The Fine Line Podcast: Balancing Hedonism & Health2 Nov 2021

Episode 29 - Diana Snowden Seysses

Do you feel overwhelmed when you think about climate change and what we can do to help? Or despair, or denial? Today, we talk to Diana Snowden Seysses about how we in the wine business (as well as those not in our business) can do our part. Diana was born and raised in the Napa Valley. She graduated from the viticulture and enology program at UC Davis in 2001, and has worked in both California and French cellars with Robert Mondavi Winery, the Araujo Estate, Domaine Leflaive, and Ramey Wine Cellars. In 2003, Diana became the enologist at Domaine Dujac in Burgundy, and consultant at Domaine de Triennes in Provence. In 2005, she became winemaker at her family’s winery, Snowden Vineyards, in Napa Valley.. She is a recognized authority on climate change as it relates to wine and holds a seat on Porto Protoco’sl global steering committee.

We also discuss Diana’s own emotional journey about the climate change issue, and how she has coped with those various stages. We also hear about the very innovative ways in which winemakers are dealing with the issue, and what gives her hope in a moment that seems, well, quite hopeless at times.
