From the Analemma website: “Analemma Wines are produced in small quantities from our vineyards clinging to the hillsides of the Columbia Gorge. You already know that when you taste a glass of Analemma wine you are experiencing a region like no other through honest, unadulterated flavors that reveal the vibrancy of this incredible landscape.”

Four wines from our friends at Dusted Valley. Billy Farrow, their regional manager, will be with us that evening to walk us through these lovely Washington wines. And, he’s QUITE the comedian; so please laugh at his jokes.
