Fog-omenal! Is a descriptor I love...especially when it means perfectly cool, chilling fog after too-hot days anywhere else, or the effect that produces such yummy cool climate Pinots in the Russian River Valley. But a lot of other factors contribute to the deliciousness. Geology, viticulture and the art of winemaking. I am thrilled to be able to get a glimpse into a "Day in the Life" of wine grape grower, Nick Leras. We always hear that great wine is "made in the vineyard", so getting to see the art of grape growing from his perspective will be educational. I plan on getting in touch with my pioneer ancestors during the covered wagon portion of the tour as well as working up an appetite for delish BBQ. A better knowledge of how great wine gets made this weekend can be yours too. Wines and Wagons .
In addition to Leras, folks from Ancient Oak Cellars and Sandole Wines will be on hand to share their stories and their wine. Ancient Oak is meant to have a wonderfully fogomenal Pinot Noir, which I am looking forward to try as well as the Sandole wines. Sandole offers a Zinfandel too! If you have the time, make plans to join in as tickets are still available Click here...
Later in the day, a preharvest barbecue will bring more opportunities to meet all the talented, dedicated folks who bring wonderful wines to market.
