Prosser, Wash. — October 1, 2015 — Each month the Walter Clore Wine & Culinary Center sources and features wine around a specific theme. During the month of October, the tasting room will feature wines made with grapes that grow in the Yakima Valley, the oldest AVA in the state.
“We are very proud to feature the diversity of grapes grown in the Yakima Valley AVA, featuring white grapes from Albariño to Picpoul, and reds like Merlot, Sangiovese, and Montepulciano,” says April Reddout, Wine Program Manager for the Clore Center. “The wineries featured this month are as nearby as Pontin del Roza which is only three miles away, to Syncline in the Columbia Gorge, and Whidbey Island in the Puget Sound. They all source grapes from the bounty that is Yakima Valley.”
Visitors to the Clore Center will have the opportunity to taste these wines, for a $5 tasting fee, and the wines are also available for purchase. The Clore Center offers light bites throughout the week, and an expanded Fresh Fare menu on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 12-4pm.
The Clore Center is open daily from 11am-5pm. For a list of our upcoming programs and events visit www.theclorecenter.org.
