So will Duck Pond.
The Marchesi Vineyard and Winery specializes in Italian varietals and is located in the heights of Hood River. This area is reminiscent of Piedmont where Franco, the founder, was born and raised. Visit the Tasting room in Hood River www.marchesivineyards.com. I LOVE his Barbera!!! I think you should buy a case or two.
Franco Marchesi has a fascinating story to tell. He began his career as a sommelier on a cruise ship. Then he started importing Italian wines. Now he has a small winery in Hood River, Oregon. Here’s Franco talking about wine http://www.vinestories.com/video.php?video=77354838001
Natalie’s Estate and Ponzi will also be there.
Try Remi Wines, Stag Hollow and Tartan.
WHEN: Sunday August 12, 2012 from 1-4 pm
