                    Arissa Jane Sonoma Coast                        Pinot    Many of you may have read                      about the illusive Adrian Fog Pinot                          Noirs, which Robert Parker gave a 5                        star rating, (out of 5 stars). Much                             less known is a smaller project made by Adrian Fog called Arissa Jane.  There are less than 300 cases made.....

            Walker Station- Russian River                  Pinot & Chardonnay

                You may be familiar with the                     Walker Station Chardonnay                       from Paul Hobbs, a wine that                     typically scores very well with                    wine critics.  Unfortunately                        Paul only makes about 150                       cases of this Chardonnay,                         and it is virtually impossible to                   get anymore.  Paul gets the grapes from grower Harry Walker.  In 2000 Harry asked Paul to help him launch the Walker Station Vineyards label.  Paul agreed.  They share the fruit equally, half goes to Harry and half goes to Paul...

                            Walter Hansel Winery
                       Premium Russian River                                   Pinot Noir & Chardonnay                
                          Walter Hansel Winery is                                known by many as one of                                 the top producers in the                                     Russian River Valley.                                     Stephen Hansel has been                               called, "One of Northern                                   California's good guys",                                     by Robert Parker. 
                              In my opinion Walter                                      Hansel winery is well on                                  it's way to becoming one                                  of the top powerhouse                                     producers of premium                                     Pinot Noir and                                                Chardonnay.
  Ketcham Estate Winery
             Russian River Valley

                                 
                                 The 2007 Ketcham
                                  Russian River
                                  Pinot Noir is one                                      of the top RRV                                         Pinots on the
                                  market.
                                  Winemaker                                              Michael Browne
                                  of Kosta Browne
                                  fame, made this
                                  incredible Pinot     Noir.  This Pinot is sourced from top vineyards located in the heart of the Russian River Valley.  This is a world class Pinot at an
everyday price.
                   Dark Horse

                     The Dark Horse wines have                         been a HUGE HIT with my                              clients over the years.                                    Winemaker Mike Loykasek was                     named winemaker of the year in                      2007 at the Sonoma County                           Harvest Fair.
                 Mike has made wine for over 20                      years; including stints at Meeker,                   De La Montanya, and Armida (he                     invented the popular "Poizin"                        label while he made the wine for                        Armida).


                    VENGE

                    One of my favorite blends                          out of Napa Valley has to                          be the new Scouts Honor                          from Venge Vineyards.                             This exciting blend is made                       by Kirk Venge who at a young age has become one of the most in demand consulting winemakers in California.  Kirk has made wines at some of Napa Valley's top wineries including Bacio Divino, Frantesca, Macauley, and several others. This wine has received rave reviews from critics.



Vogelzang

  The new Vogelzang Estate Sauvignon Blanc is one of the most captivating white wines that I have ever tasted.  This magnificent wine is made by one of the top winemakers in California, Robbie Meyer.   Meyer has also made the wines for Lewis, Peter Michael, and Jericho Canyon. 

  The vineyard is located in prime area of the Santa Ynez Valley.  The soils there are very rocky which adds a distinct mineral character to this delicious Sauvignon Blanc.
