About the film:
Merging sweeping wine country footage with insightful interviews, filmmaker Lori Miller showcases the dynamic natural wine movement that is transforming a growing number of Northern California vineyards.

Equal parts farmer, winemaker, and artist, they stay true to their disparate and unique artistic and ecological visions.
