Roadside Terroir Podcast: Farming for Terroir with Brenna Quigley

We were delighted to be featured on the final episode of Season 3 of the Roadside Terroir Podcast, hosted by geologist and sommelier Brenna Quigley, for an in-depth discussion on Regenerative Farming.

Tablas Creek was honored to be included in the conversation alongside sommelier Raj Vaidya, farming advocate Paul Wasserman, and inspirational producers including Chiara Pepe, Cyril Courvoisier, and Chisa Bize.

We particularly appreciate the host's clear and compelling explanation of this essential farming philosophy. Brenna Quigley defines regenerative agriculture in the most accessible terms we have encountered, emphasizing its core concept:

"Regenerative farming is a ray of hope for the agricultural industry that promises a way to feed the masses without bringing down the house in the process. And the key to saving the world is right beneath our feet: soil."

The episode, titled "Farming for Terroir," features a healthy dose of soil science, explores the future of the planet, and includes an appearance by our very own Jason Haas, Erin Mason, and Austin Collins, who share our experience as the world's first certified Regenerative Organic Certified™ vineyard.

Wine Business Monthly: Tablas Creek Social Media Case Study

In a recent Wine Business Monthly article, "Case Study: Using Social Media to Leverage Your Wine Brand," author Brianne Cohen featured Tablas Creek Vineyard as a "Mid-Size Winery" successfully integrating social media into its business.

The article quotes Ian Consoli, our Marketing Director, on the core mission of our online presence:

"Social media is important. It's how you bring people into your world. It's a personal look at what we go through daily and a way of exposing people to what goes on in a vineyard."

Fermentation Publisher Tom Wark to be Interviewed by Jason Haas

Tom Wark, publisher of the wine business commentary blog Fermentation, recently announced he will be the next guest on our ongoing interview series, "Conversations With Jason."

In his post, "The Art and Craft of the Interview and the Rules for Being Interviewed," Wark notes the unique position of winemakers initiating interviews and highlights Jason Haas's early engagement with media:

As many of you know, Jason is General Manager of the respected and celebrated Paso Robles winery, Tablas Creek—a Rhone Varietal specialist. Jason has been knee deep in the media as one of the first winery principals to produce a blog beginning in 2006. He has been actively communicating with his clients and the larger public since the beginning."

That interview is now available on our YouTube page:

Super Vino Bros Highlights Tablas Creek as a Landmark Producer in California Wine

The wine blog Super Vino Bros recently featured Tablas Creek Vineyard in their "Producer Highlight" section, calling the estate one of the "defining names in American wine."

The article traces our origins back to the collaboration between the Perrin family of Château de Beaucastel and importer Robert Haas, and recognizes our impact, calling our estate “a living library of these [Rhone] grapes, and the nursery they built on-site helped spread these plantings across the state.”

After meeting partner and general manager Jason Haas, the authors concluded with a clear recommendation:

Talking with him and his brother about the story of their family's project, and where American wine is headed, was a real highlight. If you come across their bottles in a shop, they're worth picking up. Tablas Creek is a serious operation.

Wine Buisiness Monthly: Revamping On-Premise Sales with Wine on Tap

In a new article by Sarah Brown exploring the resurgence of wine on tap, Tablas Creek is highlighted as one of the category's pioneers.

"Over the years, the kegged program has grown to account for 7% of the winery's annual wholesale orders, equivalent to just shy of 900 cases of wine, and now, in the tasting room, all tastings are conducted with wine poured from tap. Customers don't mind at all, [Jason] Haas observed, and it saves on wine waste and ensures a fresh, perfect pour every time."
