IWP Ep76 George and John Jarvis - Vine Hill Santa Cruz Pioneer Winegrowers Today we’re talking about George and John Jarvis. Pioneer winegrowers in the Vine Hill area of the Santa Cruz Mountains. Their story is a good one and because we haven’t been in the Santa Cruz Mountains much for the historical episodes, there is some background info and other fun details, like 2 Charlies, the 3rd town in California and fires. One thing about the Jarvis’s is that real exact details are lacking a little.

Indie Wine podcast ·

2025/03/14

Today we’re hearing from Shane Hunt, Wine Buyer at Piazzas fine foods. Upon starting at Piazzas, Shane did a complete overhaul of the wine section, putting the focus on smaller, local, low intervention wines. We discuss what it takes to sell these types of wines in a grocery environment. How it feels to hook someone up with a zero/zero wine from Sonoma instead of a generic blend from a large brand. And what smaller producers can do to get their wines into the hands of a more casual wine

Today I’m talking with Pietro Buttitta from Prima Materia and Local Vines. After a career in food service Pietro has spent the last decade or so farming in Lake County at about 1400 feet elevation, focusing mostly on Italian varieties. He has also done some consulting and so we also discuss his fun new project in the Lamorinada area of Contra Costa County. The Lamorinda is a fascinating area, that I've always thought had lots of potential and it’s so close to Oakland with steep, interesting

IWP Ep72 Kanaye Nagasawa - The Japanese Wine Barron of Fountaingrove. Today we’ll be talking about the life of Kanaye Nagasawa. There is more than the usual backstory today but I think it’s important. At least half a dozen other characters in our story have lives that folks spend their own lives studying. Those around Sonoma County might know the beats of the story, if you aren’t familiar with it, we’ll be in Edo era Japan, Scotland, New York and Santa Rosa, California for a story involving war,

Their lineup now includes lovely Pinot Noir, in both a red and an earlier picked white version and starting in 2024 Pinot Noir from another Russian River Vineyard.

IWP Ep70 Charbono in California. Today we’ll be discussing the Charbono grape. It was planted early in California’s viticultural history and abundantly. It’s worth mentioning that soon after, plantings were being tried of every grape any grower could lay their hands on. We’re kind of picking up the story once people started studying a wide range of the plantings and finding how all the options fit together, what grapes should stand on their own, which could blend well with others, which

We discuss their first product - a stemmed spirits glass and the design process for a universal wine glass. It was all super interesting. I’ve been really enjoying the glass, with a variety of wines too, some Zins and field blends, Mataro, Syrah, a white blend, a Vermentino, a Pinot and some other

IWP Ep62 The California Wine Association (CWA) - Part 6 - The Dark Days. This is part 6 of my series on the California Wine Association. Last time we saw the CWA rebuild post earthquake and fire as they constructed the largest winery in the world, Winehaven, on the shores of San Francisco Bay. Despite that, they still gorged themselves on wineries and vineyards until it was too much and they had to get rid of them. The first true downturn of the CWA. During this time they also dealt with the

Most from fruit they farm and others from some of the best growers in Lodi. The wines are balanced with moderate alcohols and bright acids. We talk about

Today is part 4 in my series on the California Wine Association. “The Calamity Edition” Last time we saw the CWA gobble up their competitors after the end of the wine wars. They absorbed wineries, vineyards and wine houses. When they couldn’t purchase the entire company, they would get half. Allowing companies to operate with the veil of independence would keep the antitrust folks away. It was all fair game and
