🌿 International Year of the Woman Farmer Spotlight

This week, we’re proud to highlight Denise Trione, Managing Director of Trione Vineyards & Winery and a passionate advocate for Sonoma County agriculture.

Raised among her family’s vineyards and winery, Denise developed a deep appreciation for farming and winegrowing from an early age. After earning a degree in Business Administration from Cal Poly and building a foundation in commercial banking, she returned to Sonoma County to help launch Trione Vineyards & Winery alongside her family in 2005.

Today, as Managing Director, she continues to lead with a commitment to hospitality, community, and showcasing the agricultural excellence of Sonoma County.

Denise’s dedication to family farming, community leadership, and Sonoma County winegrowing reflects the important role women play in preserving agricultural traditions while helping guide the industry forward. 🍇

What do Zach Galifianakis, gardening, and agriculture have in common? More than you might think.

“Maybe we can get Galifiankakis to come visit some vineyards,” writes Virginie Boone.

In this week’s The Good Stuff, Boone explores Netflix’s surprising new series This Is a Gardening Show, where comedian Zach Galifianakis (best known for The Hangover) trades punchlines for planting tips, shining a spotlight on the people who grow our food and the joy that comes from getting your hands in the soil.

Part comedy, part farming lesson, and part love letter to agriculture, the series celebrates the beauty, humor, and humanity behind growing things — and reminds us why farmers matter.

🎙 Episode 138 of The Good Stuff airs today from 1–2 p.m. on KSRO 103.5 FM / 1350 AM!

This week, Karissa sits down with Ray Isle, Executive Wine Editor of Food & Wine magazine, for a special “on-the-road episode” recorded during the Healdsburg Wine & Food Experience, where the two connected between events for a conversation about wine, storytelling, and the people who make the industry so fascinating.

Tune in as Ray shares how a graduate school fellowship brought him to the Bay Area and sparked a lifelong passion for wine, leading him from harvest work in the Santa Cruz Mountains to a career that combined his love of wine and writing. The conversation explores the stories behind the bottle, the evolution of wine language and tasting descriptors, and the trends capturing consumers’ attention today — from chilled red wines to crisp whites and a growing sense of adventure in the glass.

Most importantly, Ray reminds us of something at the heart of wine culture: wine is fun. 🍷

“The plethora of alternatives today – organic brands, farmers’ markets, restaurants that prioritize fresh ingredients – is due in large part to decades of work by Mr. Petrini” writes Virginie Boone.

In this week’s article, Virginie Boone remembers Carlo Petrini, founder of the Slow Food movement and a global advocate for local agriculture, traditional food cultures, and the communities behind them. From Piemonte to Sonoma County, Petrini believed that food and wine connect us to the land, our history, and one another.

Boone explores his lasting legacy, his visits to Sonoma County, and the lessons he leaves behind for farmers, winemakers, and future generations.
