We were excited to see Helen Turley of Marcassin Vineyard gracing the cover of this month’s copy of Wine Spectator Magazine. Helen Turley is one of the most influential woman wine makers in the world today and we are proud to say that her Marcassin Vineyard was one of the first wineries to purchase a Skolnik stainless steel wine barrel. Turley’s reputation in the wine world is only preceded by her amazing wines, cabernets, chardonnays, zinfandels and pinot noirs. Known as a perfectionist, we like the fact that Helen is not only involved in the wine making process, but also deeply involved in the vineyard as well, terrior being just as important proper aging. During her 30 plus year career, Turley has worked for several wineries that Skolnik also proudly calls our customers; Bryant Family Vineyard, BR Cohn, Blankiet and Pahlmeyer Winery. It is reported that Turley and her husband John are working on a book, with a working title of Marcassin: The Making of a Winemaker. We look forward to buying our own copy and reading more about this amazing wine maker.
