Don’t forget it’s Washington Wine Month and at Jacob Liquor Exchange there is a great display of Washington Wine to tempt your taste buds. Due to some last minute Schedule changes and my flight to San Fran for a week in Sonoma, the wine I planned on featuring this week is going to have to stand alone.
2016 Nine Hats Benches Vineyard Pinot Gris
Sourced exclusively from The Benches Vineyard at Wallula (1,400 feet above the Columbia River), where a constant breeze moderates temperatures to capture fresh flavors and give the wine its vibrant mouthfeel. A light squeeze of the grapes on the press and a cool fermentation is used to enhance the Pinot Gris’ racy character. Appealing floral aromas lead to flavors of apricot, grapefruit, honey dew melon and lime zest with a hint of spice. The wine’s viscous mouth feel is balanced nicely by its crisp acidity.
Pick up a bottle at Jacob Liquor on North Rock Road…you’ll thank me!
The program running for this Saturday originally aired on January 20. My guest is Debra Mathy from Dutcher Crossing Winery in Sonoma.
Her wines aren’t yet available here in Kansas but can be ordered on line.

Proprietor Debra Mathy can often be found welcoming guests with Dutchess, her Golden Lab, sidekick and official greeter. Winemaker Kerry Damskey’s small-lot, select vineyard approach to winemaking can be learned and enjoyed in the tasting room. In short, Dutcher Crossing offers the timeless qualities of an artisan approach to life. Check out Dutcher Crossing on Facebook & Twitter
