In this first installment of a three-part vineyard nutrition series, Dr. Markus Keller joins us to break down one of the most influential nutrients in vineyard management: nitrogen. We explore from the ground up. Dr. Keller explains what nitrogen is, where it comes from in vineyard soils, and why it plays such a critical role in vine growth, fruit set, and overall vine performance. While nitrogen makes up 78% of the atmosphere, vines rely on soil processes to convert it into plant-available forms like nitrate. Dr. Keller details how nitrogen influences vigor, canopy density, fruit set, berry size, phenolic development, and even wine quality. The episode also dives into how soil type, organic matter, temperature, moisture, and cover crops affect nitrogen availability. For growers across diverse regions, this conversation highlights why vineyard nutrition strategies must be site-specific. Whether you're managing high-vigor blocks or navigating lean soils, episode one of our three-part series equips vineyard owners and operators with foundational knowledge to make smarter nitrogen decisions. In this episode, you will hear: Nitrogen primarily comes from soil organic matter, not rock minerals Microbial activity drives nitrogen availability in vineyards Both deficiency and excess nitrogen can reduce vine balance and fruitfulness Soil moisture and temperature strongly influence nitrogen mineralization Leaf blade tissue sampling offers improved precision for nitrogen analysis Follow and Review: If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to follow the podcast and leave a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts!

“But Jesus… that's NOT FAIR!”Ever read the Parable of the Laborers in the Vineyard and think,“Hold up — that doesn't seem right…”In Matthew 20:1–16, Jesus tells a story that flips our sense of fairness upside down. Workers who labored all day get paid the same as those who showed up at the last hour.So what gives? Is God unfair?Or are we addicted to comparison?Do we actually want justice… or do we desperately need grace?In EP-180, we unpack: Why this parable offended people The danger of comparison in the Christian life Grace vs. entitlement What this reveals about the heart of GodIf you've ever struggled with jealousy, feeling overlooked, or questioning God's fairness — this one hits home.

In this episode of Inside Winemaking, Jim Duane sits down with Matteo Abreu, fifth-generation Napa Valley farmer and part of the Abreu vineyard management family, to explore what it means to grow and farm at the highest level in one of the world's most demanding wine regions. Matteo shares his path into the family business, the realities of multi-generational vineyard management, and how Abreu approaches vineyard site selection, soil preparation, drainage, and long-term vineyard design. The conversation highlights the importance of matching the right varieties to the right sites, with a particular focus on Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, and how disciplined vineyard preparation sets the foundation for premium wine quality. The discussion also dives into modern challenges and hands-on solutions in Napa Valley viticulture, including heat management strategies such as shade cloth, pre-irrigation cooling, and selective use of misting, along with crop load management and canopy decisions for Cabernet Franc. Matteo also shares insights into Abreu's small-lot winemaking philosophy, co-fermentation practices, and the limits of automation in both vineyard and winery operations. Beyond grapes, listeners will hear about Abreu's olive oil production, olive fruit fly management, and commercial blueberry farming, offering a broader look at how diversified, detail-driven farming supports both wine quality and long-term sustainability.

During a recent episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael sits down with Jill Edlich and Kary Haun for Tourism Tuesday — Shenandoah County Edition — to talk about an exciting new chapter unfolding at North Mountain Vineyard and Winery. What begins as a conversation about events and community quickly reveals something much bigger: a Renaissance fair founder has just stepped into life as a vineyard owner. As part of the ongoing Tourism Tuesday series highlighting destinations and experiences in Shenandoah County, the conversation explores how Jill's purchase of North Mountain is reshaping both the winery and the future home of the Ravenwood Faire. As listeners quickly learn, this isn't just a business transaction. It's a story about legacy, land, and local connection. The Perfect Match When Krista, the former owner of North Mountain Vineyard and Winery, decided to sell her beloved property, she wasn't just looking for any buyer. She wanted someone who would cherish the land and preserve its legacy. After waiting patiently for the right person, she found exactly what she was looking for in Jill Edlich—though the match came with an unexpected twist. Jill didn't set out to become a winemaker. Instead, she was searching for a permanent home for the Ravenwood Faire, the Renaissance-style festival she founded in 2019. For years, she had been hosting the fundraising event at the Frederick County Fairgrounds in Clear Brook, but the logistics were exhausting. Setting up and breaking down the event took nearly a week each time, and Jill dreamed of finding land where the fair could put down roots. From Fairgrounds to Vineyards When Jill discovered the 47-acre North Mountain property—with 15 acres planted in grapevines—she realized she'd found more than just a home for her event. She'd stumbled into an entirely new venture. "It's like those TV shows where someone says, 'Honey, I bought a zoo,'" Janet jokes. "And those people are like, 'I've never run a zoo before, but hey, we're gonna give this a shot.'" Jill laughs in agreement. Suddenly, she wasn't just an event organizer—she was a farmer and a vintner. "A lot of people say, 'So how does it feel to be a farmer now?'" Jill reflects. "And I'm like, wow. Yeah. I'm a farmer besides owning the winery." A Wine Lover's Journey Fortunately, Jill's leap into the wine business wasn't entirely blind. Years earlier, she founded the Wine Club for Women, organizing tastings and educational events throughout Frederick County, Winchester, and even Shenandoah County. She loved learning about wine pairings and vineyard operations, but eventually, the demands of the Ravenwood Faire consumed her time. Still, she never abandoned her dream of returning to the wine world someday. "It's kind of like a full circle," Jill explains. "Everything happens for a reason. That's always been one of my things for sure." Preserving Tradition One of Jill's biggest concerns when taking over the winery was maintaining the quality and character that loyal customers had come to expect. Thankfully, she inherited an invaluable asset: the winemaking team. Krista's son, John Jackson, stayed on as head winemaker, along with assistant winemaker Andrew Bender. Together, they're Jill's "wine-making gurus," patiently teaching her the craft while ensuring beloved wines like Toms Brook Red remain unchanged. "Rest assured, we've got Toms Brook Red and that's definitely not going anywhere," Jill promises. Beyond preserving existing wines, she's also excited to experiment with new blends and explore whether certain grapes can stand on their own rather than being blended. A Diverse Portfolio Currently, North Mountain offers an impressive selection. The white wines include Riesling, Oktoberfest, a standout Virginia Apple wine, Gruner Veltliner, Chardonnay, and Gewürztraminer Rosé. Meanwhile, the red lineup features Zweigel Red, Cabernet Franc (Jill's personal favorite), Petite Verdot, Chambourcin Foster's Reserve, Mountain Midnight (a port-style wine), the famous Toms Brook Red, a spiced holiday wine that can be served cold or warmed, and Clairet—a Bordeaux-style blend that's grandfathered in under a now-restricted name. Renovations and Accessibility Since closing on the property on October 31, 2025, Jill has wasted no time making improvements. She opened for business the very next day and immediately began renovations to make the winery more welcoming. The tasting room has been transformed into a clean, inviting space where large groups or dozens of small parties can gather comfortably. Most importantly, Jill prioritizes accessibility. She's adding a ramp to eliminate steps at the entrance, designating handicap parking spots, and extending the parking lot. Additionally, she's constructing a road, making it easier for visitors to access events—especially the Ravenwood Faire—without overwhelming the neighborhood. The Ravenwood Connection While the winery and the Ravenwood Faire are separate entities, they now share the same home. The Ravenwood Foundation will rent space on the property to host the fundraising event, happening in October: the 16th through 18th and the 23rd through 25th. The fair has grown significantly since its inception, particularly in its offerings for children. Last year, the kids' area was constantly packed, which thrills Jill and her team. "Every time I looked over in that area, it was just a constant," she recalls. "It made us feel really good." Beyond the fair, the foundation runs a week-long day camp for children ages 12 to 17, teaching outdoor skills like archery, bread making, and cooking over open fires. Last year's inaugural camp served 16 kids—a number that initially seemed small but proved perfect for working out the kinks. Moving forward, Jill hopes to eventually bring the camp to the vineyard property and possibly expand to overnight sessions, though logistical challenges like insurance and sleeping arrangements remain. Building Community Jill's vision extends beyond wine and fairs. She's actively partnering with local farms and artisans to host events like homesteading workshops, sourdough-making classes, canning demonstrations, and floral arrangement sessions. Every Saturday features live music, and the winery has already hosted trivia nights, bridal showers, and even a 35-person wedding in the great room. "It's really important for us to be working with our local community," Jill emphasizes. "Meeting other farmers now has been amazing." She's also been warmly welcomed by the Shenandoah Valley Wine Trail, a tight-knit group of winemakers who meet every other month at different vineyards. "I walked in there and everybody had open arms," Jill says. "It was an amazing feeling. I'm feeling the love for sure." Looking Ahead As spring approaches, Jill plans to extend the winery's hours beyond the current Wednesday through Sunday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. schedule. She's also reviving Oktoberfest—a tradition Krista maintained even in her final years—and giving it "a little more love." Perhaps most excitingly, Jill is exploring expanding wine production and potentially enlarging the cellar. With stunning sunset views, ample outdoor space, and a growing calendar of events, North Mountain Vineyard and Winery is poised to become a cornerstone of Shenandoah County's tourism scene. For Jill, the journey from Renaissance fair organizer to winery owner has been unexpected but deeply fulfilling. "I know how to drink wine," she jokes. "But to make it, that was a whole different ball of wax." Three months in, she's learning something new every day—and loving every minute of it. North Mountain Vineyard and Winery is located in Shenandoah County at 4374 Swartz Road, Maurertown. For more information, visit northmountainvineyard.com or follow them on Facebook and Instagram.

Transcript:Hu: A Balatonfüredi szél hidegen fújt, ahogy Bence a szőlőtőkék között sétált.En: The Balatonfüredi wind blew cold as Bence walked among the grapevines.Hu: Az ég szürke volt, és a hegyeken vékony hóborítás csillogott.En: The sky was gray, and a thin layer of snow glistened on the hills.Hu: Már közeledett a szőlőszedés napja, amelyet a család minden évben nagy odafigyeléssel várt.En: The day of the grape harvest was approaching, which the family awaited with great care every year.Hu: Bence azonban most valami mást érzett.En: However, Bence felt something different now.Hu: Nem az örömteli várakozást, hanem a gyomrában kavargó aggodalmat.En: Not the joyful anticipation, but a swirling anxiety in his stomach.Hu: Bence apja, Tamás, mindig is azt szerette volna, ha Bence viszi tovább a családi borászatot.En: Bence's father, Tamás, had always wanted Bence to carry on the family winery.Hu: A szőlő és a bor az ő életük része volt, generációkon átívelő örökség.En: Grapes and wine were a part of their life, a legacy spanning generations.Hu: Bence viszont másra vágyott.En: But Bence longed for something else.Hu: A festészet, a színek és formák vonzották, nem a szőlőprés és a hordók.En: He was drawn to painting, to colors and forms, not to the grape press and barrels.Hu: Tamás fújtatva dolgozott a tőkék között, Judit pedig vidáman vágta a szőlőt.En: Tamás worked tirelessly among the vines, while Judit happily cut the grapes.Hu: Mindketten büszkén tekintettek munkájuk gyümölcsére, de Bencének úgy tűnt, mintha ezek a szőlőfürtök láncok lennének, amelyek fogva tartják őt.En: Both of them looked proudly at the fruits of their labor, but to Bence, these grape clusters seemed like chains that held him captive.Hu: „Bencém, gyere segíts!En: "Bencém, come help!"Hu: ” kiáltotta Tamás.En: called Tamás.Hu: Fia bólintott, de lassan lépett közelebb.En: His son nodded but approached slowly.Hu: A kezében a metszőolló hideg fémből volt, szinte égette a bőrét.En: The pruning shears in his hand were cold metal, almost burning his skin.Hu: Munka közben gondolatai megállíthatatlanul kalandoztak el.En: While working, his thoughts roamed uncontrollably.Hu: Képzeletben már rég a vászon előtt állt, ecsetje a levegőben táncolt.En: In his imagination, he was already standing before a canvas, his brush dancing in the air.Hu: Nem sokkal később, mikor a nap kezdett hanyatlani, Bence úgy érezte, elérkezett az idő, hogy végre beszéljen.En: Not long after, when the sun began to set, Bence felt it was time to finally speak.Hu: Leszegett fejjel megállt szülei előtt.En: With his head bowed, he stopped in front of his parents.Hu: „Apa, anya…” kezdte ügyetlenül, „valamit mondanom kell.En: "Apa, anya..." he began awkwardly, "I need to tell you something.Hu: Én.En: I...Hu: én festeni szeretnék, nem bort készíteni.En: I want to paint, not make wine."Hu: ”Tamás arca megdermedt.En: Tamás' face froze.Hu: Judit azonban egy pillanatra felnézett, majd meleg mosollyal közelebb lépett fiához.En: However, Judit looked up for a moment, then stepped closer to her son with a warm smile.Hu: „Tudod, Bence, én is mindig szerettem a festészetet.En: "You know, Bence, I always loved painting too.Hu: Mikor fiatal voltam, festettem is pár képet” – vallotta be csendesen.En: When I was young, I even painted a few pictures," she admitted quietly.Hu: Ők ketten összenéztek, mintha most ismerték volna meg valódi önmagukat.En: The two of them exchanged a look, as if they were truly seeing each other's real selves for the first time.Hu: „Támogatunk téged, fiam” – mondta Judit.En: "We support you, my son," Judit said.Hu: Tamás bólintott, bár szemében ott bujkált az aggodalom.En: Tamás nodded, though a hint of worry lingered in his eyes.Hu: Bence csak állt ott, de most könnyedén vette a levegőt.En: Bence just stood there, but now he breathed easily.Hu: Érezte, hogy végre a saját útjára léphet, de nem kellett elhagynia a családját.En: He felt he could finally step onto his own path without having to leave his family.Hu: A tradíciókat, a szőlőt és a bort is valahogyan össze tudja majd egyeztetni a festészettel.En: Somehow, he could reconcile tradition, the grapes, and wine with painting.Hu: A délutáni nap eltűnt, és a hóval borított hegyek rózsaszín árnyalatúvá váltak.En: The afternoon sun disappeared, and the snow-covered hills turned a rosy hue.Hu: Az élet nem változott meg teljesen, de Bence tudta, hogy új utat talált.En: Life did not change completely, but Bence knew he had found a new path.Hu: Ablakot nyitott a jövőre, ahol a bor és a festészet közösen lehetnek részei világának.En: He opened a window to the future, where wine and painting could be a part of his world together.Hu: Mert a szív és a hagyomány együtt adtak új ízt az életének.En: Because heart and tradition together gave a new flavor to his life.

"I can't recall, Senator." In the 11th chapter of his Gospel, Mark describes a scene with "the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the elders." These prominent men lied in their answer to Jesus about John the Baptist. He knew they'd lied. Everyone knew they had lied. And they knew that everyone knew they had lied. Such beacons of righteousness! But just when we're about to write them all off, there is one - just one - scribe with a good question.

Just who do you think you are?! When Jesus dared to do some much-needed housekeeping in the Temple, the religious elite were furious. They challenged His authority. He challenged their authority... and identity... and destiny. Before the day was over Christ would checkmate the scribes, the elders, the Pharisees, the Sadducees and even the Herodians. It was a bad day to be a hypocrite. Here's Jim to open a sermon from Mark 12 called, Who Owns the Vineyard?
