    Mar 27 2026

    This week, hosts Karissa Kruse and Virginie Boone are joined by mother-and-son duo Sharon Pastori and Paolo Pastori-Ng — a family deeply rooted in Alexander Valley with more than a century of farming history in Sonoma County.

    Sharon reflects on her upbringing on the family ranch — from harvesting prunes, apples, and pears to her father planting the family’s first vineyards in the 1970s. Today, Paolo carries that legacy forward, farming alongside his wife while raising their young twins on the property.

    A conversation about legacy, family, and the future of Sonoma County farming you won’t want to miss!
