The Wrap: Keith hosted this busy show and it was a fun one for sure. We appreciate all the participation of the folks listed below. We cannot do what we do without the participation of others in the industry and more importantly it is impossible to go Live on air without you the Listener… Thanks for your support !!!!
During this busy Radio day Bob Blue, Winemaker at Bonterra called into the studio to chat and we greatly appreciate it… He will be calling in again very soon. The man has a lot of info to share with you the listener. About Bob Blue: He has become one of the leading spokespersons in the country for the organic approach to winemaking, despite the fact that Bonterra is owned by the multinational drinks conglomerate Brown-Forman. And his speaking engagements take him to countries well beyond his own – to the U.K. for example, which buys over 50% of Bonterra’s production.
Blue’s leading argument is in favour of bio-diversity. It stabilizes the viticulture environment, he argues. Pests that might otherwise be a problem are controlled by their natural predators. Wasps eat leafhoppers for example; roaming sheep eat weeds. (As in fact do wild pigs, which have also been known to roam Bonterra’s vineyards.)
Since 2001 Bonterra has included an area in north-eastern Mendocino known as McNab Ranch, once a sheep farm, but now the site of biodynamic vineyards. It is home to what has become the estate’s flagship wine, The McNab, a Bordeaux-like blend, predominately merlot. Please visit them at www.Bonterra.com
