The Tip is 'Ask manufacturers' Some times I have run across an advertisement that implied a product was Made in USA but the product did not have the Made in USA label. Before I buy or put the product on my Made in USA list, I email the manufacturer and ask if their product is Made in USA. If they say yes I ask why their product is not labeled that way. Seldom will they tell me why but many times they will tell me every component that is Made in the USA and those that are not. I then make my decision about buying their product and put it on my list if they convince me. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Apex Cellars The Apex of Washington Wine Apex joined Yakima Valley's pioneering winemakers in 1988, with its original production facility in Sunnyside, Washington under the ownership of the Alhadeff family and famed winemaker, Brian Carter. Known as a super-premium label, its strengths garnered repeat acclaim in Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc, and Chardonnay. Apex joined the Precept Wine family in 2008, and we build upon that legacy today. Our winemaking team believes Apex has the best of both worlds: New World Washington State fruit and his commitment to Old World-style winemaking. The use of French oak for a buttery Chardonnay and bold, round reds for which Apex is beloved results in cellar-worthy wines each year. Production happens in two places: on-site at our Alder Ridge Winery next to our estate vineyard, where meticulous hand-sorting and processes such as open fermentation optimize these small-lot gems, and a dedicated aromatics winery in Prosser, Washington, where Apex's Sauvignon Blanc comes to life each year. With a relentless pursuit of perfection, we're certain you'll enjoy the Apex of Washington Wine!
