In this episode of Harvesting Wisdom, Mike McMahon sits down for a thoughtful conversation in France to explore the deeper story behind wine — not just as a drink, but as a reflection of place, soil, culture, and memory.
Together, they discuss the importance of terroir, the character of Semillon grapes, the role of limestone soils, and how biodynamic and regenerative practices can support healthier vineyards and more expressive wines. The conversation also touches on climate change, farming challenges, wine as part of culture, and why the best wines are connected to the land and the people who care for it.
This episode is perfect for anyone interested in wine, sustainable agriculture, soil health, regenerative farming, food culture, or the relationship between people and place.
