A global nightmare is unfolding as farmers and scientists stand at a crossroads questioning the impacts of pesticides and herbicides on human health. At the center of this controversy is glyphosate, the primary active ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup, the most widely used herbicide in the world. Glyphosate was recently identified as a possible cancer causing agent and is now found in breast milk, baby food, wine and 80% of food grown in the United States.

Why is glyphosate filtering into so many facets of our daily lives? And why are countries banning glyphosate while the United States uses more of it than any other country in the world? Children Of The Vine will peel back the curtain on the flawed regulatory practices that are causing more harm than good to public health while also revealing the scary science behind toxic farming practices. In the end, this solution driven documentary will highlight more sustainable large scale farming practices capable of feeding the world.

Mommenpop is a wine-based citrus aperitif made in Napa, California by winemaker Samantha Sheehan. Made with organic, just-picked citrus, Mommenpop is exuberantly juicy, fresh and begging to be spritzed! We use the whole citrus (peels and all) to maximize flavor and fragrance. Combined with Samantha’s organically-farmed wines, the end result is a refreshing and perfectly-balanced beverage (with no added sugar, sulfur, dyes or flavorings). Enjoy Mommenpop over ice, with a splash of something sparkling.

Winemaker Samantha Sheehan has been crafting wines in Napa, California for over 10 years. She makes single-vineyard sparkling and still wines under the brands Poe Wines and Ultraviolet Wines. Her most recent project, Mommenpop, combines locally-grown California citrus with a base of her own wines for a uniquely bright and refreshing beverage that’s perfect over ice or in a spritz. Anyone who knows Sam knows that she is always in motion, always experimenting, always bursting with a great idea. Her happy place is at the winery, dreaming up her next project or sourcing unusual types of citrus. She has been featured in Wine Enthusiast’s Top 40 under 40, Forbes, Bloomberg, The New York Times, The San Francisco Chronicle, Wine & Spirits Magazine, and many others.
