Stunning Value Winery

[stevebody]

Here, here, me Bucko! Have loved those WH things for years, especially the Chantepierre.

A hot tip: A guy walked into Esquin last Friday and came straight over to me and started a conversation about Washington Sangiovese. I told him I hadn't had a one that stood up to even some of the cheaper Italians. After twenty minutes batting it around, he introduced himself as Jerry Fox and said he had a new winery called Fox Estates over in Mattawa. They were grape growers who decided to make wine. Sound familiar?

Anyway, he wound up pouring me his Cab, Merlot, and Sangiovese. They were VERY fine. I held my breath and asked about prices (figuring $25-$45 per) and was astonished when he said the Merlot and Sangio would RETAIL at about $10 and the Cab about $14. Well, SOLD. Look for his Godawful ugly label. These are serious wines at a laughable price.

Bucko: Article about these guys, getting in on what is truly the ground floor? Contact me out of forum for the address/phone.
