Pedroncelli is Bistro 1220 this year. Chef Brian Anderson, Bistro 29, will be creating Brittany-inspired fare to complement our wines. Bistro 29 hearkens to the Finistére, Department 29 in France, and is translated as Land’s End. Pedroncelli hails from the eastern-most area Department 1927 (our founding year). A perfect pairing. Featuring our favorite wines where you’ll enjoy a feast for all five senses!
Calling all Zin fanatics! This is your opportunity to taste rich elegantly styled zinfandels. You will experience single vineyard designate wines, grown and produced by owner/winemaker me… Michael Talty. My focus is to truly represent the characteristics of each vineyard, recognize their unique qualities and reap the benefits. As a small, family operation I have the freedom to craft wines I love to drink and feel you will too. Come for a taste, have a bite, listen to music and join me for a glass of Zinlicious Talty. See you there!
Welcome to Zichichi Family Vineyard! We are barrel tasting our luscious 2015 Zinfandels and Petite Sirah. These delicious wines are being paired with the incredible cuisine from Chef Dino Bugica of Diavola Pizzeria & Salumeria. Savor your experience while enjoying the beautiful views from our deck overlooking the valley. We are offering special savings exclusively for Passport attendees this weekend.
Flower Power! Chateau Diana is going back to the 60’s!
Dust off your bell bottoms, break out your Fringe, head bands and grab your love beads! Dancing, munchies, photo booth and rainbow wine slushies! We will be groovin’ with our exclusive 707 Estate Zinfandel, Estate Petite Sirah, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and don’t forget our sweet whites!
Celebrate Passport Weekend on the bank of Dry Creek with the friendliest hosts in the Valley. Enjoy the cool blues groove of Brother Cat. Savor the locally sourced, explosive flavors of the Spanish/Caribbean fusion food created by F.A. Ninos, the Godfather of Sauce. Our new wine releases are the best yet, barrels will be open for sampling the future and we will have some special case specials.
Visit Göpfrich Winery! This is one of the few times in the year that we are actually open to the public. We will be pouring our Dry Creek Valley Estate wines which are only available at the winery since there is no outside distribution of our wines. Enjoy the relaxing ambiance of a small family winery. Why not visit a little piece of Germany this weekend!
Nothing is better than an Italian experience! Your travel destination is Italy–welcome to “Under the Forchini Sun!” In our garden enjoy stunning views and Italian melodies while sipping Papa Nonno, our Tuscan Red. Chef Muir will serve Cannelloni stuffed with spinach and meat topped with two sauces. End your Tuscan visit munching glazed chocolate bites, delicious with our Zinfandel and Cabernet. Special Passport pricing. Benevenuti a Forchini!
Our family has enjoyed the beauty of Dry Creek Valley and growing grapes since the 1980’s; producing our first vintage in 2005. In 2007, we built our environmentally friendly underground winery. Our commitment to nature extends to our farming practices and we are CCOF certified. We produce 2000 cases from our Estate Vineyards; Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Rose, Zinfandel, Merlot, Petite Sirah and Cabernet Sauvignon. Besides excellent wines and EVOO, we promise you warm hospitality. Play a game of Bocce, or take a walk along beautiful Dry Creek; we look forward to meeting you.
Next post we reveal: A special theme from Peterson Winery, Amphora Winery, Collier Falls, Kokomo Winery, Papapietro Perry Winery, Kachina Vineyards, Rued Winery and Teldeschi Winery.
