Wine lovers, like me, are missing visiting wineries quite a bit. However, the wineries are making sure their wines are available to pick up. We stopped by our local winery and picked up some of our favorite Cabernet Sauvignon from Brianza Gardens and Winery recently and enjoyed a bottle last night.
For this vintage of Cabernet Sauvignon, owner and winemaker, Tony Parnigoni, got grapes from Washington State. The grapes came from the Horse Heaven Vineyard. The wine is one of the best Cabernet Sauvignons that I’ve ever tasted. Many winemakers will tell you that the wine is made in the vineyard. That may be one of the reasons this wine is so good. For several years, my favorite Sauvignon Blanc is from Chateau St. Michelle’s Horse Heaven Vineyard. Obviously, the vineyard’s terroir produces excellent grapes.
The other reason for the wine being so good is the expertise of the winemaker. Tony’s wines are all exceptional. While stuck at home, call and pick up your favorite wine and be sure to visit as soon as they open up.

We did our drive-through at Brianza, too, and really stocked up. Wine is keeping us from crankiness during these trying times!
