Youngberg Hill in Wine Compass

Did you know there were "own rooted" or vines not grafted onto phylloxera resistant American rootstock in the Willamette Valley?

Probably not, says Todd Godbout who dug deep to give you the inside scoop on the wines of the Youngberg Hill Winery, whose 25 year old Jordan and Natasha Block vines were planted on their own rootstocks by Ken Wright in 1989.   Todd caught up with Wayne Bailey, owner/vineyard manager/winemaker of Youngberg Hill last week at the Wine Cabinet in Reston, VA.

Here is a link to Todd's wonderful feature in the Wine Compass:
