She parlayed her modeling into a brief career in television: a season on the reality show Survivor followed up by a travel show based in New Zealand.

Primitivo represents the major focus of the winery, both in terms of vineyards planted (over 60% of the total) and in terms of tradition: Manduria is considered the birth place of the native Primitivo grape, so much so that in 1974 the Italian Government recognized a specific DOC appellation to the Primitivo made in Manduria. Thanks to this intimate, almost symbiotic, relationship between Manduria and the Primitivo wine production, the Winery has always played a vital role in the local economy, becoming the center of Manduria’s economic, social and cultural life. The Winery’s Management has always been extremely stable, with only 5 Presidents in the last 76 years (Italy has changed a few dozen Governments in the same period!).

Adjacent to the Van Duzer Corridor - an East to West running corridor through the coast range - the vineyards benefit from moderating afternoon ocean breezes. As the valley heats up on warm summer days it creates a sink for the cool maritime breezes that are pulled through the corridor and across the vineyards. The result is a daily beating by the Van Duzer winds lowering the average daily temperatures 2-3°F compared to the Dundee Hills and other sub regions of the Willamette Valley. The cooler, slower growing season allows the fruit to obtain ripe flavors at lower sugar levels and higher acidity. The elevation of Johan Vineyards Estate ranges from approximately 180 to 380 feet, with several different slope directions. The soils are Helvetia, Steiwer, and Santiam silts formed primarily from Missoula Flood deposits over ancient marine sedimentary rock. For Johan Vineyards, the Missoula Floods devastation through the valley has resulted in a very complex soil composition, characterized by shallow topsoils with a high concentration of decomposed granite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe farming philosophy of Johan Vineyards is to integrate natural farming methods with the most advanced viticultural research to produce the highest possible quality fruit that is true to its terroir. In 2010 Johan Vineyards received both Organic Certification from Stellar Certification Services and Biodynamic Certification from Demeter USA. The winemaking at Johan is now under the guidance of Morgan Beck, who after spending time in various winemaking positions in California, came to Johan in 2015. In the spring of 2020, Morgan was also entrusted to be the General Manager at Johan in addition to her winemaking responsibilities. The wines are made with all native fermentations and a limited use of new French oak. Because of the long, cooler growing season at the site they get very good lignification of the stems and therefore utilize a good percentage of whole cluster in the winemaking as well. The resulting wines are precise with a beautiful purity and a very savory element.

Farming is certified organic, but Jason and his team take this only as a starting point. Viticulture at all of the Estate vineyards follows the precepts of regenerative no-till farming, with strict attention paid not just to the vines but to the healthy networks of soil organisms that support them. Not only does this approach avoid the need for artificial irrigation, it also nourishes the vines without the need for additional fertilizer, and captures atmospheric carbon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THIS PRODUCER\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEyrie Founder David Lett was convinced that the climate of the Willamette Valley was potentially perfect for growing Pinot noir. But exactly where was the best place to put down roots? The Valley holds a wide range of microclimates and soils, and in 1965, David had the whole valley to choose from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn February 1965, David rented a temporary nursery plot near Corvallis, and planted the 3000 vinifera grape cuttings he gathered from UC Davis and selected growers and brought with him to Oregon. This was the first planting of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in the Willamette Valley, and the first “New World” Pinot gris. Over the following year, David went looking for his perfect vineyard site. He made an exhaustive review of regional climate and soil, studied historical climate records and soil maps, and criss-crossed the valley from side to side and top to bottom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the course of his explorations, David narrowed his search to the upper third of the Valley, pulling away from the foothills of the Cascades (too cool) and the Coast Range of the mid-Valley (too warm). After identifying the right climatic zone, the next challenge was soil. David kept a soil auger in the back of his car, and whenever he saw a likely-looking site for sale, he pulled over and dug a hole. He identified the volcanic Jory and Nekia soils prominent in certain valley hillsides as having the right combination of limited fertility and superior water-holding properties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese soils were deposited as volcanic flows 15 to 17 million years ago. Over time, the surface of the basalt mother-rock decomposed into a red soil overlaying a deep layer of rounded and eroded basalt cobble. This combination gives Jory and Nekia soils special properties that are ideal for dry-farmed vines. The soil structure allows the constant winter rains of the valley to drain readily. However, in Oregon’s very dry summers, the underground cobbles retain enough water in their cracks and crevices to support the vines without the need for irrigation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to climate and soil, elevation and location were important. David sought a south or south-east facing site, with a sloped aspect sufficient to drain away damaging spring frosts. The elevation had to be high enough to access the volcanic soils of the slopes, but low enough for heat to ripen the grapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDavid kept returning to the Dundee Hills. In spite of the threat of suburban development, the area seemed just right for grapes. A remarkably consistent and concentrated outcrop of volcanic-origin soils, skirted at lower elevations with sedimentary ice-age soils, offered the perfect combination of climate and soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1966, David finally found what he was looking for – a gentle 20-acre south-facing slope at the south end of the Dundee Hills. That fall, David and his new bride Diana began the process of pulling out the old trees in the derelict orchard, preparing the ground, and moving the young grape plants up from their temporary nursery site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInspired by a pair of red-tailed hawks who made their nest (eyrie) in the fir trees at the top of the vineyard site, David and Diana christened their fledgling endeavor The Eyrie Vineyard.

Estate fruit is hand-harvested and hand-sorted, and vineyard qualities are worked in small lots and then blended to create wines of balance and texture. Fermentations rely on indigenous yeasts to ensure each wine embodies the truest expression of site.

His mother’s family had been making wine in Germany’s Mosel Valley for more than 300 years and Hermann spent the summers of his youth learning to graft by hand. His father had been in charge of the Agricultural Experiment Station in Bernkastel and was responsible for restoring vines in the Mosel region after WWII. Hermann discovered that the cool climate and gravelly soils of the Finger Lakes were similar to his family’s vineyards in the Mosel Valley. At a time when very few thought it was possible to grow vinifera varietals on Seneca Lake, Hermann believed that the unique soil types and moderating weather effects of the Finger Lakes would make it possible to produce great wines here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2003, Hermann’s apprentice Fred Merwarth took charge of winemaking and vineyard management. Fred’s talent and ambition brought fresh energy and vision to the winery, placing it on a new trajectory. In 2007, Hermann officially retired, handing over the winery to Fred, who partnered with his university friend, Swedish agronomist Oskar Bynke, to carry on Hermann’s legacy. Over the last decade, they have embraced and expanded Hermann’s detail-oriented approach to viticulture and winemaking, extensively working on understanding the relationship between the vines and soils of the Finger Lakes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hermann J.

Escalada Do Bibei is a blend of Merenzao, Mencía and Brancellao. Merenzao and Brancellao are very aromatic, offering aromas of strawberries and violets. In Portugal, the Merenzao grape takes the name of Bastardo and in France, specifically in the Jura region, it takes the name of Trousseau. Mencía provides body and Brancellao contributes acidity. The vineyards of this rare wine are near the cliffs of the Bibei River which is more narrow and steep than the neighboring Sil river. Valdeorras is known for its altitude and mineral soils composed of slate and granite. The region is in between Bierzo and Ribeira Sacra, but its climate is very different.

His father was a marine biologist and Ross was fortunate enough to travel the world at an early age, often skin-diving with his parents on the weekends. Suffice to say, the ocean always played a big role in Ross’s life. College brought him to University of Santa Cruz where he studied agroecology with a focus on soil science. Music had found Ross early, and his affinity for the bass guitar and the sound of punk would never leave him. One of Ross’s first mentors was a professor at UCSC. He moonlit as a weekend radio DJ and would let Ross sit in on sessions. What began as a love of music, grew into an obsession for collecting vinyl. Upon graduating, Ross found himself spending weekends driving up to Sonoma County to help his parents farm their fledgling vineyard Coastlands. He wanted to be closer to the family business (and the new skate park in Santa Rosa) and took a job with Ferrari Carrano in 1994. There he launched their first soil science lab over the course of two vintages.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #808080;\"\u003eIn 1998, Ross’s tour of winemaking in the Sonoma Coast began in earnest. Hired by the founders Burt and Ed, Ross took over as viticulturist and enologist at Williams Selyem. After two years he then moved to Flowers Winery as associate winemaker in 2000. He worked under Hugh Chappelle for four years before taking over as head winemaker for the subsequent five vintages. Over the years Ross became friends with David Hirsch, having purchased his fruit at Williams Selyem, and living in proximity to his vineyard at Flowers. In 2009, Ross became the head winemaker of Hirsch helping to launch the eponymous brand into prominence for six vintages. Throughout his time as winemaker at Hirsch, Ross lived on the vineyard with his wife and newborn daughter. In 2001, Ross started the family brand Cobb Wines with his parents. He utilized years of experience with cool-climate Pinot Noir to craft wines from the estate vineyard Coastlands that maintain a true sense of place, allowing the site to speak through his winemaking.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Cobb","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47369741697313,"sku":"210000016612","price":95.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0804\/6785\/3601\/files\/IMG_0009_1_5d65822f-bca8-4a75-bf5c-2479d9e06283.png?v=1700141080"},{"product_id":"2020-vinos-en-voz-baja-costumbres-garnacha-rioja-spain-1","title":"2021 Vinos En Voz Baja \"Costumbres\" Garnacha, Rioja, Spain","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THIS WINE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sqsrte-small\"\u003eA blend of of 80% Garnacha , 10% Tinta Velasco, 10% Tempranillo, with a mixture of wines from the different plots which are located in the villages of Aldeanueva, Alfaro, Calahorra, Rincó n de Soto and Autol.

Every vine for every wine was planted by RSV and every vineyard is certified* organic. One could say that RSV is beyond organic. Since 1991, RSV has been practicing the “whole farm” philosophy of interrelationships based on Rudolph Steiner’s 1928 lecture “Agriculture.” This approach stresses the need to heal damage done by modern, mechanized farming - tapping into the rhythms of nature, encouraging natural processes, to grow superior winegrapes that require little but care to craft into expressive, vibrant and living wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRSV approaches the cellar as purists (with the same winemaker, Jeff Virnig, for over twenty-five years) to craft wines that are true and pure. The guiding principle that “wine is not an athletic event” has allowed the wines of RSV to stay true to vineyard and variety. Elegance over brawn has always been the house style and RSV does not submit wine for review by score-centric critics; because to taste wine in a competitive atmosphere, without food on the table, encourages wines that shout, ignoring subtle wines of balance, finesse and elegance... the attributes that define the fine wines of RSV.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*RSV’s vineyards are certified by C.C.O.F. - California Certified Organic Farmers.
