Episode description
Farmers and vineyard owners are already seeing the effects that climate change will have on the wine industry. Grapes that make up favorite wines like Merlot and Pinot Noir are becoming harder and harder to grow. These grapes -- which have been around for centuries -- are being threatened by our changing climate. In this episode, we talk with Preston Williams, who owns a winery and event space in Norlina, NC. He just started a winery using muscadine grapes. Preston has been farming all his life and says that climate change is one of the challenges farmers just have to be prepared for.
