Home-state interlude: Remember my post about the Yakima Valley peaches at Donald Fruit & Mercantile a couple of months back? The guy behind that venture, grape grower David Minick of Willow Crest Winery, has an underage assistant winemaker, Victor Palencia, who is suddenly all over the news.
Tim Egan has the story in today's New York Times (registration required). Anna King actually broke the story with this feature six weeks ago in Andy Perdue's Wine Press Northwest.
