Show Notes

In this episode of "The Good Stuff" presented by the Sonoma County Winegrowers, hosts Virginie Boone and Karissa Kruse talk to Anne Moller-Racke, Winegrower & Proprietor, and Hannah Gropman, Estate Director of Blue Farm Wines.

A pioneer in Sonoma County viticulture, Anne moved from Germany to California in the early 1980s, rising through the ranks at Buena Vista Carneros and playing a pivotal role in establishing the Carneros AVA.

Anne shares her journey from vineyard manager to founder of the renowned Donum Estate and, later, Blue Farm Wines—a boutique winery producing small-lot, single-vineyard Pinot Noir and Chardonnay rooted in precision, elegance, and place. Hannah, who grew up on the Blue Farm property, reflects on her decision to return home after college and immerse herself in the family’s winemaking legacy.

Together, they explore how generational passion, thoughtful farming, and a deep connection to Sonoma County continue to shape Blue Farm’s story.

And finally, Virginie and Karissa share their Tuesday Night wine picks!
