I poured tastes of my '06 Pinot and my '04 Syrah last night at Central Market Restaurant in Petaluma. Central Market carries my Pinot already, but I brought along an extra bottle of the Syrah for them to offer by the glass. The Syrah sold out before the Pinot! It was great to be able to connect with new people and to have them taste their "homegrown" wines. Sadly, most Petalumans have no idea that THIS IS wine country, where we are producing world-class wines!
On Friday, September 18th, we're going to have our first Winemaker Dinner, also at Central Market. Our first course will be a Slow Cooked Salmon, with butter beans and a Pinot Noir jus. That will be paired with both the '04 and the '06 Pinot. The second course will be Saba-glazed Roast Duck Breast with cioppolini onions, to be paired with the '04 and the '06 Syrah. After a third course of Local Greens, we'll finish off with an Apple-Walnut Cake paired with our not-yet-released Vin de Noix. We'll be pouring a previous vintage that will give our guests an idea of what's to come. We still need to bottle and age this year's Vin de Noix. More on that later...
