Tribute Winery is owned by Chris Benziger, who, along with his five brothers, was charged by their father with constructing the winery and creating the vineyards. As an expert sommelier and brewer, I have had the pleasure of tasting and experiencing the wines produced by Tribute Winery, and I must say, they are truly exceptional.
Chris Benziger and his brothers have poured their heart and soul into creating a winery that not only produces outstanding wines but also respects and nurtures the land on which the vineyards are planted. I have had the privilege of visiting Tribute Winery and witnessing firsthand the dedication and passion that goes into every aspect of their winemaking process.
One of the things that struck me about Tribute Winery is their commitment to sustainability. They have implemented a number of environmentally-friendly practices in their vineyards, such as organic farming and the use of cover crops to promote soil health. This dedication to sustainable winemaking not only ensures the longevity of the land but also results in wines that are true expressions of their terroir.
Another aspect that sets Tribute Winery apart is their focus on quality over quantity. Chris Benziger and his brothers believe in crafting wines that are true representations of the varietals and the vineyards from which they come. They take great care in the vineyard, hand-selecting the grapes at the peak of ripeness and meticulously fermenting and aging the wines to showcase their unique characteristics.
I have had the pleasure of tasting a variety of wines from Tribute Winery, including their Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir. Each wine is a testament to the Benziger brothers' skill and dedication. The Cabernet Sauvignon is rich and full-bodied, with dark fruit flavors and velvety tannins. The Chardonnay is elegant and balanced, with notes of citrus and oak. And the Pinot Noir is delicate and nuanced, with layers of red fruit and earthy undertones.
In addition to their exceptional wines, Tribute Winery also offers a warm and inviting tasting room experience. The staff is knowledgeable and passionate about the wines, and they are always eager to share their insights and recommendations. I have spent many enjoyable afternoons at Tribute Winery, sipping on their wines and soaking in the beautiful surroundings.
Tribute Winery is a true labor of love for Chris Benziger and his brothers. Their commitment to sustainable winemaking, their focus on quality, and their dedication to showcasing the unique characteristics of their vineyards shine through in every bottle. I feel fortunate to have experienced their wines and I highly recommend paying a visit to Tribute Winery to taste for yourself the incredible wines they produce.
