To explore and chronicle the grape, it's many stories and it's journey from dirt to glass.

Instagram post 2191830426712871520_1200071039 It's that time of year!  We will be doing our #12daysofwine this holiday season starting on December 13th.  Loki is nosy, he wants to see what's inside Day 1!  Well, he might get a peek, but you will have to wait.  Joins us as we taste through 12 wonderful wines this holiday!

Instagram post 2186693087942594870_1200071039 I'm not sure why, but a cloudy afternoon and some Harry Potter, pair beautifully with a little @bonnydoonvineyard Grenache and lunch.

Instagram post 2182398797758247755_1200071039 Happy Beaujolais Nouveau Day everyone!  Is anyone else sipping Beaujolais today? #beaujolais #beaujolaisnouveau #beaujolaisnouveau2019 #firstwineoftheharvest #youcansipwithus  #wine #carbonicmaceration
Instagram post 2181767868035373593_1200071039 It's still #nationalzinfandelday and we are still celebrating!  We found this beauty is the cellar.  A gift to be sure (I should get out there to visit!). Janell is 4th generation Paso Roblan who grew up on the Dusi vineyard where prized Zin grapes hail from. 
It hits duller on the palate on the first sip. I think perhaps it's hitting a closed phase. But quite honestly I need to give this a minute to open up. This dips a little into the purples color wise, but only a bit, holding on to deep reds. There is a bit of a rim. Tidy tannins stroll along your mouth sweeping up after themselves. The next swish is a bit livelier, but still mellow. Pronounced in a polite way. This is not the wine that Tobin James would make with these grapes.
As it opens there is more of those notes of raisins, stewed fruits.  #youcansipwithus #pasorobleswinecountry #zinfandel @jdusiwines
