    Sam Kaplan

    On this episode of The Blackberry Podcast, host Sarah Chabot and Blackberry's vice president of food and beverage, Andy Chabot, sit down with Sam Kaplan, one of the most acclaimed winemakers on the California coast. The trio traces Sam's unconventional path to the vineyard, starting far from wine country on an Oklahoma farm, and changing course entirely during a trip to Spain. Sam opens up about following his gut and how that’s guided him since his early days in Napa Valley and into the present for the sought-after wines he makes today. From his childhood farm to his latest vintage, his respect for the soil makes him a true kindred spirit of Blackberry.

    Chris Osborne & Christen Waddell

    This week’s episode of The Blackberry Podcast is a conversation about teamwork — with other people, with animals and with the land. Host Sarah Chabot is joined by Blackberry Farmstead Director Christen Waddell to talk with Blackberry Farm’s cheesemaker, Chris Osborne, about what it means to work with nature to create something great. It’s easy to admire a delicious cheese when we enjoy a bite of it, but this episode shines a light on what a process it is to get there. True experts in their fields and two of the Blackberry team members behind the award-winning cheeses that come from Blackberry Farm’s creamery, Chris and Christen offer a behind-the-scenes look at fostering a good environment for the animals, how nature influences flavor and what’s unique about our sheep’s milk exclusive production. Chris shares how ingredients from the Blackberry Farm Garden have been used to create unique recipes and offers tips for the best way to enjoy your favorite cheeses served at home. If you love cheese, this is the perfect opportunity to get into a little of the science and expertise behind it from the thoughtful perspective of dedicated artisans.
