Today, I’m speaking with John Martini, who along with his wife Ann, began planting grapes in the Finger Lakes in 1973 after a move to the region from New Jersey.  John and Ann have managed to build a family run Finger Lakes wine brand on the West side of Seneca Lake with Anthony Road Wine Company, endured hard times and great times, and have crafted a legacy their four children and their spouses have a right to be proud of today.  This interview comes as John has passed the torch to his children, and ensured the winery is in good hands for the next generation.  ___________________________________ In Season 2, only select interviews will accompany a YouTube version of the podcast.

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving, and welcome to Season 2! Download the podcast on your favorite app for more content! Today we are speaking with Phil Plummer of Montezuma Winery, as well as Idol Ridge and Fossenvue Wineries. Phil's work with these wineries and brands is broad in scope, but some of his small lot projects had come to my attention for their purity, clarity, and deliciousness. Our broad and wide ranging conversation visits deep dives on winemaking, art, music, and social commentary. Phil understands much more than winemaking, but he certainly is mastering the art. ___________________________________ In Season 2, only select interviews will accompany a YouTube version of the podcast.
