Silver Oak
"Silver Oak began over a handshake between two friends with a bold vision: focus on one varietal, Cabernet Sauvignon, aged exclusively in American oak and worthy of cellaring for decades to come."

2022 Jolie Laide “Rancho Coda” Gamay Noir
Jolie Laide • Sonoma, CA
“Jolie Laide” in French mean “pretty ugly” however that literal translation ignores context and nuance. The term Jolie Laide describe something that is unconventionally beautiful and used as a term of endearment.I can assure you, there is nothing ugly about the wines that Scott & Jenny Schultz (owners/winemakers) produce. They are phenomenal.
Gamay is one of the least represented varietals in the US. Somewhere north of 2M cases hit the shelves of those cute 🇫🇷 markets each year compared with the US that has so little it’s hard to actually measure the actual acreage. When you find domestic Gamay, you’ve got to give it a whirl. 😍
This sexy bottle was full of fruit… I’m talking a jumble. It wasn’t so candied because it was only partially “carb’d.” After the fruit, a hint of floral and some pepper. The smallest hint of sea shell & salinity made it the perfect pairing for bulgogi tacos & cabbage served on the lanai at sunset. You salivating yet? I was. 😊
No bad days! Enjoy the view and get sandy. 😎
Aloha! 🌈
