The Vineyard Files
The Winemaker, The Workhorse, and The Sommelier
Three Perspectives. One Vineyard. Endless Stories.
The Vineyard Files is a behind‑the‑scenes podcast about unfiltered life at an Iowa vineyard and boutique winery, and explores Midwest wine, local food, vineyard and farm life, grape growing, and the craft of winemaking. Hosted by Suzie, owner, winemaker, and Introductory level sommelier; John, co‑owner and the vineyard, farm, and winery workhorse; and Andy, Certified Sommelier and GM of Prime & Providence, one of USA Today’s Top 20 Steakhouses in America. It's local wine meets local food!
Each episode delivers authentic conversations about real stories from the vineyard, winery, tasting room, and restaurant world--from three people with wildly different perspectives. You'll hear stories about success and failure, experimentation, imagination, and ambitions that may or may not be practical. Join them as they talk about grape growing, winemaking, sparkling wine (Suzie's favorite topic), hospitality, restauran
