Belloni, Barricia, Teldeschi - to the more economical wines that helped turn a couple of generations of people onto the joy and deliciousness of well-wrought wine.

I can probably count the number of winemakers that I have met on one hand. Invariably, though, I would describe them as approachable, open, and gracious people. They have consistently treated me with tremendous respect and actually listen to my questions or my opinions as if they have never heard them before. Their responses are always detail... Read More

But, things are getting off to an early start due to unusually warm Spring weather and a mild Winter where the Sierra snowpack is only 17% of norma... Read More

April 2013

I am a new wine lover. A year or two ago I was having troubles staying away from 'the sauce'. It wasn't alcoholism, per se, but it was getting to the point where I was spending much of my money and getting very little done. So, being that I am working in a fine dining restaurant, Carnevor Steakhouse in Milwaukee, WI, I decided to begin studying... Read More

Nice and snappy in the mouth with a lighter-styled mouthfeel showing decent acidity. This has lovely fruit, blue plum, wild cherry, and boysenberry that are fragrant in the mouth a... Read More
