The Good Stuff – Justin Seidenfeld of Rodney Strong Vineyards

In this episode of The Good Stuff presented by the Sonoma County Winegrowers, hosts Virginie Boone and Karissa Kruse talk with Justin Seidenfeld, Senior Vice President of Winemaking and Winegrowing at Rodney Strong Vineyards. Justin shares his inspiration as a winemaker, to always "surprise and delight." He is committed to innovations, while also honoring the history of Rodney Strong's legacy in Sonoma County. He has installed an automatic Brix checking system that allows the winemaking team to precisely monitor sugar levels and integrate that info into apps to streamline the process. Justin says the grapes grown in Sonoma County are some of the best in the world and that makes his job as winemaker that much easier. He also shares details about the ROWEN Wine Company, part of Rodney Strong that really explores the expression of Sonoma County terroir. And finally, Virginie and Karissa share their Tuesday Night wine picks.

Sonoma County Focus – A Theater for Children

Host Michelle Marques talks with Bridget Palmer, Executive Director of A Theater for Children. This volunteer program produces three theater productions each year, featuring actors up to the age of 18, and each show is designed for young children up to the age of about 10 years old. The next show is Disney's The Little Mermaid Jr. with 8 performances from April 26th through May 5th at Kid Street Charter School located at 709 Davis Street in Santa Rosa. Performances will feature a mural with audience interaction before the show, and audience members are encouraged to dress up in their mermaid/sea creature best! The show features environmental themes, and Bridget says this is a great way to work Earth Day into the experience. Get tickets and learn more at atheaterforchildren.com

Raise the Roof with Letitia Hanke – Earth Month and Jim Persons of Safety Pride

In today’s episode, Letitia Hanke, CEO of ARS Roofing and Founder and Executive Director of The LIME Foundation shares a few ways you can celebrate Earth Month. Take part in a community clean-up event - these happen all over, from neighborhood events to restoring natural habitats at the coast or along rivers and streams. Whenever possible, reduce, reuse, and recycle! Choose eco-friendly products when you shop. And connect with nature by heading outdoors! A hike, gardening, or a picnic in the park connects you to the natural world and fosters appreciation for the environment.

Letitia also shares tips on how to pick a roofer or other contractor:

1 - Consider how long a company has been around - longevity counts!

2 - A certified contractor will use parts direct from the manufacturer, which means the warranty also comes with that. This gives you peace of mind.

3 - Check reputations on sites like Yelp and ALWAYS check to make sure their license is in good standing. Visit this site to check on the business/contractor BEFORE you hire anyone or sign any contracts.

Letitia thanks supporters of The LIME Foundation, including Sonoma Clean Power, Impact 100 Redwood Circle, and Redwood Credit Union.

Mark your calendar for the 9th Annual Believe in the Dream Gala coming up on September 12th at the Graton Event Center!

In the second half of the show, Letitia chats with Jim Persons of Safety Pride. Jim has been in the industry for thirty years, providing safety training, safety audits, and safety programs for all kinds of companies in California. He has served as the Safety Consultant for the North Coast Builders Exchange and the Northern CA Engineering Contractors Association. He recommends staying on top of current regulations by visiting the Cal/OSHA website, and networking with others at events like those hosted by the Redwood Empire Remodelers Association.

Tune in next month on Tuesday, May 7th at 12:30 for the next episode of Raise the Roof, featuring guests Korin Robles and Keehay Jackson of Better Invested Property Management.
