On Sunday, May 27th a great
day was had by all. While a 3 day weekend is typically grounds alone for a
celebration, our wine club members had a little something else to celebrate. We
hosted a 5 course meal with accompanying wine pairings to all of our wine club
members who could make it up the mountain as a special sign of our appreciation
for their friendship and continued support.
At Spann Vineyards, we've
always believed in a simple recipe for fun. Get together some great people, toss
in some delectable food, and top it off with some delicious wines. It works
every time!
The theme for the wines we were pouring was "Spann Vineyards' past, present, and future." We poured some of our 2001 Mayacamas Range Cabernet Sauvignon, which was the first Cabernet Sauvignon we ever made, to show our roots. We poured our current vintages of Chardonnay-Viognier 2010 and Mo-Zin 2009 to show our present selection. To give people a glimpse into our future, we poured our 2010 Malbec, 2009 Top of the World Cabernet Sauvignon, and our 2009 OMG (Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot blend). For some bizarre reason, enological time travel inspires smiles in all who take part.
