Morgan Twain-Peterson and the Old Vines of California

On today's episode, Mark catches up with Morgan Twain-Peterson, owner, founder and winemaker of Bedrock Wine Company in Sonoma, California.  Morgan grew up in a winemaking family as his father Joel Peterson was founder and winemaker of Ravenswood.  Ravenswood started out as a side-hustle for Joel (as Morgan describes it), then it became the world's largest producer of red zinfandel. Since starting Bedrock in 2007, Morgan has become a bit of an old-vine guru and has rehabilitated numerous vineyards that would have otherwise been torn out.  He also wrote his Master of Wine research paper on the nurseries and dissemination of vine and rootstock post phylloxera in California from the 1880s onward.  Mark and Morgan get into the nitty gritty of California's history as well as recuperating these vinous treasures, soil health, regenerative farming, and so much more.   Useful links: Bedrock Wine Company Website: here Bedrock Podcast: here
