My favorite question I get asked about wine is how to find the best wineries.
This can be a relative question, but I'm going to break the mold and give you a straight forward answer.
In wine producing areas, these little appellations or regions are built around communities.
Sure, there are at time rivalries between wineries, or families that own different wineries and vineyards, and sometimes there are rivalries inside the winery.
But most of the time, from the planting vines through the harvest and crushing grapes, wineries and vineyards ban together to help each other because they know they each can't do it alone.
It is during these times that relationships are built, basic human nature, resistance and hard work builds camaraderie.
It also gives outsiders opportunities to see the subtle and nuanced differences in how different viticulturists and winemakers differentiate their brands.
That's why when you walk into a winery or tasting room, you can get some amazing recommendations from the winery staff.
The best way to find the best wineries is just picking a place on the map to start, and making sure to charm the socks off of the winery staff so when you ask them "Where to next?" they give you their best recommendations.
Now go forth and find the best wineries, and let us all know what you find! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
