menu is driven by the availability of seasonal produce and the offerings of local purveyors, and influenced by the team’s travels and personal history. Lauren was born and raised between Sonoma and Santa Rosa in Sonoma Valley. Her studies took her to Indiana, Italy, and then New York, where she became immersed in the food and wine world. Her professional background is in wine sales and branding with an emphasis on restaurant beverage direction + management, winery hospitality + management, brand development and event production. With over a decade of hospitality and beverage management experience, Lauren has managed restaurants & wine lists from New York (L’Artusi, Anfora, west~bourne), to Nashville (Husk), and back to her native California (Molina, CALA). In 2010, Lauren returned to Sonoma County to develop a closer connection to wine production, starting with launching the hospitality program at Scribe Winery, where she managed the tasting room and events for 4 years. As a harvest intern at Foradori Winery in 2014, Lauren affirmed her passion for biodynamic practices and natural winemaking. In 2015 she started SurPointe, where—with a focus on like-minded producers—she has launched wine brands, grown restaurant beverage programs, and overseen creative collaborations bridging the divide between wine and hospitality communities nationwide. In 2016 she oversaw the creative development and implementation at Napa newcomer Ashes & Diamonds as Director of Sales and Marketing. That same year she received her WSET Diploma certification. After juggling many roles and tasks at once, Lauren is eager to bring her varied skills together to build a program and community in Sonoma, the town where she was raised and has again called her home for the past 9 years. Tanner Walle’s career in hospitality spans over a decade, with rolls as both GM and beverage manager for some of New York City’s most well-known wine establishments. Most notably, under the guide and mentorship of James Beard Award-winning sommelier Paul Grieco, Tanner oversaw operations and hospitality at Terroir wine bars, a quintessential helm for both aspiring and veteran wine professionals alike. There, Tanner would help to craft and pioneer a wine and hospitality program many restaurants and wine bars still model today. In 2015 he orchestrated the opening of The Riddling Widow, a discrete Champagne bar frequented primarily by winemakers and other industry pros. Beyond restaurant work, Tanner spent much of his tenure in NYC as a consultant for many large-scale wine and hospitality events, including with NBC, Bon Appetit, Food & Wine, PBS and LinkedIn. Tanner would also contribute on panels for NY Champagne Week, Social Media Week and New York Cider Week. Tanner is excited to bring his New York City expertise and love for hospitality and beverage education to the community of Sonoma.
As of Tuesday, October 10th at around 6pm EST there are over a dozen wildfires raging throughout Northern California. The fires are concentrated in the wine and agricultural centers of the state in Napa and Sonoma Counties, where 12% of the state’s grapes are grown. On this episode we are providing up to date information on the impact this disaster is having on the residents of this region and how it is affecting the area’s food and wine producers. We are joined on the phone by Brian Kenny of Hearst Ranch and Adam Mariani from Scribe Winery to get their local perspectives and reports. Scribe Winery issued this statement on Tuesday afternoon: "We are heartbroken by the devastation the wildfires have caused to both the Sonoma and Napa Valley. We have been up for the last two nights working alongside the incredible Cal Fire and the local fire departments to keep the fire at bay. It was a very close call. If not for them this place we have called home for over a decade would be gone. We are also so thankful to the community and our friends for coming out to help over the last few days. Although Arrowhead Mountain is scorched, we are so grateful that the Hacienda and the other buildings have been spared. We are incredibly fortunate and appreciate the messages of love and support. Our thoughts and prayers are with the people who were not so lucky. It's beyond devastating." The full personal, economic, and environmental impact of this devastating natural disaster will likely not be known until the fires have been controlled. HRN On Tour will be keeping you up to date on how the fires are affecting our food and wine producers and how you can help those in need. We will continue our coverage in a special segment of this week’s HRN Happy Hour, Thursday evening at 5pm, where we will be joined by more voices of Northern California’s food world. *Map Data © Google 2017.

This week, Farzad and Jana ended up drinking. A lot. In Episode 4, Jana regales us with tales from her afternoon at Scribe Winery in Sonoma where she attended an Outstanding in the Field dinner. Farzad tells the story of Jana the Friend Stealer and his Sunday Funday with a beer filled bathtub.
On this week’s episode of In the Drink, Joe is joined in the studio by longtime colleague and friend Lauren Feldman. Born and raised in California wine country, Lauren Feldman got her start in wine while studying abroad in Italy. It was in Italy where she fell in love with wine, the craft and the stories in wine that connect us to our history and to our earth. Following college, Lauren moved to New York City where she began working for a small, new Italian restaurant called dell’anima. Here, she would begin to refine her focus and passion for Italian wines, eventually opening two more restaurants over the course of three years with her coworkers and dell’anima family. During her time in New York City Lauren learned much about wine, but most importantly, the regional bond between the wines and the place – how, in Italy and most of the world, the wine, food and culture are all one. In 2010, Lauren returned to California with a new sensibility for wine culture and business. Shortly thereafter she began working for Sonoma’s SCRIBE Winery, where she would develop and maintain the hospitality program. She later moved to Nashville where she ran the wine program for Sean Brock’s HUSK. These days, Lauren corrals all of these skills obtained throughout her early years in the industry to consult on restaurant wine programs – namely CALA in San Francisco and Molina in Mill Valley – as well as winery sales and hospitality throughout Northern California.
This week on Greenhorn Radio Sev celebrated her 50th show and spoke to Andrew Mariani of Scribe Winery. Learn about the rich history of this Sonoma Valley vineyard stretching back to the 1850’s, through a sordid prohibition past of Road Ridge bootlegging, into a sustainable and delicious future. Tune in to learn how Scribe is breaking up the standard vineyard monoculture, rebuilding the local ecosystem for the better, and how it all stretches back to a life-changing trip to Europe. This episode was sponsored by Hearst Ranch: purveyors of grass-fed beef grazing on the beautiful coast of San Simeon, CA.
