Winemaker's Choice: Alan & Linda Eaker of Longview Vineyard & Winery

Wine: 2006 Semi-dry Reisling

Food: Cherry marinaded pork tenderloin with cherry chutney

Why: I wanted to use local cherries and cherry wine in the preparation, and offer a white wine to compliment the pork, “the other white meat”. Sometimes folks tend to only think of white wines with chicken and fish, and I think that they will be pleasantly surprised by the combination.

Alan & Linda Eaker started their vineyard in 1998. With Longview Winery, he crafts award-winning wines that fulfill their vision of “the long view.”
