Florida Wines

We're taking Florida wines seriously! It might be one of the state's best kept secrets, but Florida wine-making is a billion dollar industry. There are dozens of wineries across the state, employing nearly a hundred thousand people, and Florida university research departments dedicated to viticulture. How can this hot, humid , fungus-friendly state support successful wine production? The Zest host Robin Sussingham talks to Vince Shook, president of Florida Orange Groves Winery, a tropical, berry and citrus winery; Chuck Hollweg, non-commercial hobbyist grape grower and wine maker; and Gina Birch, host of Grape Minds podcast from WGCU.
