Why Goat Rocks?
The Goat Rocks are an area of the Cascade Mountain Range in Central Washington State. This area between Mt. Rainier to the north and Mt. Adams to the south is a remnant of a volcano believed to have last erupted 2 million years ago. The volcano also created the lava flow that became an area known as Naches Heights just outside Yakima including the town of Cowiche. This is where we live with our mom, Beth.
Naches Heights recently gained distinction as a unique wine growing area by the federal TTB, and Naches Heights AVA was recognized in late 2011. We don't grow any wine grapes here yet and currently purchase grapes from other vineyards in the Yakima area, but have a few acres that might get planted when other projects are finished and allow.
We don't own any goats yet either, but have two ferocious, but lazy, winery cats, Sarge and Frank.
