New Fav

Welcome to Vine to Wine this is your host Linda Moran. As many of you know my new favorite wine is usually the wine that is in my glass at the time. Today I am going to share a winery I enjoyed just a few days ago. Wines from my home state of Washington.

So living in Washington wine country can be a bit overwhelming - with a new winery popping up every time you turn around – I mean, I really cannot keep up. But I do my best to also keep track of some of the wineries I trust because they have a track record. A winery which is one of those is Gordon Brothers. Each year I look forward to their Syrah and to one of my favorite Sauvignon Blancs, it is often our house white. They have had a new winemaker, Tim Henley, for a couple of years now and his white wines have already hit the market. Although Tim has always avoided the use of chemicals …, his experience at Gordon Brothers is his first with a certified organic vineyard. In his words  - “I just love being able to take my daughter out there and let her pick a grape and eat it without fear. And, we’re finding that farming organically also makes better fruit. It just feels like the right way to treat the earth, and we are rewarded with better and better quality grapes.” I agree. If it has been awhile since you had Gordon Brother’s go back for a visit, you won’t be disappointed.
