I’ve always been a little bit blasé when it comes to “farm to table” restaurants. After all, good chefs have always looked for the finest and freshest produce from the best farms.
Many of my friends want to get me a hat that says, “Make Merlot Great Again,” because of my emphatic dedication to the noble grape. As cheeky as that is, I would genuinely wear it because I have been a huge fan of Merlot for my entire career.
I am old enough to have known, worked with and certainly benefited from the Founding Fathers of our Washington State Wine industry. Standing on their shoulders I could see firsthand the contributions and amazing achievements they have made for us.
