My new label design for Troon Vineyard

Day 2 tribute to Earth Day on April 22nd:
Troon Vineyard celebrates Earth Day 2021, and its 2nd vintage as a Demeter Biodynamic® Certified vineyard and winery, with the release of their new labels and wines.

Each of these attractive new labels features one of the botanicals used in Troon's biodynamic preparations applied to their compost pile, and later used in the vineyard.

This trio of limited-production wines represents Troon Vineyards ongoing commitment to biodynamic farming and winemaking in Oregon's Applegate Valley:

2020 Troon Vineyard Vermentino, Applegate Valley, Oregon (SRP $25, 450 cases produced.)

Barrel fermented in mature French oak barrels with extended lees contact produces this rounded, generous Corsican style wine - but with a natural acidity characteristic of the Applegate Valley.

2020 Troon Vineyard, Kubli Bench Amber, Applegate Valley, Oregon (SRP $35, 250 cases produced.)

This Kubli Bench estate orange wine blends specifically selected rows of white grapes (riesling, vermentino, viognier) farmed to achieve the same phenolic ripeness required for red wine.

2020 Troon Vineyard, Glou-Glou Grenache, Applegate Valley, Oregon (SRP $25100 cases produced.)
Glou-glou is French slang for 'gulp-able' wine.
Drink up! Here's to Mother Nature!

A new label I just completed for Troon Vineyard

This is the spot that will become the most important place of the vineyard. We’ve chosen the spot for the compost piles.

Today's Wine(s) of the Day: Cornerstone Cellars Stepping Stone Rocks! White and Red Blends

The White:
This delectable blend dances together beautifully creating a smooth, layered, but refreshingly crisp summer white. Rich, but firm chardonnay is transfixed by the wildly exotic, but mysterious seductress, muscat canelli producing an undeniably fruity, unabashedly easy quaffing wine. An intense, vibrant, but rich tropical fruit salad of aromatics seduce the nose into submission. Ripe pear, red and green apple, pineapple, honeydew and cantaloupe melons with a dash of spice all leaping from the glass.

The Red:
Bright, savory and vivacious, we can't think of a better wine for our own American country cooking, which at this time of year usually means grills, steak, chops, sausages and burgers. With the release of the 2012 Red Rocks! we believe we have crafted a wine with the balance and depth that makes it a true Cornerstone. As always with Rocks!, the blend is our secret and the pleasure is all yours.

Both wines are featured in the January Kahn's Khronicle until the end of the month and are on sale for only $9.99 per bottle. We will even be pouring them this Saturday from noon to 3pm so stop in for a taste!
