Sponsored by: River Road Family Vineyards and Winery

Today, we were joined by Ed Morris, the winemaker at River Road Family Vineyards & Winery! He shared insights into his innovative oak program, deepening our understanding of the winemaking process and how it harmonizes with nature. We also explored the Blue Bin product line, wines in 100% recycled bottles, highlighting their environmental benefits and ability to maintain the wine's quality - this reflects on both the artistry of winemaking and the significance of sustainability, presented through the lens of River Road Family Vineyards.
