Ideal Bite

Here's a new motto: Always be prepared with a bottle from Badger Mountain Vineyard, the first one certified organic by the Washington State Department of Agriculture. Two versatile holiday picks: BMV's crisp 2007 Organic Riesling NSA (no sulfites added), great with spicy foods, pork dishes, and sushi; and the velvety smooth 2006 Organic Syrah NSA, tasty with slow-cooked beef, or grilled portobellos or sausages. To boot, the vineyard‘s tasting room in Kennewick is outfitted with solar panels, and BMV's organic practices will keep pesticides and other chems off the Earth and outta your bod - scout's honor.
