Benson Vineyards tells heartfelt story from vine to bottle.
A misty-eyed Scott Benson ’96 examined a single bottle of Ruby Port with a nostalgic grin on his face. The velvety dessert wine with the perfect amount of sweetness tugged at his heart strings. Standing in a chilled storage room surrounded by cases of wine, Benson said the Ruby Port is named after his grandmother. “It was a labor of love and a fitting wine for someone like her,” he said. The port was a three-year project, and Grandma Ruby never got the chance to drink it before she died in 2010. But her sweet memory lives on every time someone uncorks a bottle.“It’s a tribute to my Benson family roots,” Benson said.
