Vintner's Spotlight
Michael Panczak - White Hall Vineyards

 

Hometown: Norristown, PA

Item that is always in your fridge: Beer, Fresh Salsa

Most challenging wine pairing: Salad with Balsamic Vinegar

Best thing about the Virginia Wine Industry: The opportunity to grow. It reminds me of Santa Barbara when I was there 20 years ago. We are not set in our ways regarding varietals. We are only limited by our imagination (and Mother Nature)

Worst thing about the Virginia Wine Industry: Lack of cohesiveness all wineries are not on the same page. Some wineries have become more interested in events rather than wine.

Favorite Bumper Sticker or saying: World Domination through Vintification

Comfort Food: Cheese and Bread

Most embarrassing moment: In college, I once “borrowed” a large expensive painting from the Student Union and took it back to hang in the fraternity house. I then left for a day at the lake. I returned that evening to find several humorless members of the State Police at the house.

Most over rated virtue: Being Quiet

Favorite Wine: Foxen Seasmoke Pinot Noir
