Roadside Terroir

Are farming methods practical choices, or philosophical ideals? And which is more important when you're choosing a bottle of wine for your Tuesday night dinner table? In Episode 3: Farming Philosophies - Part 1, we get to the heart of what producers and professionals care about most when it comes to farming-- certifications, or intentions? The episode starts out with a deep philosophical inquiry with Abe Schoener of the Scholium Project and the Los Angeles River Wine Company, before digging into the reality of these concepts with the lovable and brilliant Chiara Pepe of Emidio Pepe--all with the added context and commentary by everybody's favorite exporter, Paul Wasserman of Becky Wasserman and Company.

Season 3 Episode 2: Verticals Join us for an inside look at one of the most celebrated tastings of the year: The Verticals Tasting at La Paulee.  In this episode we go behind the scenes to talk to some of the most inspiring Burgundian producers to see how terroir, tradition, and taste evolve over time --  and how this is all expressed in the glass. We'll geek about SO2 and trellising systems while tasting vintages that date back to the 90s with the people who know them best. We’re so excited to have you along for the ride!

What does geology have to do with farming? Could historic farming practices be the key to tackling modern climate challenges? How does a place shape the way vines are cared for—and how much does any of this actually matter in the glass? Season 3 of Roadside Terroir: Farming for Terroir is here! We're diving into all these questions (& more) in our brand-new season, exploring what it means to truly farm for terroir. In Episode 1: Why Farming Matters we: *  Meet Cyril Courvoisier, a rising star of Cornas, regeneratively farming its steep slopes against all odds *  Learn how tradition and climate change collide with the fearless Michelle Smith-Chapel in Beaujolais *  And hear from Rodrigo Soto of Far Mountain in Sonoma on whether great farming really changes how wine tastes From France to California, we’re driving deep into the dirt with some of the most visionary vignerons we know.
