{"title":"Joseph Swan","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere are fewer and fewer places that feel like old-school Sonoma these days, but Joseph Swan Vineyards is like a step back in time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJoe Swan had no family wine background, and in fact made his first wine from rhubarb from his family's North Dakota farm, using his mother's washing machine and a crock. But he was a voracious reader and French wine lover who was enamored with the idea of a small winery that could be tended with care by one person from the vineyard to the cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJoe founded what would become one of the great Russian River gems in 1968, and today, everything from the unassuming, garagiste tasting room to the elegant, silky wines is as genuine and honest as ever. Best of all, this house believes in keeping a deep library, so there are gorgeous and ready-to-go Swan wines to be found if you know where to look. (More than one somm has been tricked into putting these wines, tasted blind, in Burgundy.)\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/collections\/joseph-swan.oembed","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
