St. Supery 2017 Dollarhide Estate Chardonnay: Rich tropical aromas combine with apricot, cantaloupe and ripe pear with a touch of floral orange blossom. Cantaloupe and apricot continue through the palate with ripe nectarine and fruit cup flavors that are highlighted by lemon zest on the finish, creating a bright, fresh and refreshing Chardonnay.

Farmstrong 2017 Field Rosé, Redwood Valley (Carignane, Zinfandel): Loaded with vibrant lively fruits, it is summer in a glass: ripe strawberries, honey tangerine, camellia blossom. This wine is inviting, happy, easy going and relaxing…like a walk in the park on a sunny day. I couldn’t be more thrilled with the purity and focus of the wine, she is pretty in pink…but not afraid to show her serious side.

Pope Valley 2016 Merlot: Camphor, dried tobacco, and basil abound! Integrated acid and soft tannins give this wine its characteristic plush, round mouthfeel. A fine palate of English plums, raspberry gratin, and dried thyme makes the Merlot versatile enough for any meal.

Maroon 2013 Malbec: Our 2013 Malbec comes from 11 year old vines which are carefully farmed on the North East slope of Howell Mountain. The wine is big, dark and inky with aromas of plums and dark ripe berries. This is a rustic wine with powerful fruit. On the palate the wine is rich and round, with a long wonderful finish.

Farmstrong: Farmstrong Wines are dynamic blends that tilt their hat to California’s diversity and history. They are expressions the vineyard sites are very special to me. I am a true believer in personal connection and there is a story behind each vineyard site and how it came to be part of my portfolio. In these stories you will learn more about the people behind these vineyards. I liken my connection to these vineyards to that of one’s favorite shirt or coffee mug or chair. Like a well worn fabric or a slightly chipped mug that may have initially caught my eye for its beauty, but over the years it has won my heart because it just feels right. When it comes to vineyards this happens too, and it is a combination of my connection with the vines themselves and my connection with those that tend them. For me the growers hands are most definitely part of the terroir. Farmstrong Wines

Pope Valley Winery: The Pope Valley Winery was founded in 1897 by Ed Haus as Burgundy Winery & Olive Oil Factory. A century later in 1997, the Eakle family purchased the historic winery and gave it a new life as Pope Valley Winery. In 2009 the next generation of Eakles stepped in to continue building and furthering the family's vision for Pope Valley Winery as a fine winemaking establishment. Currently siblings David Eakle, winemaker, and Diana Eakle Hawkins, general manager, are making great strides in bringing Pope Valley Winery to the next level. www.popevalleywinery.com

Maroon Wines: Maroon hand crafts a number of very small production wines from vineyard sources that may change from year to year. While the vineyard sources may change, their wine making philosophy does not – focusing on creating 100% varietal wines (no blending). These wines are often only made available to their wine club. www.maroonwines.com
