Q&A: Adam Ehmer, Slave to the Grape, Roanoke Vineyards
By Lenn Thompson, Editor-in-Chief I first met Adam Ehmer over a year ago at the first "quarterly" LENNDEVOURS wine bar event at Roanoke Vineyards where he pours in the tasting room and, of late, helps out in other facets as well. While most of his background is in academic ecology and biolog...
