Description
Having never set foot in a vineyard before packing her Subaru with orchids and all other possessions Ashley Anderson set out across US for Napa and didn't look back.
Now, 16 years later Ashley is the vineyard manager at Cain Vineyard and Winery up 1,700 feet on Spring Mountain in the Napa Valley. She knows intimately the 87 acres that she farms for the Cain wines, especially Cain Five.
During this episode of the podcast Ashley tells how she is adjusting her farming for the current drought conditions, explains how "tolerance" is a major aspect of organic farming (Cain is about to finish their organic certification), she talks about the results after five years of trials with biodynamics, and most profoundly, Ashley describes why her and her colleagues at Cain are invested for the long term. All 16 of Ashley's harvests have been with Cain.
