Norton Wine featured in Article

Dave McIntyre wrote an article published on August 27th in the food section of the Washington Post. He poses the question, "Have you tried a Norton lately?"  The article entitled "Less Acidity, More Interest in Nortons" touches on the history of the Norton grape and its evolution in America.  He references Todd Kliman, author of The Wild Vine, a book that recounts the history of Norton grape in America, an interesting read. I have met the Todd.

Dave recently found himself on a panel of judges at the Atlantic Seaboard Wine Competition that awarded gold medal scores to two Nortons (One was from Frogtown Cellars in Georgia, the other from Cooper Vineyards in Louisa, Va.). Norton recognition seems to be happening more and more as the American public discovers the rich complexity of a well-produced Norton wine. We need to invite Dave McIntyre to the Midwest to so he can continue his quest for a good Norton!
