Working at has always been more than a job for me, it’s been an outlet. A place where I get to connect with people over a shared love of wine, stories, and slowing down long enough to truly enjoy what’s in the glass. 🍷

My attempt at making a political post not political.🫣Everyone thinks wine prices are going up because of inflation… but that’s not the whole story. I want to share something most wine drinkers don’t realize: wine tariffs matter, A LOT, and they affect every one of us.

The U.S. wine industry is one of the only import-driven industries that actually creates an economic surplus thanks to our unique 3-tier system. Because of that structure, wine keeps $18 billion right here in the U.S. each year.

Our industry is made up of:
🍷 47,000+ private retailers
🍷 6,000+ importers and distributors
🍷 350,000+ restaurants
🍷 More than 200,000 American jobs tied directly to wine

And here’s what most consumers don’t know:
➡️ We currently have a 15% tariff on wine, and there is talk of it increasing back to 25%, especially on French wines.
➡️ These tariffs hurt EVERYONE: shops, restaurants, wineries, and ultimately the consumer.
➡️ The majority of the U.S. wine industry agrees: the tariffs on imported wine need to go.

The US Wine Alliance is actively working on fighting these tariffs in the Supreme Court with the ultimate goal of:

✔️ No expansion of the current tariffs
✔️ Eventual exclusion of wine tariffs altogether

Most of the wine industry is built on small, family-run wineries, not giant corporations and many lawmakers don’t realize how much is at stake.

So what can you do?
❤️ Support your local wine shops
🍽️ Support independent restaurants
🍇 Buy from small, family-owned wineries not mass-produced brands from the grocery store.

Between the current economy and looming tariff changes, these businesses need us more than ever.

If you ever want help choosing great, small-production wines, I’m always here to guide you! 🍷💛

👋 Hi friends! I’m Kimberle, your Wine Educator at Deep Roots and I just recently got back from harvest in Washington State! 🍇 I’m so excited to share what makes this region one of the most unique wine-growing areas in the world.

Water, fire, and ice have all played a role in shaping Washington’s vineyards — from ancient basalt bedrock to the powerful Missoula floods, nature really left its mark here, and it shows in the glass.

Washington is actually the second largest wine region in the U.S., with over 1,000 wineries and 400 growers producing more than 80 grape varieties across 21 AVAs, that’s a lot of delicious diversity!

During peak growing season, the vines soak up about 17 hours of sunlight a day — an hour more than California ☀️ — and those cool nights help the grapes stay balanced with beautiful, fresh acidity.

Most Washington wineries are small and family-run with about 90% producing 5,000 cases or less which means you’re tasting something truly special and handcrafted.

If you love the richness of Napa but also the elegance of Bordeaux, Washington is the perfect in-between a little New World fruit with Old World style. 🍷

We’ll be tasting through 8 wines from this incredible region, including Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, Chenin Blanc, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon. I can’t wait to explore them with you and show you why Washington wines deserve a spot in your glass! ❤️🍷

It’s Global Champagne Day, and I’m over here reminiscing about my favorite wine region on earth…Champagne! 🇫🇷✨ The only problem? I haven’t spent nearly enough time there. 😅 Everyone knows I’m a bubbles girl through and through, but Champagne just hits different. Here’s to magic in every sip! 🥂

🤩 When I said I traveled to Italy for the grapes, I really meant it! 🍇

This ancient technique is called the Passito Method where grapes are carefully dried to concentrate their sugars and flavors. It only happens this time of year in the Northern Hemisphere, and witnessing it in person was incredible.

While many producers have modernized the process, we were lucky enough to see some truly traditional styles in Chianti for Vin Santo and in Valpolicella for Amarone.

The result? Rich, complex, beautifully expressive wines like:

🍷 Amarone della Valpolicella
🍷 Recioto della Valpolicella
🍷 Valpolicella Ripasso
🍷 Vin Santo

It’s a beautiful reminder that time and tradition are a vital role in making beautiful wines 🇮🇹

Oh Washington… what a trip! 🍷 Five days immersed in harvest season, exploring such a distinctive and underrated wine region, was truly unforgettable. Huge thanks to for curating an incredible journey with the absolute best people.

No set of 20 photos could ever capture it all…the laughter, the incredible food, the wines that surprised and inspired. This is a region to keep your eye on, don’t sleep on it. The finesse, the age-worthiness, and the heartfelt passion of the people behind every bottle are the real secret sauce.

Cheers to new experiences, new friendships, and an ever-deepening appreciation for what it takes to create that perfect glass of wine. ✨🍷
