When we first sat down with Becky and Deane, it was during the height of COVID and just as their tasting room was opening. Even then, their passion for winemaking, dedication to veterans, and clear long-term vision stood out as they began building something truly meaningful in North Carolina wine country. The original episode kicked off Season 3 of Cork Talk with <a href=\"http:\/\/ncwineguys.com\/index.php\/haze-gray-underway\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"10172\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Haze Gray &amp; Underway.<\/a>  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this updated episode, we reconnect to hear how much has changed over the past six years. Becky and Deane walk us through the expansion of their vineyard and wine portfolio and their focus on estate-grown and single-varietal red wines with extended aging. We also dive into how their wine blends continue to honor military-inspired veterans with unique military themed names, with sales of each bottle giving back to veteran organizations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you like this episode, please leave us a rating and review.
