Roar Wines
We are a family winery specializing in small lots of Santa Lucia Highland's Pinot Noir, Syrah and beginning in the summer of 2009, Chardonnay. Our roots in the Santa Lucia Highlands are quite deep. Both Gary and Rosella grew up in California's agricultural heartland where Gary’s family has farmed for over 100 years. After graduating from Cal Poly with a degree in agribusiness, Gary took over the running of the family farm business, which owned and managed over 200 acres of row crops in the Salinas Valley. Recognizing the region's potential for premium wine grapes, we planted Rosella's Vineyard in 1996. We also co-own and manage the Garys' Vineyard with Gary Pisoni of Pisoni Vineyard.
– Description from
Kursulla
Gorgeous fruit driven nose with sweet graham cracker accents to a core of black raspberry fruit. This is a little sweet in the mouth but it's got a cool, compact feel to it with nice tension on the midpalate though it does turn a bit jammy and alcoholi...

Here's the funny thing: For just a minute, Napa Ridge Cab was made from grapes from Napa Valley. So that added to the confusion. Franzia sometimes bought up labels that had some history or a reputation. (His company is called Bronco, because the Franzia name was bought by Coca Cola and sold to The Wine Group. So there's lots of history and ... Read More

Secret Santa 2015 was a success! We eventually figured out who the senders and recipients were based on past drinking habits and assorted sleuthing. Some bottles were consumed quickly but others are in storage awaiting the right moment to enjoy them. Thanks to everyone for participating. Final pairings are listed below:JONDERRY - received bo...

Okay, getting back to the topic at hand, in effect the Santa Lucia Highlands AVA is the other side of those mountains. Arroyo Seco is basically due east of Big Sur. And there's San Antonio Valley a little further south. (Pierce Family, whom I have touted on the "Completely Different" thread, are down there.) Here's a nice map: http://wine.ap... Read More

I once, a few years back, almost pulled the trigger on a real estate purchase in the hills back behind the Big Sur coastline. Was reminiscing on that today, and wondered why I never hear about wine from that area. Is it because I'm so far away and out of touch and there actually are barrels and barrels of wine being made there, or because the cu... Read More

Depending on traffic, shipping grapes from up near Calistoga to Yountville could take 1/2 an hour or more. Lots of grapes have to get trucked an hour or so, although it's far from the best thing. Some winemakers will contract with someone closer or use a custom crush facility nearer the source--Bell does this with wines they make from Oregon g... Read More

Made a trip to Pahrump Nevada today to play a round of golf with my friends at Mountain Falls GC. Amazing course! Rated #1 in Nevada and the #7 public course in America. Who would have thought a course that nice could be located smack dab in the middle of basically no-mans land.Because the trip is 45 minutes from Vegas, I decided to visit the wi... Read More

After much agony and discernment, I have chosen the official wine for my Super Bowl party this year. Over the 9 years I've hosted this event, it is probably the least exotic selection, not to mention least expensive. Given the fact chili is the main dish (oh please, don't turn your nose. After all, we're American pigskin fans, not Bolsheviks), ... Read More

Dom Peri doesn't really do it for me, either. Nothing made by Moet et Chandon has really wowed me, in France or here. For less money, I'll take a P-J Belle Epoque. Or Taittinger, or Billecart-Salmon, or a bunch of things. For way less, Pierre Paillard (grower stuff) wowed me recently. Speaking of underwhelming wines, I had two bottles of Roa... Read More

Pisoni is barely Pinot. It's really ripe, but Bob Parker calls it Cali's "grand cru" of Pinot vineyards. His pinot taste has always been suspect. They aren't sold out at all. There's a backlash or defection from their product now. Cab lovers went back to cab and pinot lovers are tired of the sweet Santa Lucia Highlands wines. I know I am--I... Read More
