So many great winetasting options! So many regions, so little time!
Hawkes
"We first planted Cabernet Sauvignon in Sonoma County in 1972, 12 years before Alexander Valley became an appellation. Back then, there weren’t very many vineyards here, much less opportunities to taste the wine from them. Alexander Valley was planted to prunes and apples and hops, mixed field blends for jug wine; Healdsburg was the Buckle of the Prune Belt; my dad was dreaming big and making wine in the basement. 30 years later, we made the first vintage of wine under our own name – Hawkes – 100% estate Cabernet Sauvignon from Alexander Valley, grown and crushed and barreled and bottled by our family."
Abbelone Winery
A small, family-owned vineyard, Abbelone is nestled among old growth pines on a Southeast facing slope in the Southern Willamette Valley. Dedicated to the production of small lots of distinctive, hand crafted wine, we crop to less than 1.5 tons per acre in the vineyard, and employ traditional Burgundian methods in the winery that delivers the intense yet delicate fruit and mineral flavors of the Pinot Noir. We hope you enjoy it.
Twisted Barrel
"Great wine starts in the vineyard. Crushed, pressed and stored in the finest French, American and Hungarian oak barrels. These barrels shape, smooth and accentuate the best qualities of each varietal, blending or “twisting” the best characteristics that each barrel has to offer, ending up with exquisite wine. We hope you enjoy our wine as much as we enjoy making it."
Nysa
"Nysa Vineyard is a family-owned operation founded in 1990. Owner and winemaker, Michael Mega purchased a parcel of orchards high in the Dundee Hills of Oregon in anticipation of growing world-class pinot. It was with passion, hard work and patience that Nysa Vineyard has become one of the most prestigious in the hills, providing Pinot noir to acclaimed producers throughout the Willamette Valley."
Todd Taylor
"Todd Taylor wines are single vineyard designated wines. Grapes are selected from vineyards that produce premium fruit for their specific varietal. Wines are handmade using traditional methods and aged to perfection in oak cooperage that highlights the flavors of the specific grapes."
Char Vale
"Char Vale Vineyards is a family-owned vineyard and boutique winery in the heart of the Green Valley of the Russian River Valley wine growing region. The estate property has deep roots in Sonoma County."
