The Madera Vintners Association Gives Honors to Ficklin Vineyards for Achievement in Local Wine Industry
Ficklin Vineyards has been producing award winning traditional Ports for over 64 years. Founded in 1946 by Walter C. Ficklin, Ficklin Vineyards remains the oldest Port winery in the United States. Walter Sr, along with his sons David and Walter Jr, established Ficklin Vineyards as a leader in the wine industry, and Ficklin Vineyards became known as America's premier Port winery. Ficklin Vineyards was just selected as Winery of the Year by industry peers of the Madera Vintners Association. At a recent awards banquet, Peter Ficklin accepted the award on behalf of the entire staff of Ficklin and their efforts to make Ficklin what it is. Steve Ficklin was also honored as Winegrower of the Year. Steve is the third generation vineyard manager for Ficklin Vineyards. The original plantings are still in production today because of the standard of care he has continued to maintain. Steve is an advocate of sustainable farming, and is forever committed to the stewardship of the soil, water, and air. He has made this his life's work, to maintain the heritage of these vines that produce the grapes for Ficklin Vineyards wines and Ports. 2013 brings ground-breaking growth for Ficklin Vineyards with the opening of a new division of the company, Ficklin-Wilcox, a new concept wine tasting room/class room with kitchen store in Sacramento's Mid-Town neighborhood that will open in March. Liz Wilcox is Director of Retail Operations for Ficklin Vineyards and President of Ficklin-Wilcox.

Col Solare Columbia Valley 2008 Offering
If you are even vaguely familiar with Washington state, Col Solare should be a wine that you have heard of it has become one of the iconic wines of Washington State and as of 2007 they have a winery and estate vineyard to draw from giving them the ability to control every aspect of production.
Marchese Piero Antinori, known for his lifelong curiosity about how grapes are grown around the world, journeyed to Washington's Columbia Valley in 1992 at the urging of Andre Tchelistcheff, a California wine industry legend and then a consultant to Ste. Michelle Wine Estates. In 1995 they produced the first vintage and although much has changed since then, including the varietals in the blend and the vineyards, but the goal has always been to make one of the best wines possible and to forge an identity as one of the most distinctive wines in Washington State.
