Video Tasting 2009 Sonoma Coast Pinot

Date: Mon, Feb 22, 2010 Winery Blogs

We were thrilled to receive the first barrel samples of our 2009 pinots last week.  First up, we taste our Sonoma Coast pinot noir from the Split Rock vineyard.  The wine exhibited some great fruit and earthiness.  One might even say it was a little funky.

The Sweetest Bread

Date: Wed, Feb 17, 2010 Winery Blogs

In the Broadway musical “You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown,” a bereft, famished Snoopy laments that Charlie Brown has forgotten his supper.  When Mr. Brown arrives moments later with his dog dish, Snoopy culls his deepest baritone and intones, “Behold!  This brimming bowl of meat and meal, which is brought forth to ease our hunger.”  [...]

RIP 2008 Anderson Valley Pinot

Date: Thu, Feb 4, 2010 Winery Blogs

We hardly knew thee.  Well, that’s not exactly true.  We actually knew you all too well. For those of you who have been following our journey since the beginning (almost 2 years!!), you’ll recall that our original plan included crafting two  different pinot noirs for our inaugural 2008 vintage – the Doctor’s Vineyard Pinot Noir from [...]

Wine Time

Date: Mon, Feb 1, 2010 Winery Blogs

Only one of my children is truly wine obsessed.  While we eat dinner, she waits patiently nearby, one ear tuned to the TV and the other to the clink of our glassware.  Every ten minutes, she saunters over to investigate.  “Is it wine time yet?”  she propositions.  Exasperated by the repeated interrogation, Brian and I [...]
