In this episode, we get into a lot from where the idea came to start growing and making wine in Vermont to its challenges as she successfully makes amazing natural wines in this environment. We also talk about her love of travel, the biodynamic practices that have been instilled in her, and her new book, An Unlikely Vineyard.
