Check out the what's new page for Steven Tanzer's International Wine Cellar reviews of our 2006 vintage. We like the International Wine Cellar because

Does James Bond Drink Pinot Noir?
This is likely not the last winery generated newsletter that is going to reference James Bond while announcing their release of their 2007 (get it?) vintage wines.

The sale of 2007 Pinot Noir futures has begun!

Go to our store or call us to purchase while these wines are still available.
An introduction to the 2007 vintage

Basically there are two questions that every winery and grape grower needed to answer as October, 2007 marched on: Did we do the best possible job to take care of our vineyard(s) all season long so that the fruit can make it through the showers? And: Do we have the cahones to wait for our fruit to get ripe on the vine while weather conditions are...Read more
