It’s almost becoming old habit now! For the 6th year in a row, and 8 out of 13 competitions, our Dry Chenin Blanc has once again tickled the fancy of 37 oyster-loving food and wine writers, restaurateurs, oyster growers, and oyster lovers at large at the 2007 Pacific Coast Oyster and Wine Competition. And for the first time, our 2005 Fumé Blanc was also voted into the top 10 list.
 

2005 Fume Blanc & 2006 Chenin Blanc Oyster WINNERS!

2005 Fumé Blanc and 2006 Chenin Blanc

 

The process to find the right match is a rigorous one. First, 185 wines are tasted in a preliminary judging to narrow the contenders to 35 semifinalists and then 20 finalists. Panels of 12 to 13 judges in three cities – Seattle, San Francisco and Los Angeles, then taste the 20 finalists. Each wine is tasted blind with a Kumamoto oyster and judges are asked to rate the "bliss factor," the wine’s affinity for the oyster.

  
In the end, 10 equal winners are selected in the only wine competition to judge a wine by how it goes with food. To experience the bliss of our Fumé Blanc and/or Chenin Blanc paired with oysters, click here to Buy Online, or you can always call our tasting room at 800-864-9463.

With Mother’s Day over, we turn our attention to that special Dad in our lives. And what better way to show Dad you care than with a bottle of "manly" red wine? Our 2003 Meritage fits the bill perfectly.

This blend of all five Bordeaux varieties – Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Petit Verdot, is rich and concentrated with delicious dark fruit flavors. This is a wine that is polished enough to drink now, but can also cellar for 7 to 10 years.

Delight Dad with a real Father's Day feast, and serve him the 2003 Meritage with our Featured Recipe, Dry Creek Steak Meritage.

For Father's Day, we're offering 20% off purchases of 2003 Meritage. To receive your 20% savings, click on the COUPON link above, and use the "coupon code" when you call our tasting room (800-864-9463), or enter the code upon checkout when you Buy Online
