'GETTING THE VITICULTURE RIGHT': BRENNON LEIGHTON OF K VINTNERS TALKS WASHINGTON WINE

James visited the vineyards of K Vintners in Walla Walla, Washington, and then spoke with winemaker Brennon Leighton about the importance of vineyards in the state's winemaking aspirations.“It's vital to making authentic wines from the place that they come from,” Brennan says. “If you're not doing the viticulture right, you're not trying to protect the integrity of the place... Everything we do with winemaking is to try to honor the place it comes from.”
