{"title":"Channing Daughters","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe first thing you notice about Christopher Tracy, winemaker at Long Island's Channing Daughters, is his enthusiasm and sense of wonder. Whether discussing semi-carbonic Dornfelder, his new label designs, or introducing you to his picking team, his joy is infectious.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrinking his wines is no different. Each one of his 30 cuvées is a microcosm of terroir using a slew of non-dogmatic traditional methods. That's right, 30 cuvées. Each of them thoughtful, intentional, fascinating--joyful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePerhaps Channing Daughter’s most impressive attribute is its commitment to sustainability. From the use of cover crops (preventing soil erosion and maintaining biodiversity) to making their own compost (which helps to fix nitrogen into the soil, keeping the vines healthy) to providing their employees fair wages and healthcare (a rarity in the agricultural realm!), they are doing everything right. Of course, it helps that the wines are lively, satisfying and shockingly affordable, given the local real estate market!\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/sf.flatiron-wines.com\/collections\/channing-daughters.oembed","provider":"Flatiron SF","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
