Friendship is the Wine of Life!

Friendship is the Wine of Life!
Edward Young

Share a bottle of our yummy Homage 2012 California Merlot with a friend! Our Winery in Napa pays Homage to the early Father's of California grape growing. In this bottle you will find some of California's finest Merlot to share. The grapes are from the trusted Lodi appellation and our winemaker used  three special vineyard blocks to create this modern handcrafted artisan wine.
Our Merlot has a rich and dark purple robe with a very complex nose. In the initial attack you will experience a lot of red cherry aromas then oaky flavors take over like coffee, light chocolate and caramel. The mouth will display more red fruits with cooked and jammy notes. The wine is very smooth with a good tannic structure, vanilla, toasty and smokey. There is a lot of power in this young Merlot which has a creamy silky finish. This one is Truly, a Diamond in the Rough! It will be reaching its peak in 3 to 4 years with a potential for agreeing after that of over 6 to 8 years.
Pair this one with Mexican food, roasted pork, beef or bolder chicken recipes. The cheeses that best suit this beauty will be semi soft ones like Mozzarella, Monterey Jack and Swiss. Our featured recipe that comes with this bottle is our "Mushroom and  Swiss Stuffed Burgers." 
Don't wait to try this one, it won't last long on our Wine List!

How Much Is Too Much? Or, Is It Ever Enough!

Wine is a key component of any celebration. You can have sweet wines, sparkling wines, red wines for meals, and anything and everything in between!
The first question people tend to ask is, how much wine should I get! To begin, a serving of wine is 5 oz. Whether you're mixing up a sangria or buying bottles of wine, take the total volume of liquid on hand and divide out by 5oz. That gets you the number of servings you have available.
You figure a person can probably drink one of these servings every half hour, so to figure out what volume you need, multiply the number of people times the length of your party in half hours and you've got a rough idea.
I find it's good to assume you have 20% White Zinfandel drinkers, 30% white wine (Chardonnay), 30% red wine (Cabernet), and 20% of other things. How about a Champagne toast? Again, 5 oz is a pretty good toasting glass. So maybe 5-6 glasses per bottle of Champagne, and figure from there.

Try our fabulous Fleur Bleu 2012 California Zinfandel with a robe that's dark red in color and has openings of black cherry, wild strawberries and licorice! This wine has a light spicy, smokey flavor with a dry lush attack. You will get a creamy and jammy sensation at the beginning and the mid palate will be more berry flavored! Stems Up...

Wine Cubes!

Great Tip!
 

Freeze your leftover white wine in ice trays to quickly chill your white wines (frozen white grapes do a great job as well) or freeze any wine in zip lock bags to use in any recipe to really take your dishes to the next level. The alcohol cooks off so you can serve it to anyone, even the kids! Try our Halcyon 2011 Chardonnay. The Halcyon is a bird of classic legend. The bird had the ability to calm the sea after landing upon the waves. Thus, Halcyon is synonymous with peace and tranquility. Our Halcyon is crafted to soothe your spirit and allows your imagination to soar! AROMATICS are very diverse with rich citrus attack, white flowers, spices, unctuous oaky flavors and a light creamy finish... Easy to drink with its medium body and smoothness. Baked Fish, chicken dishes and milder cheeses pair beautifully with this amazing wine. When you purchase this wine we also include the recipe for our "Roasted Ginger Penne with Shrimp and Garlic."
