Our favorite quote from the article:
“There’s a new generation of sommeliers and consumers willing to think outside the box. They don’t care about point scores from magazines. They don’t need someone to tell them what to drink, and they don’t believe wine has to be from California to be good.”

Oakanogan Estate & Vineyards is located near Canada on the United States side of the Okanogan Valley in North Central Washington state. The northern location often allows the vineyards a solid freeze of 14 degrees F or below, which is necessary to produce ice wine.
The grapes are hand-harvested and crushed while still frozen. A large percent of the water remains frozen during the crush leaving only a small quantity of concentrated juice that is slowly fermented. This wine has flavors and aromas of ripe orchard fruit and golden raisins with hints of clover honey and dried pineapple.
This sweet white wine was pressed from grapes frozen on the vines and harvested in the cold of winter. Intense tropical fruit aromas are displayed and paired with complex layers of peaches, pears, and apricots. Notes of vanilla and honey follow, ending with an extended silky-smooth finish.
