Oak Farm Vineyards in Lodi has produced an excellent example that garnered 99 points, best of class, and double-gold at the 2020 Sunset Magazine International Wine Competition.
150 cases produced, Brian enjoyed the lovely perfumed nose and described it as "soft as rainwater in the mouth" and called it "a refined, superior wine."
This man exudes passion. He's "been around the world two or three times" first with the military and then on a culinary adventure. Military food was "horrendous", so he'd often go AWOL with his buddies for good food. He loved to cook pancakes and barbeque for the barracks.
Paso Robles has certainly made a name for itself with its Zinfandel, but there are few regions that can rival their Petite Sirah, either. Thanks to Clavo Cellar...
Brian loved the bouquet, found it dry and very pleasant and thought it was a great $20 wine. Jan said it was very complex for a rosé and liked it quite a bit. Jake enjoyed the rich flavors. It averaged nearly four out of five stars. Score? Texas 1, skeptics 0.
On a dreary, rainy morning, Bob, Maggie, Laura and I climbed into Bob's pickup and checked out the incredible views from the vineyards. These young vines are producing sensational fruit and Bob is making superior wines.
The Tesoro philosophy has built a strong social community in several short years. It started with the Old Town Tasting Room itself – in the heart of both day and night life, open late after most country wineries have closed, a warm and friendly stopping place and destination.
Denis' past career as a recording engineer is evident everywhere you look. There are Gold Records on the walls and a recording studio where he makes his CDs.
