It's our second installment of the Jones Family Farm interview, and this time, Erin Fairbanks is talking to Jamie Jones in Shelton, Connecticut. Jamie Jones focused on Plant Science at Cornell University, and began the vineyard at the Jones Family Farm. Tune in to hear about Jamie's experiences at Cornell, his beginnings in the vineyard, and the Jones Family Vineyard and Winery as it is today. Tune in to hear about how the farm is dealing with farm transition, and how his family is working to keep the farm running. This episode was sponsored by Whole Foods.
"I've seen a lot of people with non-agricultural backgrounds getting back into farming" -- Jamie Jones on the Farm Report
"90% of our wine we sell directly from our farm. That's always been our family's philosophy; we've never really been into wholesale. We enjoy having people come visit the farm, whether it be to harvest strawberries, blueberries, pumpkins- it's the same thing with the winery...our mindset is to supply to the local market." -- Jamie Jones on The Farm Report

This week Unfiltered won't cry for Argentina because Argentina has come to the Heritage Radio Network studio in the form of Tomás Machado de Villefañe of Don Manuel Villefañe Wines. Tomás has become synonomous with Malbec and Torrontes in the wine world where his wines have garnered critical acclaim; the latter's 2010 vintage has been named by Wine Enthusiast as one their Top 100 Wines. On the show they try both of these fine vintages, talk about differences of higher-elevation grapes and the rising popularity of pumpkin wine, just in time to make the most out of your Halloween leftovers. This episodes is sponsored by Whole Foods Market.
