The Powerlifter

Betsy's on her way home from Las Vegas right now. Guess what she just did.....Betsy won a Gold Medal and set two new World Records in her age and weight class at the World Powerlifting Championships in Las Vegas on Friday with a 249 pound squat and a 299 pound dead lift.
To celebrate this we will be releasing our newest wine called The Powerlifter at our tasting room on Saturday Nov. 17th from noon to 5pm.  This is our most powerful wine, a blend of Petite Sirah,  Mourvèdre, and Grenache. We'd love to see all of you down at the tasting room next weekend to help us celebrate!

Sonoma Voted #1 Wine Destination in The U.S!

            

   In a recent poll done by TripAdvisor, Sonoma County was ranked the top wine tasting destination in the U.S. and #2 wine tasting destination in the world, trailing only behind Tuscany. It looks like the little secret of the North Bay isn't so much of a secret anymore. While Napa is a great area that has many fantastic wines, beautiful scenery, and delectable food, we've always been under the impression that Sonoma offers all of these things as well a few more smiles and a more laid back way of life.

   From the rolling hills of the Sonoma Valley to the cool climate, gorgeous redwoods, and streams of Russian River Valley and up to world of Zinfandel found in Dry Creek, Sonoma just has so much to do and see that you either have to move here or cash out your frequent flyer miles on a yearly basis to see it all. Sure our roads are curvy and have potholes and you have to be pretty hard pressed to spend a thousand dollars on a dinner for two, but that's just how we like it.
