Six Wines from The Winery at Kirkwood Win Awards
Posted 5 January, 2012
The
Winery at Kirkwood is pleased to announce that six wines from the 2010
vintage have been awarded the prestigious Iowa Vintners Quality
Alliance Quality Wine Seal. This is awarded to Iowa wines that pass
rigorous chemical analysis and a blind tasting by a panel of experts,
comprised of Iowa winemakers, enology and viticulture instructors, and
other wine professionals.
Members of the tasting panel spent two years undergoing training before
beginning the process of selecting Iowa Quality Wines. This is the
first year Iowa wines have been officially rated by the Iowa Vintners
Quality Alliance.
“We are so happy that in just our second year of making wine, we’ve
already been recognized as putting out a great product,” said Kirkwood
Viticulture Technician Tom Moore. “It’s really a testament to the hard
work of all of our Continuing Education students put in with our
harvest and wine-making.”
The Iowa Vintners Quality Alliace recognized The Winery at Kirkwood’s
Seyval, LaCrosse, Edelweiss, Frontenac Gris, Niagara and Catawba wines
with the Quality Wine Seal. Bottles of these wines, as well as the
Foch, Frontenac, St. Pepin and Four-Point-Oh! are available for
purchase at The Hotel at Kirkwood Center, Wilson Avenue Hy-Vee, First
Avenue Wine House, Benz Beverage Depot and the Secret Cellar in
Shueyville.
