Why our wines ARE really different from the rest

When guests come for a tasting at the winery, they are often pleasantly surprised at the flights of wine we offer for tasting. "Wow we get to try a 2004 Pinot Noir, that's great!. We've only been able to taste 2007 wines." I receive many questions from consumers, distributors and restaurants owners who taste our wines, and by far the most common question is: why are you just releasing 2005 wines? The answer to the question comes in a few parts. When John Bacigalupi and Tyler Heck first… Continue

Celebrate Christmas with Mulled Wine and White Wine?

The month is barely started and I am stuck on Christmas Dinner. Seriously the next 17 days can't come fast enough. I want to make a Beef Standing Rib Roast and add green apples to my mashed potatos and drink white wine.

Reisling is an endangered species around me. So is anything remotely nice bottle wine that was destined for the gift exchange is now being planned for a mulled wine experiment.

I also have my eyes set on Cider and Spice bottles and while I am probably lucky… Continue

A life worth living. Happy Birthday Charles Bacigalupi

Born on September 9th, 1924 my grandfather, Charles Bacigalupi grew up on a quiet street in the suburbs of Santa Rosa, California. His mother, Olive Gaddini (Olie) was a homemaker and artist.

As a child he attended the local schools all the way up to… Continue

South African Wine in China; what to learn from the experience of others?

Stumbled upon a great article this afternoon, "Promoting South African Wine in China." Originally sourced from allafrica.com, you can access the article via this link directly.

The article discusses the failure of official promotional strategies of Brand South Africa wines.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

No matter from which angle you look at it, however, SA wines are promoted too irregularly in China, if at all, and for the most part China's burgeoning middle class has… Continue

The hunt for the light brown apple moth

For those not familiar with the LBAM it is an exotic pest native to Australia. These moths pose a serious threat to our environments ecology, beauty and agricultural productivity- not just in California but nationwide. What makes… Continue

Ever wonder how a vineyard gets its start?

There are so many great things about spring time; sunny weather, Bbq’s, days at the beach and planting fresh vegetables to be enjoyed all summer long. With spring the opportunity also comes to plant a new vineyard. Starting a vineyard from scratch takes not only a lot of advanced planning but time, and of course a little financial investment. I went out in the vineyard with my dad and grandfather so he could… Continue

The great state of TEXAS

When you are in the wine industry every time of year is a busy time of year.

Mother Natures Sense of Humor

You know that saying, “April showers bring May flowers, May flowers bring June bugs.” Well I guess Mother Nature has a sense of humor these days and wanted to put her own twist on it. So now I guess it should be May showers bring June flowers… I’m so confused! Normally this time of year growers and vintners alike could slowly start breathing a sigh of relief that they have escaped the worst of the frost. We lucked out this year and have so far only… Continue
