Sforzando to pour at FrancFest 2011

We will be pouring our brand new 2009 Cabernet Franc at this year’s FrancFest hosted by Buttonwood Farm Winery on September 24th.  Tickets are only $35, and there should be about 20 different Franc-based wines to try.  There is also a seminar on Cabernet Franc hosted by Patrick Will prior to the Grand Tasting.  Visit the FrancFest website for more information, or click here to purchase tickets.  Should be a blast!

That’s right, it’s finally in bottle and available for purchase at The Oaks Gourmet and Bar Covell (both in Los Angeles) and Wandering Dog Wine Bar in Solvang.  Stop by one of those locations and ask for it!  Cheers!

Cabernet Franc coming soon!

We’re about to bottle our 2009 Cabernet Franc.  It’s made from organically grown grapes right here in the Santa Ynez Valley.  Stay tuned for information on this year’s FrancFest, which will be held at Buttonwood Farm Winery on September 17th.  We’re currently sold out of all of our red wine but we still have some 2009 Gewurztraminer.  Click here to see where you can buy some.  Cheers!

New releases!

Our 2010 Gewürztraminer from Alisos Vineyard has finished fermentation, is cold stable, and almost ready to bottle!  We’re going to filter it after the first of the year and plan to bottle it on January 17th or so.  This is our second vintage of this wine and we’re really excited about it.  Check our “Retail Locations” page to find out where you can purchase the 2009 vintage, or stop by the Gelinas Wine Group website.  Prost!

2010 harvest and new locations

We brought in 1.5 tons of Alisos Vineyard Gewurztraminer again this year, which was picked and pressed on September 15th.  It’s a really fun wine to make and we hope to have this bottled and released in January 2011.  We’re still hoping to bring in some Cab Franc this year as well.

Thanks to Shane Gelinas of Gelinas Wine Group, we’ve opened up quite a few new retail locations in the greater Los Angeles area!  We’re really exicted about all the new placements, which you can see here.

If you have any questions about our wines, send us an email!  Cheers and Happy Harvest,
