"The Good Stuff" - Episode 34: Trione Vineyards And Winery

In this episode of "The Good Stuff" presented by the Sonoma County Winegrowers, hosts Virginie Boone and Karissa Kruse talk with Denise Trione, Sales and Marketing Director at Trione Vineyards and Winery, as well as her husband, Kris Hicks, Vineyard Manager for Vimark Vineyard Management and Trione Vineyards and Winery. Denise and Kris talk about their developing relationship that also dovetailed nicely into their family winery. The Trione Family has been growing grapes in Sonoma County for decades, and Denise decided that she wanted to make Trione wines with a small portion of the grapes, instead of selling all of the fruit to other winemakers. Kris manages about 700 acres of grapes, including those grown by Trione and for other clients. Because of the expansion into vineyard management, they have been able to employ 60 workers year-round. Denise is very proud of their new winemaker, John Duckett, who joined Trione in 2022 after their 17th vintage. And finally, Virginie and Karissa share their Tuesday Night wine picks.
