HOW Wineries @ IPNC

JULY 24-26

Our 16 member association has two representat ives in this very prestigious Event. A tribute to the quality of vineya rds and wines in our area.

Lumos

The Lumos Wine Co., launched in 2000 by Dai Crisp and his wife and business partner, PK McCoy, is a sm all operation at just 3,000 cases per year. With the help of his dauntl ess crew, Dai grows all of the fruit that goes into the Lumos wines on three certified organic vineyards. The Pinot noir, Pinot gris, ros&eac ute;, and Gewürztraminer come from Temperance Hill Vineyard, Wr en Vineyard, and Logsdon Ridge Vineyard. Dai and Julia, close collabor ators in the winery, work together to carefully craft the wines with mi nimal intervention so that each clearly expresses the vintage both in te rms of weather and earthly origin. The wines are organic and salmon safe certified.
