For Episode 63 of Read Between the Wines, we journey to the heart of Sonoma County, California, to meet Mark Beaman, head winemaker at Kenwood Vineyards. Known for its heritage and deep connection to the land, Kenwood is celebrated for crafting wines that reflect the unique terroir of Sonoma, including its exclusive use of fruit from the iconic Jack London Ranch.

In this episode, Mark delves into the rich history of Kenwood Vineyards, established in 1970, and its commitment to sustainability and tradition. He explores how Sonoma’s diverse terroir and the cooling influence of the Pacific Ocean shape the character of its wines, with a particular focus on the estate’s renowned Cabernet Sauvignons.

Listeners will hear about Mark’s fascinating career journey, from his upbringing on a farm in the Pacific Northwest to his time in the Peace Corps in Tanzania and his early winemaking days in Washington’s Columbia Valley.

This episode offers a blend of storytelling, winemaking expertise, and a deep dive into the art of crafting wines that evolve with time. Join us for an inspiring conversation with a winemaker who is as passionate about the land as he is about the wines he creates.
