Exclusive access to bonus episodes!The is a Vintage Selection from 2005
The Banter
The Guys talk about urban and suburban grape and olive growing and why they CAN Believe It’s Not Butter.
The Conversation
The Restaurant Guys talk with Ted Hall about terrior, and hidden olive orchards and consecrated olive oil. Ted tells how organic, sustainable practices yield the highest quality products and the happiest farmers.
The Inside Track
The Guys discuss the symbiosis of wine and food and Ted shares feedback he’s gotten from chefs pairing his wine with their dishes.
Ted: What you're creating is wine that really is part of the food. There are so many of these wines, which are basically a bottle of some guy's ego. Why do I want this other guy's bottled ego on the table?
Francis: I don't. Usually I'm sitting across from Mark who's got his own ego sitting in the chair across from me. Why would I need a bottle of wine?
Mark: It's not in a bottle. It's out there!
Bio
In 1989 Ted Hall co-founded Long Meadow Ranch, an innovative group of family-owned companies producing grapes and ultra-premium wine, olives and extra virgin olive oil, grass-fed beef and lamb, and fruits and vegetables, using diversified, organic, and sustainable farming methods.
Ted is the recipient of the 2017 Grower of the Year Award from the Napa Valley Grapegrowers and the 2013 Acre by Acre Award from the Land Trust of Napa Valley. In 2015 Ted served as chair of the Agricultural Protection Advisory Committee (APAC), a 17-member commission appointed by the Napa County Board of Supervisors.
Ted is a former chairman of the board of The Robert Mondavi Corporation, a global producer of fine wines. Following a strategic review led by Ted, the company successfully merged with Constellation Brands to create the world’s largest wine producer.
Ted is also a trombonist and a sailor. He and his wife, Laddie, now live at Long Meadow Ranch in the Napa Valley where they also keep Haflinger draft horses.
