Hollywood And Vine

Kyle MacLachlan, who plays Patricia Heaton’s fellow doc and potential love on Carol’s Second Act, is also one happy winemaker

LOS ANGELES IS JUST OVER 1,000 MILES FROM THE STARK yet fertile lands of eastern Washington state, where iconic actor Kyle MacLachlan (Twin Peaks) was born and raised—and often return to get back to his roots. Literally. “I head back to Washington to visit my brothers and check on my wine business called Pursued by Bear, made in Walla Walla,” says MacLachlan, who despite his list of famously trippy credits (Dune, Blue Velvet) is more Jimmy Stewart-like than Mr. Oh-So-Cool. The label’s 2015 cabernet sauvignon and syrah and last year’s rosé are all made from grapes picked in the Columbia Valley near the house where his dad, Kent, once plucked apples for cider and pies.
