Trothe & Sagebreaker Wines
Jeff Andrews and Ray McKee of Trothe and Sagebreaker Wines Jeff Andrews and Ray McKee both have deep family roots in the Washington wine industry. Jeff’s roots in the Horse Heaven Hills go back 4 generations to his great grandparents who were dryland wheat farmers. The discovery of water on the land in the 1950s enabled Jeff’s parents and grandparents to grow many different crops. In 1994, Jeff’s father planted the first Andrews Family Vineyard vines, and at its most extensive acreage the vineyard was 1300 acres with over two dozen different grape varieties. Ray’s parents, Joel and Pam Tefft, moved to Washington in the mid-1980s with the goal of planting a vineyard and starting a winery. Between 1987 and 1991, they transformed a Concord vineyard in the Yakima Valley into one with wine grapes, including such varieties as Chenin Blanc, Sangiovese, Nebbiolo and Syrah. In 1991, they made their first Tefft Cellars wines, and continued to grow production u

We had the pleasure of engaging in a virtual tasting with Umberto Cosmo and being transported to the winery. Bellenda’s Terroir Bellenda’s vineyards lie on the glacial slopes of Carpesica, where cool nights and warm days help the grapes retain vibrant acidity. The mineral-rich soils, composed of limestone, clay and glacial deposits, and steep terrain produce wines that are bright, structured, and full of character. As one of the designated Rive zones of Valdobbiadene, Carpesica offers a distinct microclimate that gives Bellenda’s wines their signature freshness a
