FYI- I'm actually doing a couple golf lessons in my San Francisco indoor studio on 456 Montgomery St. today. At about four I'm welcoming you to come in and check out my wine and enjoy a couple cheeses. Call if you're coming, 707-529-6458.
Next week- I'm putting into bottle a couple barrels of my 2007 Dry Creek Valley Merlot next week. It's really pretty cool how wines can be so different from barrel to barrel. It just so happened that these two barrels stood out from the rest. It's a big Merlot ready for the bottle and to be enjoyed.
We're making the 19th Hole wines up in Sebastopol, California (Russian River AVA) about a half mile from Merry Edwards and a mile from Iron Horse. It's a low key winery that has a good feel to it. Here's the location. Give me a call sometime and I can meet you up there and you taste some of my wines.
This next week we're going to press down some Cabernet Sauvignon I picked in Knight's Valley (just north of renowned Chateau Montelena in Calistoga), and if grapes make better wine from being grown in beautiful places, this wine will be a 100.
This will be our first year with this fruit and I'm going to try this fruit for a few years to learn how to produce it. So this year we will experiment by doing various different things with it to see how it develops (ie new oak vs. partial oak).
