Welcome to this week’s list of U.S. wineries experiencing the most love (or at least page views) from AWG wine lovers.
New reviews by Rob Boss and Elizabeth Smith propelled Oregon’s Teutonic Wine Company and Napa’s Materra Wines into the #1 and #3 spots, respectively. The Napa free tasting wineries continue their strong showing and once again come in at #2.
Idaho’s Parma Ridge Winery, #1 for the last two weeks, moves down to the #4 position, and Arizona’s Caduceus Cellars remains at #5. Recently reviewed Pride Mountain Vineyards comes in at #6, and St. Helena’s popular Failla Wines comes in at #7.
Virginia’s Trump Winery enjoyed its own Republican National Convention bounce and finishes at #8. Michigan’s Tabor Hill Winery makes a long-awaited return to the list (it last made the list in February 2016) at the #9 position, and McMinnville’s Dominio IV makes its second appearance on the list, this time in the #10 spot.
