Bethany Kimmel makes her small production wines under the name Color Collector in an old barn on her 20 acre property in White Salmon, Washington in the Columbia River Gorge. Her vermouth is infused with botanicals she gathers herself, some cultivated in her garden, some growing wild in the fields around her home. Sweetened with local honey, it is lighter than is typical of red vermouths and offers a pretty, nuanced, vinous character and restrained bitterness, and is lovely on its own after a meal. Handmade in extremely small quantities.
