{"title":"Dandelion Vineyards","description":"\u003cp\u003eElena was born and raised in Bulgaria, where she learned the basics of wine (her mother worked PR for a producer there). Her first foray into winemaking was at age 16, when she stole a few buckets of Chardonnay grapes, juiced them in her mom’s juicer, and fermented in the family refrigerator. She eventually moved to Australia to study oenology, fell in love with the McLaren Vale, and set about starting her own winery there. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShe founded Dandelion with her husband, Zar, and their first vintage was in 2008. Since then, Brooks has become celebrated in Australia and abroad. Her Rieslings have been particularly well-reviewed, so this is a great way to become acquainted with her considerable talent.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/sf.flatiron-wines.com\/collections\/dandelion-vineyards.oembed","provider":"Flatiron SF","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
