Wouldn’t you love a glass of wine to pair with the amazing meals you are making with your farm fresh vegetables, your sourdough bread and your artisan farm cheese?
Farmer Reuben is offering you the opportunity to try the wines he loves to make. Reuben started making wine from kits 20 years ago and advanced over the years to getting juice from Chile and Italy. Last year he and his friends bought 1000 pounds of Merlot grapes from Washington State and over the year, step by step, created a very special red wine he wants to share with you.
Farm members have enjoyed Reuben’s wines over the years when they visit the farm and make a donation. Pleasantly surprised by the quality, they return again and again, purchasing for themselves and for gifting to the wine lovers in their lives.
For the first time we are making this opportunity available to our Farm Share CSA delivery members. When you make a donation to the farm you will receive your choice of the two red wines we are offering: a Red Zinfandel called Eclipse or a port-style Merlot either by the bottle or a box of 10.
Eclipse Red Zinfandel is described as "French oak meets spice to create this bold, rich and exciting blend of zesty aromas and ripe berries playing on the tongue."
Washington Merlot is truly hand crafted from grape to bottle. Farmer Reuben loves the robust flavor profile, the semi-sweet aspect and the higher alcohol (apprx. 15%) of this "port-style" Merlot.
These wines are only available as Extras while they last.
Your donation will go toward the purchase of a fermentation tank to keep improving the farmer’s wine making hobby.
