Jason Haas is a Partner and the General Manager of Tablas Creek Vineyard. His late father, Robert Haas was a renowned importer who partnered with Ch\\xe2teau de Beaucastel in Ch\\xe2teauneuf-du-Pape to scout a perfect site to grow Rh\\xf4ne varieties in California. They found it in the Adelaida District of Paso Robles and built one of the best wineries in California.

Jason is a big advocate for Paso Robles but also a passionate champion of more sustainable, earth-friendly solutions in the wine industry. He is a pioneer of the regenerative organic viticulture program in California, which we will discuss, and he is the first premium winery in California to put his wine in the sustainable 3 liter bag in box. This is Jason\\u2019s third appearance on the show and this time he updates us on all the work that he and Tablas Creek have done to push forward in making their vineyard and winery ever more gentle on the environment. They are leaders in California and in global thinking in wine and they are forging a path for the others to reduce their impact on the earth in wine. I\\u2019m excited to have Jason on the show again and I think you will love this show.
