A Visit to Silk Scarf Winery in Summerland

A Visit to Silk Scarf Winery in Summerland

This is one of those wineries that you could drive by and miss if you weren’t paying attention. And if you did see it, you might not even stop because compared with some of the other wineries in the valley, it flies very low under the radar.

This wine totally surprised me. Not cheap at $29, but drinks like it’s $79. It is a VERY BIG RED. This red wine has even exceeded my appreciation for the Heartland Shiraz I reviewed a few weeks ago [...]
