An Opportunity Too Good to Miss!

We are having a very special guest tonight, Friday January 13, at the shop! Head winemaker from Trinchero Napa Valley, Mario Monticelli, will be at our store tonight from 4-7pm. Monticelli will be pouring and discussing his impressive Napa Valley Wines. We carry a variety of his wines at the store-- one of them being the 2008 Trinchero "Haystack Vineyard" Cabernet Sauvignon from Atlas Peak in Napa Valley. Mario Monticelli discusses this wine: "Our Haystack Cabernet is true to its mountain origins, boasting great structure, intense purple color and violet aromatics. Firm tannins are gracefully balanced by luscious blackberry and blueberry flavors with nuances of coffee, baking spice and cocoa. This is a wine that I think has incredible ageability, but, like all my wines, should drink well upon release too." Haystack Vineyard is nestled way up in Atlas Peak, Napa Valley's highest appellation that sits 1,500 feet above sea level in the Vaca Mountains. This craggy, extremely rocky site stresses the vines, resulting in small, intensely concentrated berries. Cabernet Sauvignon is a great wine for winter dishes-- Filet Mignon anyone? COME BY THE STORE TONIGHT and get your new bottle of any of the Trinchero wines signed by Mario Monticelli himself. We are so excited such an impressive figure in the wine industry!
