“Organic and Non-Organic Wine Production: A Comparison from Land to Bottle”
We are expanding the notion of “Know your farmer” or “Know where your food comes from” to “Know how your food is being made” in this episode.

We are also aware of the many other issues that organic production addresses when it comes to fruits and vegetables. But what does this mean for wine? Today we are walking through every step of both wine production processes.
