On Wednesday, November 6, 2024, we had a chance to interview and catch up with Eric Flanagan and Riley Flanagan. Eric owns Flanagan Winery. Riley is the Assistant Sales Manager for Flanagan and the owner of Riley’s Rows. In our Zoom interview, we covered six Flanagan wines and two Riley’s Rows wines. We last interviewed Eric and Riley back in January 2024. In that interview, we covered two of Riley’s wines and five of the Flanagan Wines. Check out what we learned from Eric and Riley this time.
Before we get to the wines, I thought I would share some tidbits and updates with regards to Eric, Riley, Flanagan, and Riley’s Rows.
- Eric is back to bond trading as of July 1st. The timing and market is right for this.
- Riley is doing a majority of the wine related road trips these days.
- Riley’s wines can be found on Seabourn Cruises.
- The “Beauty of Three” wines are not available for retail. They are for on premise or in gift packages only.
- A vineyard designate wine is coming from their River Road Vineyard
