For the 64th issue of The Fizz, I spoke with Shannon Brock, co-owner and manager of Silver Thread Winery in The Finger Lakes. I had the pleasure of visiting Silver Thread when I was in the region a few months ago, and was excited by the dedication of their vineyard program and the passion of the winemaker and owners.

In this issue, Shannon and I speak about what bio-intensive viticulture means to Silver Thread, which products her and her husband, winemaker Paul Brock, use in the vineyards, and how they navigate the Finger Lakes—a tight-knit region with a lot of influence from nearby Cornell University. We speak about their vineyard location, how the region has changed, and Riesling in the global context of wines.
