Bergevin Lane Revisited

A year ago today… I posted this interview with Annette Bergevin and Amber Lane of Bergevin Lane Vineyards. Since then they have continued to impress. So I wanted to make sure this interview didn’t get lost in the shuffle.

They’ve recently done a fun video for American Winery’s “Straight from the Source” series.
This provides all sorts of interesting details, like the drama of the paint. Will it ever match the floor? Perhaps you should visit to find out.

Also, I love the candor or their blog. Find it at http://bergevinlane.blogspot.com. As I noted in the interview, they seem to love the people… and people love them. See pictures in their latest post from Spring Release 2009.

More and more and more great Walla Walla wine. Gotta love it.

Is Walla Walla Wine Special?

I wrote a guest post for Jeremy over at the Union Bulletin on what makes Walla Walla wine special. I talk about a few specific wines with tasting notes, at least my style of tasting notes.

I could take the time to pick apart my own article here, but I’ll spare you the horror of my self-editing. Suffice it to say, I think there is something profound about this place–Walla Walla. And the wine made in this valley embodies the magic, the kind of hopefulness that springs up from deep within as we grow, as we find ourselves in a global market but still focus on hand-crafted goodness–quality wine made with pure intentions, for love of the land and the harvest. Okay, I love the wine itself too.

What do you think makes Walla Walla wine special? I want to know. Leave me a comment.

Who is Ashley Trout?

Check out this great video from Jeremy Gonzalez.

Thought you all might like this. Ashley is a star in the Walla Walla wine scene and I’m a huge fan. Glad to see even more publicity for her.
