About Dusted Valley: “Dusted Valley was founded on the notion that when family works together the American Dream can turn into a living reality. In 2003, these Wisconsin natives took a leap of faith and started a new adventure in the Walla Walla Valley. With strong roots in agriculture, brothers-in-law Chad Johnson and Corey Braunel focus their wine growing philosophies in the vineyard with sustainable practices, low (or modest) yields and minimalistic winemaking. The resulting wines offer a sense of place and showcase their estate vineyards in the Walla Walla Valley and other premier vineyards throughout the state.”

TASTING NOTES: “Lithe and expressive, with embracing tannins wrapping gently around a focused core of dried herb-accented black cherry and licorice flavors, dancing with finesse on the finish.” (2019 AbV 14.2%, 2018 AbV 14.5%, 2017 AbV 14.5%)

PAIRS WITH: n/a

THAT REMINDS ME OF: Chocolate chip cookies.

We’re charmed by the fact that this wine is named after the cookies made by one of the founders’ grandpas.

One of our teenage daughters has a raging sweet tooth, so we made a deal: she can have all the cookies, cake, and brownies she wants if she bakes them herself.

It’s encouraged her to develop some new skills, and a growing confidence that she can take on a task and see it through. Of course, it’s had some benefits for the rest of the household, too.
