Poberaj Wines
Jure Poberaj of Poberaj Wines Photos by Kelly Turso Jure Poberaj came to the United States when he was 6 years old. He was born in Slovenia not far from the Northeastern border of Italy. His family moved to Washington D C where he lived until pursuing a finance degree at Portland State University. The beauty and outdoor sports of the Columbia Gorge caused him to make the West Coast home, first in Hood River, OR and then in White Salmon, WA. He was a cook at Celilo Restaurant until he and his partner Nina opened a bakery in White Salmon. After several years making bread for the bakery, Jure decided the winemaking lifestyle was more to his liking.

What Jure learned from his uncle was a winemaking style that predates

Vista da Marte, l’applicazione di questa denominazione potrebbe essere tranquillamente estesa a tutta la Campania, per quello che è successo nei secoli e soprattutto per la notorietà di questo vulcano e della famosa eruzione del 79 dopo Cristo. Ho chiesto più volte il motivo, ma non ce n'è alcuno valido se non la spiegazione, molto italiana e moltissimo meridionale, di ridurre il più possibile i benefici della propria unicità. Il che aveva una spiegazione logica in un mondo in cui il mercato era strettamente locale. Ma oggi, nel mondo connesso, è mai possibile ragionare in questo modo? Ma soprattutto, perché una cosa che poteva essere valida nel Dopoguerra non può essere adeguata alla realtà che cambia? Vabbè, esiste comunque la IGT Pompeiano e questo rosso di cui vi parlo questa settimana è prodotto da Bos
