We’ve tapped Addison Farms’ 2017 Coming Home Cabernet Sauvignon. The Cabernet Sauvignon were the first grapes planted in the vineyard and were the impetus for Jeff and Dianne to come home from Atlanta, which is something they had been wanting to do for some time. Coming Home to the family farm and working to preserve the family farm is celebrated with each bottle of Coming Home.
Meet the owner, Jeff Frisbee, and winemaker, Shruthi Dhoopati.
