Burgess Cellars Chardonnay Burnside Road Russian River Valley 750 ml

Born in 1939, Tom Burgess grew up in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, in the northern part of the state. His father, Otis, was a co-founder of Morse Controls, and Tom?s summers were spent selling parts out of a station wagon for Morse Controls. He had an early exposure to wine in Ohio. Prohibition had closed down Ohio?s fine wineries, but by the time Tom was a teenager the industry had begun a modest recovery, and vineyards were beginning to appear on the shores of Lake Erie once again.
