Ep 165: You Down with ROC, Yeah You Know Me – Featuring Tablas Creek | Maha Estate

We were happy to participate in the latest episode of the Where Wine Takes You podcast, joining host Adam Montiel and Cris Cherry of Maha Estate for a deep dive into the impact of Regenerative Organic Certified (ROC) farming. The conversation explores how Paso Robles has evolved into a global epicenter for regenerative viticulture and why soil health is the foundation for the next fifty years of winemaking.

Paso has quietly become a global epicenter for regenerative viticulture, with wineries like Tablas Creek Vineyard and Maha Estate helping push the industry forward. This isn't just about what's in your glass. It's about what's happening beneath it. Soil health, farmworker fairness, and animal welfare, the pillars of ROC, are reshaping how wine is grown.

The episode breaks down the practical side of these certifications, from the role of sheep in the vineyard to the long-term economics of farming in a way that improves the land rather than just sustaining it.

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.
