My guests for this very special Episode Twenty-Eight of the Fermenting Place [podcast] are Mike and Claudia Weersing (formerly) of Pyramid Valley Vineyards, Waikari, New Zealand. This stellar couple established Pyramid Valley in 2000, and sold in 2018. Tragically, Mike passed away last year, in 2020. I found this recording of my conversation with Mike and Claudia while digging through old folders and files on my computer, just a few weeks ago. I listened to the interview in full, and it remains one of the most treasured interviews I've ever done.

This interview was never intended for broadcast - so the audio isn't as sharp as usual (apologies). The interview was originally turned into a two-part feature on my former website, The Wine Idealist, as The Empyrean (Part One), and Transcendence (Part Two). These two stories were recently turned into a published article for Organic Winegrowers New Zealand 'Organic Matters' magazine (Autumn 2021). As you will hear, both Mike and Claudia are in fine form, articulating their thoughts and ideas around wine and wine-growing. I thought it was important to let the world hear it.

In Episode Twenty-Eight, Mike, Claudia, and I discuss...

The Search for Pyramid Valley
Liquid Geography
Rock Explosions
The Affinity between Grape and Ground
Wine-growing in the Old and New World
A Brief History of Burgundy
Biodynamics
And Much More...
