Jeff’s Corner Howdy Doody, everyone!

Jeff’s Corner Hello again! Last week, we talked about the origins and flavor profiles for our estate Italian varietals Montepulciano and Aglianico, and promised a sneak peak at the 2014 Epiphany which is a blend of these two grapes. We’ll also get a glimpse into our Estate Wine Club, but…
