2017 Pinot Grigio
Here we go, go, go… Last year, on September 8th, I wrote about our double-gold winning ’16 Pinot Grigio, and here I am, almost exactly one year later, writing about the release of the new 2017. Once again, Jason and Brian’s forecasting skills are uncanny. Anyway, the 2017 is a lovely, delicate wine. Before we take a more in-depth look, however, let’s review the history of this very old grape.
The Discovery of Wine
Jeff’s Corner 9-14-18 Buenas Nachos, Yesterday, in the tasting room before we got busy, Debbie and Eve asked me how wine was “discovered“ by civilization and how long it had been part of our history and culture.
Farewell, King of Zin
Jeff’s Corner 9-7-18 Kent Rosenblum died Wednesday (9-5-18), and with his passing we lost one of the great legends and icons of California winemakers. Kent, aptly nicknamed, “The King of Zin”, founded Rosenblum Cellars in 1978; and, along with Ridge Vineyards (1962) and Ravenswood Winery (1976), formed the Holy Trinity of “R’s” when it comes to the early renaissance of great California Zins.
