    Great Northwest Wine Magazine selected Gehringer Brothers Estate Winery in British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley as the 2024 Pacific Northwest Winery of the Year. Wines by Walter Gehringer, most of them from estate vines tended by his brother, Gordon, were awarded five Platinum Awards during the 2023 Platinum Awards. Last year, the Golden Mile Bench producer became only the second winery in the 24-year judging to have earned more than 100 career Platinums.

    Great Northwest Wine Magazine has selected Iris Vineyards in the Willamette Valley as the 2024 Oregon Winery of the Year. Aaron Lieberman’s craftsmanship with Pamela Frye’s Chalice Estate Vineyard led to a string of awards last year, and his creativity with the wine-based cocktails adds to the appeal of their young wine bar in downtown Springfield. Our profile of Iris Vineyards will appear in the Spring 2024 issue of Great Northwest Wine Magazine, scheduled to reach subscribers in early April.

Any Wednesday sans @Theoldp with @Softykjr is a disappointment for me. Got my fingers crossed for April 29. In the meantime, please stay well.
