042: Listener Questions Answered with Jim Duane Vineyard Underground

    • Education

In this episode, I have the pleasure of having a Q&A session with Jim Duane from Inside Winemaking. Jim has always been interested in winemaking and has been working in Napa Valley for over 20 years. Together, we are answering top questions submitted by listeners. We answer questions pertaining to replacing dead vines, digging in hardpan, natural pesticide use, and many, many more.
Listen in as we answer these questions, and if you have questions of your own, get in touch! We’d love to answer them on the next Q&A episode.
In this episode, you will hear:
If old vines produce fewer grapes.
If you have to break through hardpan and how far down you need to go.
Our thoughts on organic, biodynamic, and regenerative agriculture.
How much space vines really need.
What the best source of vine material is.
The significance of deep roots.
What natural pesticides can replace synthetic, chemical pesticides.
