Dr Frank said, “Americans should drink the best" and as his “Cooperator” his tradition of growing Vitis vinifera continues here. Arne's other mentors include Philip Wagner, Andre Tchelischeff and Doug Moorhead. Linda has worked with Markko vines and wines for the past 32 years. Her palette, as a super taster, helps Markko wine express its true character.
