The Tip is 'City Magazines' I was in the magazine section recently and saw the Indianapolis Monthly. The cover title read "Made In Indiana." I read the article and was amazed that all sorts of things were being made in the state. This is contrary to what most American's believe. Most of us think everything is made overseas. We still make the majority of what we consume and our buying tips we call Little Secrets help you realize that. Being from Indiana, I decided to visit several of the referenced web sites and I am proud to say I have purchased some of the best products ever. All thanks to the "City Monthly Magazine". 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!
