Los Angeles-based writer ELYSE GLICKMAN’s last
story for TASTE&TRAVEL was about Bergen.
the couple opened a new tasting room and patio, just in time to
introduce their expressions of Tempranillo and Fion Deargs. Torr
Na Lochs also cultivates Syrah, Malbec and Petite Sirah varietals
with sustainable farming methods.
The young winery has hit the ground running, with several of
its estate-produced wines winning medals at both the Houston
Livestock Show & Rodeo 2017 Rodeo Uncorked Wine
Competition and the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition.
Like many beer-loving young couples, physicians Dave and
Quynh Rathkamp traded in their day jobs for brewers’
equipment and a dream. However, their mission transcended the
challenge of successfully creating a portfolio of Belgian-style
brews running the gamut from refreshing IPAs to hearty dark
ales. Their Save the World Brewing Company is America’s first
100-percent philanthropic craft brewery. While Quynh
emphasizes that the company’s mission emerged from their
“shared Christian values,” the non-denominational charities
(including Habitat for Humanity and Meals on Wheels)
supported by their proceeds mean that beer lovers of all faiths
can pause for the cause and enjoy the beers and fun ambiance
of the tasting room.APRIL–JUNE 2019 TAST E& TRAVEL INTERNATIONAL 39
