Vine & RiverAuthor: Russian Riverkeeper, hosted by Lenka Davis
Podcast Vine & River is hosted by wine director, author and Russian Riverkeeper board member, Lenka Davis. "Vine & River" aims to be a free educational resource for both the local and global farming community interested in water-sensitive, environmentally conscious farming. With this podcast, we are honoring the legacy of Paul Dolan, long-time Russian Riverkeeper board member and pioneer in Californias organic, biodynamic and regenerative viticulture movement. Paul was a voice of intelligence and reason, urging others to Farm Like the Planet Depends on It." Paul showed us that it is possible to employ farming practices that reduce the environmental pressure and pollution vineyards put on and in our rivers, and groundwater. He freely shared his expertise with the goal that farming better contributes to a better harvest and better environment. In this spirit, Russian Riverkeeper is starting a series of conversations with leading viticulturists and farmers on the confluence of viticulture and water.
