Listen Later

Welcome back to another episode of "Beats, Vines & Life"! This time, we have the pleasure of hosting Morgan Twain-Peterson, a Master of Wine and co-owner of Bedrock Wine Co. Join us as we delve into Morgan's multifaceted journey—from his love for trail running, his college days at Vassar, and intriguing familial ties to the Manhattan Project to the evolution of Bedrock Wine Co. Learn how his pastimes and academic ventures influenced his winemaking career, and how Bedrock turned from a small startup into an industry staple.


In this episode, we also explore Morgan’s unique perspectives on sustainable agriculture, non-tillage practices, and his aspirations for regenerative organic farming. We'll discuss the challenges and triumphs faced in producing world-class wines with a strong focus on preserving the heritage of historic vineyards.

Moreover, Morgan shares fascinating anecdotes from his personal and professional life, including his schooling on the East Coast, experiences at wineries around the globe, and his passionate commitment to wine education.


Get ready for engaging conversations on the art of winemaking, the significance of old vine Zinfandel, and a playful wine game segment we call "Slap, Lick, Fondle." Whether you’re a wine enthusiast or simply curious about this rich tapestry of stories, there’s something here for everyone. 

So grab your favorite glass and join MJ Towler and Morgan Twain Peterson as we explore the vibrant world of wine, lifestyle, and everything in between!
