The Sierra Nevada wine growing region may surprise many of our listeners as wineries are plentiful. Steve Kautz of Ironstone Vineyards in Calaveras County recently won the California Sustainable Winegrowing Alliance Community Award, and he is our guest on this program. Ironstone is located in the town of Murphys in Calaveras County. Steve grew up in the cattle business and eventually grape growing became part of the family business. Sustainability and community. A winning combination for great wine growing.

Many of those who have attended Premiere Napa Valley or the Willamette Valley Pinot Noir Auction are familiar with Fritz Hatton, auctioneer extraordinaire. For many, many years Fritz has also been a vintner, co-owner of Arietta Wine. Who’d have thunk? Fritz is always with a smile and even more great stories of the wine biz. I met up with him at Press Napa Valley to talk about this long running second career. A special thanks to Press for allowing us to record in their wine cellar.
