Hello, wine friends, and welcome back to part two of our conversation with Jason Haas from Tablas Creek. If you missed last week's episode, be sure to catch up, where Jason enlightened us on some rare Rhône varieties like Counoise and Terret Noir. In this episode, we're diving into a topic that's close to many of our listeners' hearts: sustainability and responsible farming. Tablas Creek became the world's first Regenerative Organic Certified winery in 2020, so Jason is the ideal guest to walk us through soil health, biodiversity in vineyards, and how even sheep and insects play a positive role in the ecosystem. We’ll also explore how to manage pests without synthetic chemicals and the advantages of cover crops. Plus, we’ll be tasting their fantastic 2023 Patelin de Tablas Rosé, now available not just in bottles but also in an eco-friendly bag-in-box format. We’ll chat about the environmental impact of packaging and whether premium wines in boxes could be the future. And a special thanks to Coravin, our sponsor for this episode, for giving wine enthusiasts the chance to explore wines one glass at a time without uncorking the entire bottle. Tune in for an inspiring chat, and don't forget to pour yourself something special!
