We catch up on how the tasting room has evolved over the past 5 years to enhance your experience when you visit. Wine quality continues to be a focus and Sofia talks to us about how they continue to push boundaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During our recap conversation, we also discussed the impact of Hurricane Helene to Western North Carolina and how Sofia and Overmountain Vineyards were involved in the recovery efforts. Sofia partnered with a nearby dairy, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bigbottommilkcompany.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Big Bottom Milk Company<\/a> to switch over to bottling fresh water for anyone who needed. Through their efforts they eventually turned into a support hub for the region. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you like this episode, please leave us a rating and review. It really helps spread the word.
