This is the final story of a four-part feature highlighting some of the most northerly, easterly, southerly, and westerly vineyards in Washington State. I nvolvement in Washington's wine industry, for many, starts with a passion for wine. Not so for Blain and Kim Roberts, owners of Westport Winery, one of the westernmost vineyards and wineries in Washington State. "Our vision started with wanting to be with our kids as they grew up and teaching them about love of land, love of entrepreneurship, and love of community," said Kim. "Our outlook was different than most because it didn't start with loving wine. It was about loving our family." 36 MARCH 1, 2014 GOOD FRUIT GROWER www.goodfruit.com McDougall & Sons, Inc., in partnership with Columbia Marketing International, is the exclusive licensee of the PLANT IMPROVEMENT CO.
