Trampling out the Vintages at Hopewell Valley

Wine is a tough business.  Host Bart Jackson takes you on a remote broadcast to Pennington,  N.J.’s Hopewell Valley Vineyards where owners Sergio and Violetta Neri lovingly grow a wide range of fine varietals and magically transform their juice into true Dionysian nectar.   In addition to creating a tasteful offering of award-winning wines, Sergio and Violetta have developed their winery into a tourist destination, which has become the hub for local jazz top talents, all enjoyed with full-bodied vintages and brick oven pizza served in Hopewell Valley’s elegant halls.  Tune in and learn the continual cycle of labors demanded in the vineyard, and take note of a creative business model by which a farm has become a state-wide entertainment draw.
