CigarBQ

On June 14th Rielle will be participating in CigarBQ

This is one of our favorite Sonoma County events! John will be playing in the golf tournament with Brendan Malm of Malm Cellars. Should be lots of fun, great wines, food and amazing cigars!

Bottling 2006 Chardonnay and Pinot Noir

We will be bottling our 2006 Anderson Valley Chardonnay and Pinot Noir on Monday June 9th. Bottling is a busy time for us, when all our efforts come together into our finished wines. We are really looking forward to sharing these wines, 2006 was a great vintage for Anderson Valley and the wines are well balanced and full bodied with fresh ripe flavors. Great food wines!

Newport Bay Food and Wine Festival

We spent Memorial Day weekend in southern California, making deliveries in San Diego and participating in the Newport Bay Food and Wine festival at the Balboa Bay Club. We encountered heavy rain and some snow on the Grapevine. Strange weather but it cleared the skies and the air was sweet and fresh.

The food and wine festival was an elegant affair. Lots of great wines, gourmet food and a jazz band. We had the opportunity to make many new acquaintances and see lots of old friends.

Tiburon Wine Fest was Fantastic!




This Saturday was spent at the Tiburon Wine Festival where we enjoyed fine wine, weather, and food. The event was sold out and several hundred people had the opportunity to try our wines. The chilled chardonnay was a big hit!

Chardonnay on sale!!

We just put our 2004 Russian River Valley Chardonnay on sale!! A great wine for the warm weather. We love it well chilled with an artisan cheese, like a Robiola or Humboldt Fog Chevre, complete the meal with some fresh baked bread and a salad of mixed baby greens with a drizzling of maple sherry vinaigrette. We only have about 80 cases left.
