THE RAPTURE OF BIODYNAMIC WINE with Barbara Gross of Cooper Mountain Vineyards
Episode 101
Thursday, December 12, 2024 • Duration 01:37:51
Today we salut the multidimensional medicine of the vine with Barbara Gross of Cooper Mountain Vineyards!
Barbara is a visionary in organic, biodynamic, alternative viticulture. As a second generation, natural wine grower and purveyor, our guest has faced countless challenges on a daily and multi-generational scale. Her family has devoted the last 46 years to transform conventional vineyards in Oregon's Willamette Valley into thriving, biodiverse, regenerative ecosystems; specializing in the cultivation of Pinot Noir (a varietal of grape most sensitive to environmental stress and the fluctuations of climate change). Through it all, Barbara has emerged as a sort of wildly down to earth, renegade leader in the wine industry.
Tune in, pour yourself a glass of healing wine or tea and muse upon this Dionysian thought: could biodynamically farmed and alchemized wine help save our beloved Earth?
COVERED
Barbara's legacy of wine stewardship at Cooper Mountain Vineyards
