Well, this is awkward. . . Why aren’t more wine

Well, this is awkward. .
.
Why aren’t more wineries talking about the racial injustices that are happening in our country? You have to put a lot of effort into ignoring this right now.
.
.
The truth is, the wine industry is predominately owned and ran by white people. We get that it’s uncomfortable, but if you choose to be silent - you are part of the problem. We all are struggling when it comes to business right now but that doesn’t mean we ignore what is happening. This is bigger than our business. We’ll have another day to open our doors, George Floyd won’t.
.
.
If you’re afraid of getting “too political” and losing customers, we get it, because we thought the same thing. However, when it comes down to it - if we do lose customers for this post, then they probably shouldn’t be drinking our wine anyway. If you own a business, you have a platform whether you like it or not, and it’s your responsibility to steward it well.
.
.
We have a very powerful industry when we all come together, and we’re capable of doing a lot of good.
.
.
To be clear, we’re including ourselves in this. We’re not off the hook: We’re white. We’re privileged. We’re in the wine industry. There have been several racial injustices that have happened since we’ve been in business and this is the first time we’re addressing it, and we’re embarrassed by that. We’re nowhere near perfect, but we’re committed to doing our part so that all races are treated equally! We can and will do better for our black friends and colleagues. We can do more than “feel sad”, and it starts by taking an inward look at yourself. We’re muting our account this week so that more important accounts can fill your feed.
.
.
All lives DO NOT matter, until black lives matter.

Cabernet Franc sitting pretty at @kitzkefamilyvine

Cabernet Franc sitting pretty at @kitzkefamilyvineyards. 😍
When it comes to matching the right variety to the right spot I’d say we are at a 99% match.
One thing we are getting much better at in @wa_state_wine is knowing our soil types and vineyard sites before we plant them. Learning what goes best where in a relatively new wine region is determined by trial and error. Then sometimes you happen to guess right on the first planting!
Year in and year out this varietal blows me away here on Candy Mountain! If you know you know! 🙏🏼
