In this episode we visit the highly awarded Navarro Vineyards, run by a couple of seasoned hippies, and the appealing Balo Vineyards. Winemaker Alex Crangle enlightened us on the winery’s efforts to be thoughtful stewards of the land.

Travel with me to Anderson Valley in Mendocino County. You’ll learn the valley has a warmer climate to the west and a cooler climate to the east allowing for a wide range of wine varieties to be grown. In this first episode I visit Drew Family Cellars, Handley Cellars, and Husch Vineyards.
