On the show this week, we feature wines of the windy and stony soils of the Similkameen Valley. Charlie Baessler, managing partner of Corcelettes Estate Winery joins us to share their excitement about the current state of the vines and offers a taste of their flagship 2021 Talus. Brad Makepeace, Winemaker, Hugging Tree Winery, provides an update on their family-owned and operated business, and we share a lively 2021 Blanc de Blancs. Daniel Bontorin, Winemaker at Seven Directions, has a true passion for pink wines, and we sample his 2024 Rosé Cuvée, along with a K-Vintners 2022 Cabernet Franc. We reconnect with John Weber, Winemaker Co-Owner, Orofino Vineyards and enjoy his optimism for the season ahead as we taste his new 2024 Chenin Blanc from his Washington State Series: Few and Far Between.
