LLFW 652 - The New Viticultural Area of Southwest Utah

Many of Europe's wine regions have what is called a 'Wine Trail" which maps out the region's wineries for locals and visitors to explore and enjoy. Did you know that Utah has its own wine trail in the Southwest corner of the state? There is now a wide selection of grape varieties being grown and masterfully crafted which has put Utah on the winemaking map. We'll introduce you to Utah's own winemakers as we discuss the new upcoming American Viticultural Area (AVA) and the challenging process to achieve it. Utah winemakers will share their most prized wines for you to taste as they describe the grape varieties, trellising, and winemaking techniques as well as their journey of becoming a winemaker in Utah. These wines are not to be missed!
