Windfall Winery PO Box 1736 Friday Harbor, WA 98250

The winery produces only pear wine under winemaker Larry Soll. Asian Pears are purchased from grower cooperatives in Oregon and Washington. As soon as is practical after harvest, the fruit is crushed and the juice extracted in a cider mill. The cooled juice is transported to the winery in Prosser, Washington where it is placed in stainless steel fermentors. After adjusting the acidity and sugar content, the juice is inoculated and fermentation is allowed to proceed under rigorously controlled conditions until all of the available sugar has been converted to alcohol. The wine is removed from its lees and allowed to age for several months during which time it is exposed to oak to mellow and add complexity. During this time, the wine is filtered several times and, when it is "ready", bottled under sterile conditions. The resulting wine is golden and crystal clear, with an alcohol content of between 11 and 12% ALL of the profits from the sale of Windfall Winery's AP wine are being donated to community land trusts. A portion will support the San Juan Community Home Trust, their local land trust, while additional contributions will be made to sister organizations wherever the wine is sold.
