This month we have another Best of Cork Talk episode, featuring Michael Zimmerman of Junius Lindsay Vineyard in Welcome, NC! In this episode, we pay tribute to Michael who passed away on September 12, 2024. Over the years, we grew to appreciate our friendship with Michael as each visit brought something new. Junius Lindsay is still open and the staff are just as friendly as ever.

In this episode, you’ll learn about Michael’s passion for growing grapes, farming his family land, and how he became so interested in producing top quality wine. This episode was originally recorded for Season 2 of Cork Talk which aired in February of 2020.

Our friends and contributors Jesse and Jessica join us again. Not for a Wine Class this time, but to share their memories of Michael and of Junisus Lindsay Vineyard.
