episode Wine Fringe - Skyhound: A Drone Spraying Deep Dive cover

Wine Fringe - Skyhound: A Drone Spraying Deep Dive

In this episode of Wine Fringe, the crew sits down with Tyler Richards, owner and operator of Skyhound Drone Services, for a conversation focused on one of the most debated topics in modern viticulture: drone spraying in the vineyard. Driven by a strong interest in drone technology, Tyler’s career path led him from software sales with the federal government to working with the DJI sales team before eventually launching Skyhound Drone Services. Today, Skyhound specializes in agricultural drone spraying for vineyards and orchards, alongside other drone applications including deer recovery, construction progression work, LiDAR, topography, and real estate videography. The primary focus of this episode is vineyard spray programs and the growing conversation around drone spraying versus traditional tractor spraying. As something the Wine Fringe team has openly been on the fence about, this episode became an opportunity for an honest and candid discussion about the realities, benefits, limitations, and future potential of drone applications in the vineyard. Rather than approaching the conversation as a hard sales pitch, Tyler focuses heavily on education and helping growers better understand what drone spraying can realistically offer their operation. He welcomes conversations with vineyard owners and managers who may still be skeptical or unsure, encouraging people to simply start the discussion and learn more about the possibilities the technology presents. From labor and efficiency considerations to innovation within vineyard management, this episode offers an open-minded look at a rapidly evolving side of the wine industry and the role drone technology may play in its future.

Wine Fringe - Missouri Finale: Noboleis Vineyards

In this episode of Wine Fringe, the crew visits Noboleis Vineyards, a family-owned winery built on legacy and evolution, where the business was passed down from Chris’s parents to Chris and Angie. What began with heart has grown into something more structured and strategic, as the next generation works to give the business its backbone while honoring the foundation it was built on. We sit down with Angie and head winemaker Gabe for a conversation that dives into what it looks like to carry that legacy forward day to day. Angie shares insight into stepping into ownership, balancing long-term strategy with the inherent risks of running a modern winery, and helping shape the future of the business alongside Chris. The conversation also highlights Noboleis Vineyards’ strong sense of community and its deeply collaborative company culture. With a team made up of creative, driven individuals, the focus goes beyond operations. It is about building an environment where new ideas are encouraged and innovation is part of the everyday. Gabe brings perspective from the cellar, where his leadership centers on empowering the winemaking team to experiment, contribute, and take real ownership of their work. It is a philosophy that extends across the winery and reinforces a culture of trust and creativity.

Wine Fringe - Wine Fringe Goes Midwest: The Recap

We’re Back — And We’ve Got Stories. Did You Miss Us? 🍷 This time we’re unpacking a trip that put Wine Fringe squarely in the middle of Norton country after being invited to speak at the Midwest Wine and Grape Summit. Serving as the opening speakers for a general session to kick off the Summit, Jill and Jake reflect on what it was like to step onto that stage, share their work on collaborative wine initiatives, and connect with producers from one of the most historically important wine regions in the United States. But the conference was only part of the story. While in Missouri, Jill and Jake sat down for two in-depth conversations with producers who have played a major role in shaping the legacy of Norton: Noboleis Vineyards and Stone Hill Winery. It’s thoughtful, candid, and a little bit road-trip fueled. It’s Wine Fringe. 🍷
