Niantic Showcases Stomping Horse Wines

By January 30, 2024Connecticut, Top News

Stomping Horse wines were showcased at Dev’s on Main in Niantic on Dec. 15. Stomping Horse was founded by Dawn Page, Steven Shewbrooks and Byron Brewer. Horse lovers, wine lovers and philanthropists, the team set out to create fine wine that brought together their passions in a fully realized Connecticut-based wine company whose offerings are bottled directly at the vineyard in Washington State’s Columbia Valley. Dev’s on Main hosted the team and its wines for guests, showcasing its first white and red releases, each named with a horse-meets-wine play on words: Stomping Horse Chardonneigh Washington Columbia Valley 2021, 100% Chardonnay, and Thoroughblend 2020, 65% Mourvèdre, 27% Syrah, 5% Grenache, 1% Cabernet Sauvignon and 1% Viognier, from Washington’s Yakima and Columbia valleys. Guests paired the wines with small bites prepared by Chef Rachel Devendittis. Gift bags featuring Stomping Horse wines were available for shoppers looking to complete their holiday shopping. The wine brand is distributed in Connecticut via Votto Vines.
