Winemaker Weston Eidson of Westborn Wines has created wines that have received extraordinary praise from top wine writers like Jancis Robinson and Jeb Dunnock. They have been struck by the extraordinary quality of Westborn's portfolio of sparkling wines. Made using the traditional method, the same process as used in Champagne and Franciacorta, Westborn's wines are uncommonly refined and elegant. They draw on grapes not from a single vineyard but sourced from many of Napa, Sonoma and Mendocino's top vineyards. In just a few years since he gave up a tech career for wine, this young winemaker has crafted some remarkable bottles.
This time on Postcards in a Glass, Weston Eidson talks with host Lyn Farmer about how he became interested in wine and how he has gone about fulfilling his dream of making "Grand Cru sparkling wines." Most critics agree he has succeeded even with his first vintages, from 2018 and 2019. There are, he says, even more exciting wines to come, soon from the legendary 2021 vintage.
Join us for an engaging conversation about sparkling wine - how it's made, what makes it special, and how a young winemaker found success with one of the most difficult styles of wine to master. Westborn Wines is featured on this episode of Postcards in a Glass.
You can find out more about these wines (and even order them despite their limited quantities) by visiting the winery website, http://www.westbornwines.com
