Rancher, hay baler, contractor, winemaker... if Steve Ledson sat in our podcast studio any longer he probably would have admitted to several other jobs he has had over a varied life in and around the Sonoma Valley.
This week on the Sonoma Spiel podcast he talks about growing up in the northern Sonoma Valley area of Kenwood and exploring the woods that would become public parks like Annadel and Sugarloaf.
In a wide ranging interview we also hear about the vaunted Moon Mountain AVA, one of the top winegrowing regions in the United States, his passion for fly fishing and his quest for conservation of natural resources.
Every week our podcast guests answer YOUR questions about wine country and visiting Sonoma. This time Steve answered these Sonoma questions:
We're moving out of the area in 2 weeks: What are your "not to miss spots" for restaurants?
Is the Sonoma art walk continuing this summer?
I’m here in town for a few days and looking for someone to drive our car to take us wine tasting? Is this possible?
I was driving through Kenwood and I saw what looked like large, smoky campfires in the fields. What’s going on with that?
I keep seeing mannequins around Sonoma Valley wearing amazing dresses made of corks and champagne cages and all sorts of recycled items. What is this?
