Fox, thaks for info!We visited Talty last time out and got to spend an hour or ... us.We haven't been to Bella, Preston or Yoakim Bridge but I see that they each have tasting rooms and Bella and Preston are open during the week so if we have an extra hour at the end of the day we'll see what we can squeeze in. Bella has been on my "to get to ... Read More

Okay, since you have been to Mauritson, I'm going to leave that off my list ... should visit the following:Bella--awesome cave cut into the side of the mountain, a new chef in the tasting room who has a Michelin star in his background, and really good Zins; at least one SVD will grab your attention.Preston--I went there when I didn't even want ...

We're heading back to (my favorite wine region) Russian River the first weekend in October and are looking for advice on what to do and what to expect. We've been to RRV several times but only during the off season. Is there anything special we should do at this time of year, and conversely, is there anything we should avoid? Read More

Two Hands Shiraz Barossa Valley Bella's Garden 2005
Snoothrank:
Inky, dark red-black. Clear and brilliant. Big, intense nose of dark fruits and berries. A bit of oak, vanilla and toasty spice. Sweet blueberries and a hint of anise. A very slight whiff of dill that blew off after a few minutes. Loads of dark fruit accompanied by some spice and cedar notes. Medium to medium long finish with black licorice on t... Read More

We had a plan, get in early, get out early. It seems like a lot of people ... What a joy to drink.Next was Bella where I tasted two wines but could not say which two they were. Was I getting tipsy? I remembered them being big brutes with big fruit, lots of spice but lots of fruit.We made a point of stopping at Mutt Lynch because they are dog l... Read More

Over 200 wineries pouring 700+ wines paired with food from over 60 chefs from the best restaurants in the County.Wine served under huge tents labeled by appellation, RRV,... Read More

Ruby Hill Bella Gemma 2010
Snoothrank:
This dark, sweet, fortified Port-like wine is a classic; rich, highly extracted and long finish. Very nice plum and spice. Heavy tannin but is balanced by the RS. Lots of sediment for such a young wine--odd. Not quite as nice as their 2009. A bit awkward. My rating -- 87. Read More

Well, I tried the one with the peas and morels in a cream sauce, substituted organic bella mushrooms since morels aren't in season right now, and it turned out very well, served it over some buccatini with a bottle of 2011 Erath Oregon Pinot Noir and it was a very pleasant meal! Read More

I got the e-mail today with the plethora of salmon recipes, and the one for poached salmon with peas and morels in heavy cream just sounded outstanding, so I think I'll try it tomorrow for a last hurrah of copper river season. Have any of you tried any of the recipes? Read More

OT has the serious local info--you'll probably pass him on the roads at ... about. Also Talty and Bella--Bella has the coolest caves. Ridge has a tasting room on Lytton Springs and, although I am allergic to paying to taste, it's a chance to have Montebello by the glass if it's otherwise outside of your price range. Have a great time--as if ... Read More
