SUMMARY:Cheese and Wine at the Cheese Parlor
DESCRIPTION:At first\, we were sceptical that we could find a world class cheese store in Livermore. But Brandon Wood and his Cheese Parlor proved us wrong. The Cheese Parlor is the real deal! That is why we are so excited to partner with him for a cheese and wine event on October 6th. We have challenged Brandon to match cheeses to four of our wines – Dos Mesas\, Telos\, Angelica\, and our Sweet Vermouth. Not only was he proved up to this task\, but he even added additional cheeses to help us explore the culinary science behind wine and cheese pairing! \nThe event will be held at the Cheese Parlor\, 158 Maple St.\, Livermore. The winery owner will be on hand to discuss the wines and Brandon will be on hand to educate us on the cheeses. This should be a fun and educational evening. Tickets are $50. Follow the link to the Cheese Parlors website to purchase yours today. Seating is limited. \n  \nGET TICKETS >

SUMMARY:Pinot Noir - After Hours
DESCRIPTION:California’s Pinot Noir finds its most legendary expressions in the Russian River Valley\, Los Carneros\, Santa Lucia Highlands\, and Sta. Rita Hills regions. Each of these locations possesses a unique terroir that imparts distinct characteristics to the grape\, resulting in wines of exceptional quality and finesse. Together\, these regions have established themselves as iconic destinations for Pinot Noir enthusiasts seeking the epitome of California winemaking excellence. \nOn Friday evening\, August 18th\, we invite you to an intimate tasting event in celebration of Pinot Noir Day. We will be tasting Pinot Noirs that we have crafted from two of California’s most iconic appellations – Russian River Valley and Los Carneros (Sonoma Coast). \nIn the Russian River Valley\, the cool coastal fog and maritime influence create a long growing season\, allowing the grapes to develop complex flavors and elegant acidity. Representing this region\, we will taste a barrel sample of our 2022 Lineage Estate Pinot Noir. \nLos Carneros\, located at the southern tip of Napa and Sonoma\, also benefits from a cool climate\, producing Pinot Noir with bright red fruit flavors and a delicate structure. Representing this region\, we will taste our not-yet-released 2021 Wildcat Mountain Vineyard Pinot Noir. \nA Note About the Vineyards \nLineage Estate\nThis 10-acre vineyard lies in the middle of some of the most beautiful and scenic areas of the Russian River Valley. With an east facing hillside and rich Goldridge soil\, the property is perfect for Pinot Noir. \nWildcat Mountain Vineyard\nWildcat Mountain Vineyard is an outlier in the Los Carneros appellation. The highest vineyard in the appellation\, it sits on well-drained soils of volcanic origin\, exposed to the full brunt of fog and cold airflow that streams off the upper reaches of San Pablo Bay. Wildcat Mountain Vineyard was established by Nancy and Tony Lilly with their partner Steve MacRostie in 1998. \nTHIS EVENT IS COMPLIMENTARY \nSOLD OUT
