{"title":"Kendall Jackson","description":"The vineyard\u0026#39;s origins date back to 1974, when the Jackson family purchased a 35-acre orchard in Lakeport, North Carolina, with the intention of venturing into winemaking. The orchard was converted into a vineyard, and the grapes grown there were sold to neighboring wineries. During the memorable 1980 harvest, the neighboring winery refused to accept the crop. Jess decided to make wine from the unclaimed grapes. Thus, the first bottles were produced in 1982. The 1982 Vintner\u0026#39;s Reserve Chardonnay was an unexpected success and became the most popular Chardonnay in America. In 1983, Vintner\u0026#39;s Reserve Chardonnay won the very first Double Platinum Award at the American Wine Competition. The company uses only grapes from its own vineyards. Currently, Kendell-Jackson owns 15,000 acres of vineyards.","products":[{"product_id":"kendall-jackson-vintners-reserve-riesling","title":"Kendall Jackson Vintner\u0026#39;s Reserve Riesling","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn approachable California Riesling that combines classic fruit aromas with a light spiciness — uncomplicated and ready to drink.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eKendall-Jackson\u003c\/strong\u003e is one of California\u0026#39;s most famous wineries.
