This week on Greenhorn Radio Sev celebrated her 50th show and spoke to Andrew Mariani of Scribe Winery. Learn about the rich history of this Sonoma Valley vineyard stretching back to the 1850's, through a sordid prohibition past of Road Ridge bootlegging, into a sustainable and delicious future. Tune in to learn how Scribe is breaking up the standard vineyard monoculture, rebuilding the local ecosystem for the better, and how it all stretches back to a life-changing trip to Europe. This episode was sponsored by Hearst Ranch: purveyors of grass-fed beef grazing on the beautiful coast of San Simeon, CA.
