History & Overview: Nestled in the foothills of Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains near Lynchburg Poplar Grove is famed as the final course design influenced by golf legend Sam Snead (in collaboration with architect Ed Carton) the course quickly garnered acclaim – including being named a Golf Digest “Best New Upscale Public Course” in 2005 As host of the NCAA Amherst Regional in May 2025 Poplar Grove brings both a rich legacy and a top-notch collegiate test Design & Layout: Poplar Grove’s design reflects Snead’s player-friendly philosophy rolling fairways that only tighten at the farthest hitting areas Snead despised overly penal multi-tiered greens gently contoured putting surfaces – “catcher’s mitt” greens that welcome well-struck approaches Bunkers are strategically placed around those ample greens to create challenge via hole locations rather than severe slopes The front nine plays downhill off the first tee (Snead liked to start players off easy) and many tee boxes sit on elevated promontories to provide vistas and avoid uphill drives A recent renovation in 2019 refreshed bunkers ensuring the course meets modern championship standards Notable Tournaments: Despite its relative youth Poplar Grove has hosted numerous high-level events It has been a regular site for the Virginia State Mid-Amateur Championship where top amateurs have battled its layout (including a final-round 63 to clinch the 2020 title) The club notes it has welcomed professional mini-tour events and NCAA Division I competitions in the past The 2025 regional will mark the first NCAA Men’s Regional held here under Liberty University’s host stewardship putting Poplar Grove on the national collegiate stage Scoring Trends & Challenges: Poplar Grove offers a balance of scoring opportunity and subtle defense Its generous fairways and receptive greens can yield low scores in benign conditions – evidenced by state mid-am champions going deep in the red rolling terrain and native hardwoods lining the roughs can quickly penalize errant shots Several lakes and creeks come into play on approach golfers can expect mild temperatures in the 70s°F and occasional spring breezes off the mountains Soft spring turf might make the course play longer steady play; aggressive players will find birdies available if they take advantage of the wide landing areas while avoiding Poplar Grove’s well-placed bunkers and natural hazards Player Impressions: Past competitors praise the course’s mix of forgiveness and finesse The wide corridors off the tee give a comforting visual but the real test comes on and around the greens “You won’t get beat up off the tee here – it’s all about the second shot,” one state amateur champion noted emphasizing how approach positioning is key Pros and college players alike appreciate the scenic Blue Ridge backdrop and the “sneaky tough” nature of a layout that looks scoreable but demands focus Poplar Grove is “a rare design inspired by Sam Snead with modern touches – a Virginia golf treasure” expect players to enjoy the experience – but also be pushed to execute under pressure on this iconic Snead creation History & Reputation: Gold Mountain’s Olympic Course is a Pacific Northwest gem that will host the NCAA Bremerton Regional in 2025 Opened in 1996 and designed by John Harbottle III this public course quickly rose to prominence with its striking setting and championship-caliber layout The Olympic Course has a storied resume: it hosted the 2006 U.S Amateur Public Links (won by Casey Watabu over Anthony Kim) and the 2011 U.S Regularly ranked among Washington’s best public tracks Gold Mountain is known for its towering evergreens and ability to challenge even elite players Design & Course Layout: Carved through dense forest on the Kitsap Peninsula the Olympic Course stretches over 7,100 yards of lush The design is classic Northwest parkland: fairways framed by tall firs and cedars with underbrush and wetlands awaiting any big misses Harbottle’s design incorporates significant elevation changes – expect elevated tees overlooking valley fairways and the Olympic Mountains peeking through the trees on clear days Water is in play on a few holes (a meandering creek and small lakes) but the primary defenses are strategic bunkering and the subtly contoured Poa annua greens and has a reputation for “scenic beauty that can distract and difficulty that can bite back” as one local put it and players often pause to appreciate the tranquility before focusing on the next shot Notable Tournaments: Gold Mountain has proven worthy of high-level competition it was the site of Washington’s home NCAA regional in 2015 where eventual champion UAB’s Martin Rohwer fired a course-record 64 (-8) in the final round The course has also hosted multiple conference championships and U.S previously won the 2010 regional here on their home turf These events have showcased the Olympic Course’s ability to identify top talent – winning scores are typically around par in championship conditions indicating a layout that tests every facet of a golfer’s game Scoring Factors & May Conditions: Scoring at Gold Mountain’s regional will heavily depend on ball-striking and patience The course has proven it “has teeth” – in one NCAA Regional opener Precision off the tee is vital; the fairways are generous in spots but straying into the trees or thick rough almost guarantees a punch-out The greens are moderate in size with subtle breaks and players who hit the wrong section face tricky two-putts A key challenge is the mental discipline to take your medicine when necessary; as Sam Houston State’s coach noted during a past regional We need to shoot two good rounds under par [to have a chance]” Bremerton’s weather is mild (highs ~65°F) but variable – rain showers or a chilly breeze off Puget Sound can roll in while firm spring turf makes approaches run fast Look for teams that can adjust to the Pacific Northwest climate and remain patient to thrive here Player Insights: Competitors often rave about the beauty of Gold Mountain while respecting its challenge *“As scenic and beautiful as this place is emphasizing that wayward shots are severely penalized in the trees The backdrop of snow-capped Olympic Mountains and the silent stillness among the pines create a memorable atmosphere for college golfers Former regional participants recall how the course demands “total concentration on each shot” despite the postcard-worthy views The consensus: Gold Mountain offers a fair test – strong ball-strikers and confident putters can score in the 60s but an unfocused stretch can just as easily lead to bogeys This balance of beauty and rigor is exactly why it’s an ideal venue to decide who moves on to the NCAA Finals History & Background: Atkins Golf Club at the University of Illinois is a newly revitalized championship venue set to host the NCAA Urbana Regional in 2025 Originally opened in 1999 as Stone Creek Golf Club the course was gifted to the university in 2020 and underwent a transformative renovation Reopened in 2022 and renamed in honor of the Atkins family this course is now the Illini golf teams’ home turf and a centerpiece of Midwest collegiate golf It’s the first time Illinois hosts an NCAA men’s regional and fittingly they’ll do so on a course they rebuilt into a championship test Design & Renovation Details: The 2020–2022 redesign by architect Drew Rogers elevated Atkins GC into a modern challenge All 18 greens were rebuilt (many in new locations) all bunkers were reconstructed with a high-tech drainage system and new tees were added to stretch the layout beyond 7,500 yards The result is a par-71 course that can play up to ~7,530 yards making it one of the longest in college golf The routing winds through former cornfields turned upscale housing development featuring a parkland style with wide zoysia fairways and several water hazards from the property’s namesake Stone Creek and a gentle but steady breeze often sweeps the central Illinois landscape Atkins boasts immaculate Bentgrass greens that are firm and true – but contoured enough to keep even elite putters on their toes Atkins Golf Club has quickly proven its mettle Illinois has hosted its annual Fighting Illini Spring Collegiate here where in 2024 the winning team score was a mere 2-under-par – a whopping 26 strokes clear of the next best team the event saw no team finish under par for 54 holes underscoring how demanding the course can play This Urbana Regional will be the course’s first NCAA postseason event but many teams got a preview through regular-season tournaments Players have noted that the 7,500-yard setup (at par 71) is the longest they encounter all year With Illinois’s program among the nation’s best Atkins has also hosted Big Ten match play events and served as a proving ground for future pros training under coach Mike Small Key Challenges & May Conditions: At Atkins sheer length is the most obvious challenge – long irons and hybrids into par-4s will be common if spring winds blow scoring is still attainable with smart play reflecting the course’s origins as a public club The approach shots are where Atkins defends itself: many greens are elevated or protected by water and almost all are flanked by deep bunkers The new greens have subtle ridges and sections – being on the right tier is critical for birdie chances Urbana’s weather is mild to warm (70–80°F) but often breezy Winds across the flat terrain can gust 10–20 mph affecting club selection on those long approaches which could soften greens (making them more receptive) but also stretch the course’s effective yardage Expect scores around par to be very competitive As Ball State’s coach remarked after a recent event *“18 pars on this golf course today is really good” – consistency and avoiding big mistakes will be the recipe for advancing Player/Coach Perspectives: Players commend the “championship feel” of Atkins Golf Club The University of Illinois spared no expense in creating a venue on par with top tournament sites Coaches have praised the flexibility of the design – multiple teeing options can drastically change a hole’s character Low numbers are out there (the course record 64 was carded by an Illini player in a casual round) The course rewards creativity around the greens as well; the closely mown run-offs allow for bump-and-runs or high floaters testing a player’s short-game arsenal Illinois’s familiarity with every contour could be an edge but visiting teams with bombers off the tee or confident long-iron players will also relish the test Atkins Golf Club has quickly become an NCAA-caliber venue ready to identify the best of the best Course Overview & History: The Auburn University Club (AU Club) is a private 18-hole course that serves as the home of Auburn University’s golf teams Established in 1999 on 225 acres of rolling Alabama countryside it was designed by architect Bill Bergin (an Auburn alumnus) to challenge elite players while accommodating club members this course will host the NCAA Auburn Regional giving the defending national champion Auburn Tigers a home-course advantage in their quest to return to the finals The AU Club has been a cornerstone of Auburn’s golf program and a frequent site of collegiate tournaments no-gimmicks design and first-class practice facilities Design & Layout: Playing to roughly 7,326 yards from the back “Auburn” tees (and extendable beyond 7,500 yards for championships) the AU Club is a par-72 layout routed through dense trees and around wetlands The course has a traditional feel: Bermuda grass fairways and TifEagle greens with numerous bunkers and a handful of water hazards in play The opening and closing holes of each nine feature the most dramatic elevation changes – gentle hills that can create tricky uphill or downhill lies Many other holes play through flatter terrain framed by pines and hardwoods Water comes into play notably on the par-3 8th (the signature hole The greens are average-to-large sized but have enough slope to demand precise putts especially as they can get quick in tournament conditions the course is solid and straightforward – what you see is what you get It’s a course that puts execution front and center Tournament History: The Auburn University Club has hosted the annual Tiger Invitational (a major college event) for over a decade along with numerous NCAA Sectional qualifiers and state amateurs It is considered a championship test – in the 2024 Tiger Invitational not a single player finished under par for 54 holes and the strong Auburn team was the only squad to post an under-par round during the event a whopping 15 shots clear of the runner-up illustrating how difficult the course played for the field These kinds of results are common: scores around even par often win tournaments here The 2025 regional will be the first NCAA Regional held at AU Club replacing Karsten Creek (Oklahoma State) as a last-minute host – and it promises to put teams through a rigorous exam Auburn’s familiarity with the course (and recent championship experience) will make them favorites but every team will need to bring its best to conquer this track Scoring Dynamics & Weather: The AU Club is known to “show its teeth” when set up for competition Its combination of length and penalty areas demands both distance and accuracy Tee shots require choosing the correct lines around doglegs and avoiding fairway bunkers When played at its full 7,591-yard tournament length even par can be a stellar score – in one recent event Auburn’s 4-under team round was the only sub-par round by any team The course’s difficulty lies in how it punishes mistakes: a slightly pushed drive might find the treeline (forcing a punch-out) or a timid approach could catch a greenside bunker or water hazard tend to be firm and surrounded by run-offs that repel marginal shots so saving par often requires creativity and touch May in Auburn is warm and humid (80s°F typical) which can lead to fast-growing Bermuda rough and potentially quick greens if it’s been dry Thunderstorms are not uncommon in late spring; soft conditions would make the course play longer but could help approach shots hold Players will need to manage the heat and stay mentally sharp Expect the region’s individual scores to hover in the low 70s – anything in the 60s will be an exceptional round will secure one of the five coveted NCAA finals spots here Player Feedback: Collegiate players respect (and perhaps fear) the AU Club It’s often described as a “big tough golf course” that nevertheless is fair There are no hidden tricks – if you execute well including a long par-4 17th and risk-reward par-5 18th has decided many tournaments and will add drama at the regional Players enjoy the pristine conditioning and the feeling of isolation on each hole (houses are largely out of view Auburn players mention that patience is key on their home course: “We know even par is a good day out here,” one Tiger golfer said That mentality – taking what the course gives and avoiding the big number – will likely determine who moves on from the Auburn Regional Introduction & Heritage: Set high in the Sierra Nevada foothills above Reno Montreux Golf & Country Club offers a dramatic mountain stage for the NCAA Reno Regional in 2025 This private club opened in 1998 and is the only Jack Nicklaus Signature Design in northern Nevada Montreux was home to the PGA Tour’s Reno-Tahoe Open (later known as the Barracuda Championship) from 1999 through 2019 establishing its reputation as a stern-yet-beautiful test of golf The course sits at approximately 5,500–6,000 feet elevation making it one of the highest venues used in PGA competition With its alpine setting and Nicklaus-crafted design Montreux is often described as picturesque and challenging in equal measure – a “thrilling mountain course” that leaves a lasting impression on competitors Design Features: Nicklaus designed Montreux as a traditional championship course infused with mountain character It stretches to about 7,552 yards at par 72 from the tips though the thin mountain air adds extra carry to every shot (golfers can expect roughly a 5-10% increase in distance on their drives and irons) The layout winds through towering pines and high desert scrub on the edge of the Sierra Nevada range Fairways are generally generous and lined with tall Jeffrey and Ponderosa pines and over 70 bright-white sand bunkers dot the course to defend ideal landing areas Montreux’s front nine plays through more open high-desert terrain while the back nine ascends into denser forest and elevation change A trio of holes Nicklaus dubbed “The Bear Trap” (Nos 8) presents water-laden peril – including a gorgeous lakeside par-3 with a steeply undulating green and a split-fairway par-5 with a creek – all with snow-capped mountain backdrops The par-3 17th is another signature: its tee sits 138 feet above the green offering a panoramic view and a nerve-testing downhill shot over native brush Montreux’s bentgrass greens are fast and true though reading the subtle mountain effects (putts may break differently due to the mountain pull) adds complexity the course blends ample beauty with strategic design – playable for members but a beast when stretched out for tournament play Tournament Pedigree: Few college regional sites can match Montreux’s professional tournament pedigree and more tame its fairways in the Modified Stableford scoring format of the Barracuda Championship but Montreux still demanded quality shot-making – TV coverage often showed players navigating its “towering pines and mountain streams” with equal parts awe and focus The course was also ranked among Golf Digest’s top ten new private courses in the country when it debuted Open local qualifiers and state championships The 2025 regional will introduce a new generation of collegiate players to Montreux’s challenges Expect teams from lower elevations to prepare extensively for the altitude adjustment (many arrive days early to get yardages dialed in) Knowing how the ball flies at 5,500 feet – and how to manage the occasional thin air misjudgment – can be a deciding factor the Wolf Pack will aim to leverage local knowledge of the course’s quirks Scoring Factors & Conditions: Montreux can yield birdies in bunches The high elevation means approach shots fly farther and straighter but it also makes distance control critical – wedges can easily carry 5–10 yards long if not calibrated The course’s fairways are fairly wide by design (Nicklaus gave room off the tee) but stray too far and you’re in pine needles or native sagebrush The rough is a bluegrass/fescue blend that is not as thick as humid-climate courses but the uneven lies on the mountainside can hamper control The primary defenses are the water hazards (especially on that dangerous Bear Trap stretch) and the bunkers guarding nearly every green When the wind kicks up in the afternoons – and Reno is known for occasional gusty winds off the mountains – even those wide fairways start to feel narrow weather in Reno is generally dry and sunny with highs around 70°F Wind is the wild card; a calm day could see teams go low in the thin air while a blustery day might bring scores back to par or worse One tournament director described Montreux succinctly that means players must balance aggression with respect Reaching par-5s in two is feasible (and even expected for long hitters given the altitude) but precision on the short approaches and par-3s will likely decide the day A winning team score in the single digits under par for three rounds would reflect very strong play Montreux will be the most breathtaking course they’ve competed on and the ball flying further than ever tends to energize golfers *“Everybody wants to feel like a hero [at altitude],”* said one local pro noting how even a mid-handicapper can feel the thrill of hitting one club less than norma That boost in distance can boost confidence – but it can also lead to over-aggression Veterans of Montreux advise newcomers to focus on shot execution and not get lulled by the scenery laying up on the split-fairway 8th or the downhill 17th might be wiser than chasing a pin Players who competed in the old PGA event often speak fondly of Montreux’s signature moments – the bear statue by the 6th tee the view from 17 – and collegians will get to make their own memories in those spots the consensus is likely to be that Montreux was a thrilling The teams that solve the altitude and embrace the environment will have earned their ticket out of Reno and on to the NCAA Championship Course History & Renovation: Florida State University’s Seminole Legacy Golf Club is a brand-new incarnation of a historic course poised to host the NCAA Tallahassee Regional in 2025 Formerly known as Don Veller Seminole Golf Course (opened 1962) the course was completely redesigned in 2018–2020 by the Nicklaus Design Company emerging as one of the premier collegiate golf facilities in the nation Jack Nicklaus and his son Jack Nicklaus II collaborated on this “Nicklaus Legacy” project – the first of its kind in North America – transforming the old layout into a modern 7,240-yard the new Seminole Legacy Golf Club immediately garnered praise with Sports Illustrated calling it a perfect blend of Golden Age strategy and contemporary challenge As the home course for FSU’s golf teams it offers an NCAA Championship-quality experience on campus ready to identify those worthy of advancing to Omni La Costa Design & Layout: The redesign left only one original hole untouched – everything else is new The course now sprawls over rolling terrain uncommon in Florida taking full advantage of Tallahassee’s elevation changes and mature live oak forests It can play as long as 7,800 yards from the absolute back tees (though a more typical championship setup is around 7,300 yards) Eight sets of tees make it highly flexible for all skill levels The routing is notable for its variety: there are long demanding holes like the par-4 5th (which can stretch over 500 yards uphill) and shorter risk-reward holes like the drivable par-4 13th when downwind Nicklaus II’s design philosophy emphasizes bold bunkering Many holes feature carries over or around new lakes – for instance and the par-5 8th now has a lake running along the entire left side after the redesign Perhaps most striking are the greens: there are no flat surfaces to be found meaning approach shots must be precise to set up birdies but with a modern edge – wide fairways bordered by pine straw and sand waste areas in places Tallahassee’s signature oak trees and pines frame many vistas The Nicklaus team also added a new practice facility and a 9-hole short course making Seminole Legacy a complete golf complex Tournaments & Accolades: Since reopening Seminole Legacy has been the site of the Seminole Intercollegiate and Florida State’s annual PGA Tour-style college event the FSU men’s team won the 2023 Seminole Intercollegiate by an astounding 38 strokes finishing at 34-under-par – showcasing that home knowledge (and talent) can conquer the course when another strong team (Ole Miss) won the 2024 edition at –13 individual medalist honors were decided at –5 the course still held plenty of challenge: The course has quickly climbed rankings; it was honored by golf media as one of the top collegiate courses and noted for its comprehensive $10 million transformation While 2025 will be its first time hosting an NCAA Regional it has hosted NCAA Women’s Regional qualifiers (simulated and actual) and is slated for many future championships The Nicklaus design was explicitly tailored to test elite college players and FSU’s coaches had input in its creation – so expect every aspect of Seminole Legacy to be geared toward identifying the best teams From long approach shots to delicate pitches Regional Scoring & Conditions: Seminole Legacy’s difficulty lies in its all-around rigor and there are severely contoured greens – a bit of everything Scoring will depend on weather and execution Tallahassee is typically hot and humid (mid-80s°F) and the Bermuda grass will be thriving Afternoon pop-up thunderstorms could soften the course or interrupt play fast greens and fairways that provide some roll One key factor is the terrain: unlike the flat courses Florida is known for this layout has significant elevation changes that can affect club selection and cause awkward stances Climbing the big hill from 17 green to 18 tee players know the finish is in sight but also feel the burn of the walk – endurance and hydration are important We could see low scores if players drive it well (the fairways are generous) and figure out the greens But a moment of indecision or a short-sided approach can lead to bogey or worse in a hurry the course combines “accuracy-based parkland-style golf” with classic strategic elements – meaning wayward bombs won’t prosper without precision Teams that can hit greens in regulation will have the upper hand as chipping off tight run-offs to elevated pins is a nervy proposition here Look for winning scores in the vicinity of 10-under for the team over three rounds if conditions are calm and closer to even par if the winds or nerves kick up on these undulating greens Quotable & Player Impressions: Those who have played Seminole Legacy often talk about its “wow” factor FSU’s coach Trey Jones has called the course a championship playground that elevates his program’s training summed up the experience: *“Our golf course is flexible—to be enjoyed by all levels of golfers FSU now has a championship golf course that… [offers] fun golf strategy with risk/reward highlighted with majestic live oak trees and inviting contours.” Indeed players enjoy the natural beauty – massive oaks draped in Spanish moss and the occasional wildlife sighting remind you you’re in Florida’s Panhandle But they also quickly note the challenge: *“You can’t fake it around here,”* one college player said referencing the need to hit solid shots and stay below the hole on these fast greens College golfers who have competed here remark that it prepares you for professional golf with its length and complexity expect plenty of chatter about the brutal bunkers the tricky par-3 16th (which features a narrow green guarded by sand and water) and the massive double-green shared by 9 and 18 that provides a grandstand finish by the clubhouse Seminole Legacy Golf Club is a modern championship course built for drama – perfectly fitting for a do-or-die NCAA Regional where only the best will advance Each of these six regional courses offers a unique examination but they share a common purpose: to identify the teams and players most prepared for the ultimate stage The NCAA Regionals are the gateway to the NCAA Championships and only the top five teams (and lowest-scoring individual not on those teams) from each site will survive the gauntlet From the Blue Ridge Mountains to the Pacific Northwest and from the Sierras to the Sunshine State the 2025 regional hosts will demand the very best from collegiate golfers Those who adapt and excel will move on to Omni La Costa Resort & Spa in Carlsbad California – the iconic venue for the NCAA Finals – where a national champion will be crowned The margin for error is razor thin at this level; a single stroke can be the difference between extending the season or heading home expect high drama and inspired performances at these regionals The reward for conquering courses like Poplar Grove and Seminole Legacy is a ticket to La Costa and a chance to compete for college golf’s grandest prize The journey to California runs through each of these challenging venues six formidable courses – the stage is set Perform well under pressure at these venues and your season continues at Omni La Costa regional success is the key to keeping championship hopes alive.* Home  |  Tournaments  |  Courses  |  Equipment  |  Players  |  Rankings  |  About Us  |  Contact Email notifications are only sent

and the Yakima Valley but made in British Columbia “The Cascadia Series was born from necessity shaped by the unprecedented challenges of the January 2024 deep freeze that severely impacted vineyards across our region,” said Daphne Scromeda I admire the honesty and may the coming harvest be free from trouble so the Poplar Grove team can return to 100 per cent B.C It has good balance and is very food-friendly You’ll want to pour this one on repeat this summer maybe a goat cheese and pistachio flatbread or roast chicken or pork tenderloin It’s true that I don’t typically write about spirits in this column but I couldn’t resist when some samples from Heritage Acres landed on my desk the distillery was started by Chris and Jen Noske Chris went prospecting with his grandfather a passion he continues with the packaging and stories behind the distillery’s creations I immediately gravitated toward the limoncello Music pairing: Somewhere Sweet by Scott Helman Wine: Blasted Church 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Why drink it: What a sassy label — nuns scribbling graffiti the words “Jesus Saves,” on a wall But the wine itself is a real crowd-pleaser with smooth tannins and plenty of delicious dark ripe fruit and mocha flavours and aromas barbecues and sitting around a campfire with friends steak with butter-fried mushrooms and Vancouver Island sea salt a wedge of well-aged Parmigiano or very old cheddar Why drink it: Coolshanagh is a Gaelic word that means “a meeting place of friends.” It is also the name of a vineyard north of Naramata renowned for its calcium

evaded police Baltimore County Police continue to look for answers the best wineries work on a different scale of time than the rest of us or entertainment—the world of wine does not as a rule reward the latest and greatest new thing part of the appeal of wine is waiting—for ripeness That is not to say that wineries don’t jump the gun In the “New World” (regions other than Europe and the Middle East) especially releasing too many wines too soon and losing their sense of identity along the way There are myriad reasons for a winery to release lots of wine and quickly many of them coming down to sheer economics releasing a large number without expensive cellaring is the easiest way for wineries to pay them Understandably concerned with their bottom line many winery proprietors take the fast lane Tony Holler is not one of those proprietors Holler, who has owned the Naramata Bench’s Poplar Grove Winery along with his wife It is already well-known for waiting painstaking amounts of time to release many of their red wines Following a recent visit to Château de Beaucastel one of the great estates of the Southern Rhône where he was able to taste wines from the past 50 vintages he is planning an expanded cellaring program at the winery “It struck me that no one in the Okanagan does this No one cellars their wines and does a release at 10 years,” says Holler Poplar Grove’s assistant winemaker who was tasked with the pinot noir winemaking program the production of the first vintage went off without a hitch “Dan Marshall just became a complete pinot noir nerd about vinifying this properly,” Holler says I remember you’d see his truck at the warehouse seven days a week for months because he was so obsessed with doing a great job.” underripe red fruit flavours and wiry acid backbone Poplar Grove’s tried-and-true wines are also still humming along maintaining the award-winning quality standards that have installed and kept the estate in the upper-tier of Okanagan wineries for decades packed with enticing notes of peach and mint The 2020 cabernet franc epitomizes what the grape can do in the Okanagan exploding with sage brush and tobacco before tempering into a medley of licorice The 2018 vintage of Poplar Grove’s icon wine features well-integrated tannins that will carry its flavours of chocolate While its first pinot noir shows that Arnason and company have the chops to produce wines outside of Poplar Grove’s excellent Holler plans on being characteristically patient with any further experimentation “I need to have five years of fantastic pinot noirs made before I would consider anything else.” Pinot Gris 2023 Rosé 2022 Cabernet Franc 2020 Merlot 2020 Pinot Noir 2022 The Legacy 2018 SALT LAKE CITY — Salt Lake police on Sunday

be used for the actual solar farm The company says the remaining land and open fields will go untouched During the Board of Supervisors public hearing on the development on August 20 the Amherst County director of community development said the project will provide energy from Ohio and all the way down to Tennessee "As soon as energy hits the grid it goes everywhere," Creasy said It would've covered 400 acres and generated 50 megawatts of electricity "Since then the county's gone through a code change that only allows sites only 50 acres under panel New Leaf said they're planning to create a 150-foot step-back vegetation buffer to block visibility to the site Jacob Mast is the head golf professional at the Poplar Grove Golf Course across the street but he's not expecting much of an issue "All of our houses are facing that direction which is the opposite way of the solar farm coming in so for the Amherst County residents that live in Poplar Grove I don't think it's going to affect them terribly," Mast said New Leaf said they're also applying a 50-foot vegetation buffer to the 2.5 acres of wetlands on the site The project is also under Appalachian Power's Shared Solar Program which will allow Amherst County residents to switch to solar and get 10 percent off their bill Utah passed away peacefully on Friday August 30 He graduated from West High School in Salt Lake
