Harvest time at Benziger Vineyard : "Benziger is a winery defined by family, passion and enthusiasm," says National Sales Manager Chris Benziger. "We're committed to winemaking that exceeds expectations on every level. We do this, not from a boardroom thousands of miles away, but here at the winery and out in the vineyards-connected to the land, to the wine and to the consumer." The Benzigers live and breathe Sonoma County winegrowing. The result is Sonoma wine with a strong sense of place that satisfies the palate and nourishes the soul. "There's an incredible moment when people get the idea of how grapes and wine are connected to a local area," says Mike Benziger. "It's really a wow experience. If we can be the ones who usher in that experience for them, then we're successful." It was harvest time at Benziger Winery, where a cousin of mine works, so I got to see the background about what happens to the grapes to become wine. It was a great time, very nice people at the winery, and good wine! If you are ever in the Somona Valley, and want to go on a tour and wine tasting, Benziger would be a great place to go. Benziger Family Winery is leading a new definition of wine quality through its Farming for Flavors™, organic and Biodynamic® winegrowing practices. Their 85-acre, certified Biodynamic Sonoma Mountain estate has become a research and teaching center for the cultivation of grapes with more flavor, intensity and site-specific vineyard character.
