A Tour of Preston Farm and Winery with Farm School at PSC
During our third week of Farm School at the Permaculture Skills Center, we were treated to a tour of the Preston Farm and Winery by Lou Preston himself. Lou is such a wealth of knowledge and wisdom that I though that rather than try to edit the tour down to a 15 minute video, I would just include it all and let you get the full experience. So grab some popcorn, and enjoy!
This is part of a series of videos documenting my experience as a student in the Farm School at the Permaculture Skills Center in Sebastopol, California. This is a 13 week program designed to give students a comprehensive understanding of permaculture, ecological design, and farming, as well as helping to mentor them into careers in the world of organic, and better than organic agriculture. I am enrolled in the Ecological Landscaper Immersion track of the Farm School, which means I will also be learning about permaculture and ecological design as it relates to the landscaping industry.
I am currently running a gofundme campaign to raise tuition funds for the Ecological Landscaper Immersion at the Permaculture Skills Center:

????????????SONOMA????????????
Sonoma is a perfect getaway when visiting San Francisco. It's situated 45 miles north of San Francisco. It's said to be as Napa Valley was 20 years ago, and it really feels genuine and picturesque. Make a stop in Sonoma City before entering the vineyards. Sonoma City is a beautiful little town with a historic town plaza.
On this episode of Next Stop, our show host Jon Olson, makes a stop in Sonoma Valley, and shows us a little more than just the wine country that Napa Valley is known for. Sitting down in one of the private luxurious patios, and enjoying their fine wines was definitely a treat as we get a gracious tour around the grounds, and talk about the wonderful Sonoma lifestyle.
We definitely will be back and explore more of what more Sonoma Wine Country has to offer.
Enjoy delicious wine and beautiful vineyards on the Napa and Sonoma Wine Country Tour. This full-day tour takes you to three of Northern California's best wineries and includes a stop for lunch in picturesque spots.

On this episode we feature the number one wine growing region in the country, California wine country. Of course we will taste some great wines, pair it with fabulous foods and meet some of the colorful locals. That’s how you do wine country. The fun starts now!
There are many fun ways to tour wine country, later on in the show we will tour by limo, but today we are with Getaway Adventures for a Sip n Cycle bike tour of wine country.
Alright you guys welcome to the Dry Creek Valley of Sonoma County, scored this spot right here as you can see, if you look behind us you’ll see all these vineyards that we have, but basically today’s ride is going to take us through some of the most beautiful vineyards you will ever see in this area. You can see the olive trees over here.
A lot of, still grape clusters left on the vines, big old oak trees here. This is it, the postcard baby! This what people come from all over the world to see. Go ahead and park your bikes right over here. Welcome to the Preston Winery here, we’re going to do a little wine tasting here. I want to introduce you to Robert here, he’s going to be pouring some wine for us today.
Alright you guys, welcome to a special treat here in the wine country, and that is sampling right out of the barrel. This is wine that has been aged now for a little while but we get to taste it before it hits the bottle, so this a really kind of special treat.
If you are a wine connoisseur, you probably store your wine. So here’s a little wine storage 101 for you. If you have a cooler, set the temp at 55 to 60 degrees, dessert wines at the bottom, whites in the middle, reds at the top. If you don’t have a wine cooler look for a room like this, no temperature fluctuations, cool, dry, perfect. Set the wines on it’s side, but never, ever, ever store your wines on top of the refrigerator. How many of you are just busted right now? Reason why, vibrations. Not good for the wine. There is your wine fast fact 101.
You know I was sort of the first,I mean, it was a long time ago. When I first came to Sonoma County, Santa Rosa there was so good food here, which was surprising because it was an amazing agricultural area. A winemaker friend of mine took me to what was then the best restaurant in town, and I will never forget this was the middle of summertime and here was all this wonderful stuff being grown around here, and this best restaurant in town was serving canned vegetables and I said ‘You know what, I could be a big fish in a small pond’.
Please, come up and join us for a moment. This is a rose of pinot noir. We make this from our best grapes, this has a nose, it has a taste. Key elements of wine in particular a pinot noir, even a rose of pinot noir is that there A, should be balance, but the three basic things is there is a nose, you have a smell, that the taste they call it the mid palette is consistent with the smell. And the after taste, or the finish is long and also consistent.
Now we can enjoy the pinot noir which is the hardest, often conceived of, I don’t want to start an argument with other winemakers or things, but basically this is generally considered the hardest wine to make. It’s a very thin grape, the balances are very, the farming it is a very difficult thing. It’s a many layered grape, it doesn’t have that much tannin, you just really have to do this right to get it so, this is really a, this is one reason we attracted our wine maker here, she really wanted to...
Well the unique part about Stark’s Steak House is there is several different ways to get your meat on. What I like to do is get several cuts on the table, several different sauces and just everybody get a little bit of everything.
