Yesterday, my husband and I called Steve Sawyer and asked if we could visit him to ask questions regarding his new winery. Steve made time to see us on the spur of the moment. We arrived at his location around 4 p.m. just as his partner Mark was leaving for New Jersey. Steve gave us a tour around his new facilities. This is his first crush! I can just imagine how exciting it must be after all the years of work to design and create a new winery and vineyard. That's my husband on the left and Steve on the right.
Steve let us taste the juices fermenting in his winery, a very nice blush wine made from Baco noir and a Cabernet franc. His 2400 square foot winery that we saw when it was just under construction in
June, was now filled with stainless steel tanks, wooden barrels, crusher destemmer, press, lab, and a bottling room.
As we talked, a beautiful sunset illuminated the sky, a gorgeous view from the deck of the tasting room. More information about Preston Ridge Vineyard can be found here:
