Jon Tomaselli: Oral History Interview
This interview is with Jon Tomaselli of Torii Mor Winery. In this interview, Jon talks about his family’s legacy of winemaking and how he has carried that on in the Willamette Valley. Jon talks about growing up in an Italian family with a long history of winemaking. Living in Ohio, his dad and grandpa would purchase grapes from California to make wine at home. Jon first carried on that tradition while living in Arizona. Jon discusses moving to Oregon in 2006 when a job opportunity came up for his wife. After visiting earlier that year to purchase a house and go wine tasting, Jon was once again enraptured by the idea of making wine. The second tasting that trip was at Torii Mor Winery, where Jon introduced himself and asked for a job. Later in the interview, Jon talks about learning commercial winemaking under Jacques Tardy, Torii Mor’s head winemaker. After a very intense first harvest in 2007, Jon quickly made his way up to assistant winemaker. He is very proud of the cohort of people

videoExploring Narnia, Costaripa in Valtènesi introduction
Into Narnia (the winery and cellar) The winery at Costaripa Nicole leads us from the older winery tasting room to a nondescript door that says “Private.” “I call this my Narnia door,” she tells Michael. “You open it, and you are in a completely different world.” She’s right. From the elegant beauty of the tasting room, we step into a two-story room filled with large silver fermentation tanks. We enter onto a grated stainless steel walkway on the second level and head down metal stairs to the tiled winery floor below. Nicole tells us, “For my father, the most important thing is viticulture, the wine, and to have everything clean.” He says to make 1 liter of wine, you must invest 8 liters of water in cleaning everything.” Here, they use only steam for cleaning, no chemicals. We stand in what she says is the least romantic room in the winery. Here is where the technical aspects of winemaking occur. The tanks they have are doubles. One stacked on the other. The bottom tank is a

podcast· 14:35138. MVP: Why We Drink
You go into a bar intending to order an orange juice, but end up with a glass of wine in your hands… You swear you will only drink two glasses, but end up consuming a bottle … You weren’t going to drink, but you’ve had a hard day and after all you deserve it … Your friend bought a bottle of bubbly to celebrate her promotion and you don’t want to feel left out … You really would like to stop drinking, but never having another drink seems dull and dreary. If this sounds familiar, you’re in the right place. I get it. If you lead a highly functional life but find yourself unable to resist the pull of alcohol, I’ve got you. If you would just like to cut back, drink less in one sitting or perhaps give up entirely, I can show you how. This is a struggle you don’t have to live with. It’s time to stop worrying and start living. Today. In this episode, I explain why you drink, why you feel so conflicted about wanting and not wanting to drink, and why this means it’s totally possible for you to c

videoCan Wine Save The Planet, Biodynamic Vineyards
Commercially farmed vineyards add chemicals to the soil to maintain the health of the vines. In a biodynamic vineyard, this is maintained through the natural microbiome in the soil. These microbes are depleted by the lack of biodiversity, tilling, and chemicals that kill them off. Normal, natural soil in a natural ecosystem is filled with microbes that move the soil and allow nutrients into the vines. Biodynamics promotes biodiversity. While vineyards are a monoculture, by adding cover crops, riparian areas, gardens, trees, and livestock, you can build up the biodiversity on the farm, creating a full ecosystem that is much healthier. This type of agriculture also uses preparations. Rather than using pesticides to kill of unwanted pests, these preparations, made from natural ingredients from the property, help to spread the microbiome in the vineyard, and natural teas are added to compost to nourish the soil. You will often see owl boxes and raptor perches in these vineyards,
podcast· 45:35· Ep 94094: Vineyard Nutrition Essentials - Magnesium Fundamentals with Dr. Jaclyn Fiola
In this final installment of the Vineyard Nutrition Essentials series, Fritz is joined by Dr. Jaclyn Fiola, Assistant Professor of Soil and Environmental Science at Delaware Valley University, to unpack the critical role magnesium plays in vineyard health and productivity. Building on prior discussions around potassium, the conversation explores how magnesium functions as a key macronutrient, particularly as the central component of chlorophyll and a driver of photosynthesis and energy transfer in grapevines. Dr. Fiola explains that magnesium primarily originates from soil minerals, especially in darker, magnesium-rich parent materials, and that soil characteristics such as pH, texture, moisture, and cation exchange capacity influence its availability. There is a delicate balance between magnesium, potassium, and calcium, and nutrient competition can lead to deficiencies even when soil levels appear adequate. Listeners will learn how to identify magnesium deficiency symptoms, including
