🎉Happy Cinco de Mayo!🎉 We’re pairing our 2017 Cabernet Franc with some tasty bites of chile relleno & mole. 🍷🤩 “Mole sauce and cab franc are a marriage made in heaven. I dare you to smother some on a chile relleno and enjoy the thrill this will deliver.” -Scott Lindstrom-Dake It's difficult to describe a wine that is so complex. Upon tasting, one flavor will come to mind, another takes over and integrates with the first and third as the forth flavor demands attention THEN the textures join in and increase the intensity. Here's kind of what that looks like: cardamomnutmegblueberrysageredplumblueberrysativanutmegcocoaraspberrycaramel - I lost track, what were we saying? Try this before it's gone! We’ll be serving mole & chile relleno complimentary with your tasting experience today. Come by our tasting lounge or enjoy the outdoors with our 2017 Cabernet Franc. 🍷🤩 Cheers! . . . . . . #sonomacountywine #healdsburgca #wineweekend #winery #winelovers #winemakerlife #winetime #winecellars #weekendgetaway #weekendmood #alexandervalley #alexandervalleywine #alexandervalleywinery #winecountry #localwine #localwinery #localwines #sonomacountyvitners #sonomavalley #thumbprintcellars #winetasting #sonomacounty #sonomacountyvineyards #wine #californiawine #winery #cincodemayo #chilerelleno #molesauce (at Downtown Healdsburg, Healdsburg) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdMY6YTP4Ct/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

SOLD OUT! Saying goodbye to this gem for the season! 🍇 2016 PETITE SIRAH 🍇 Dry Creek Valley, Sonoma County Smith Ranch Stay tuned for exclusive releases by joining our mailing list. Click on “My Account” on our website and create and account to join in on the fun! 👍 There is generally nothing ‘petite’ about the grapes or the wine curiously called petite sirah. The clusters themselves can weigh up to five pounds. 👍 The wine produced is typically a giant mouthful of fruit and textures which lead to a big, dusty tannic finish. 🍷 Fresh roasted espresso, plump blueberry and chalkboard aromas then peak your interest. Dusty black currant, black cherry, gypsum and dark plum surround your palate with layers of bright acidity and firm fruit tannins. . . . . . #sonomacountywine #healdsburgca #wineweekend #winery #winelovers #winemakerlife #winetime #winecellars #weekendgetaway #weekendmood #alexandervalley #alexandervalleywine #alexandervalleywinery #winecountry #localwine #localwinery #localwines #sonomacountyvitners #sonomavalley #thumbprintcellars #winetasting #sonomacounty #sonomacountyvineyards #wine #californiawine #winery (at Downtown Healdsburg, Healdsburg) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbyFo85vNzW/?utm_medium=tumblr

🗞🍇We wanted to share the news with you about @vinebase_official Vinebase supports small wineries, just like us! Check out their page on instagram and website for more info on how they are supporting small wineries. “Dotted about the country, tucked away in remote corners, and often without a brick-and-mortar presence, boutique wineries struggle just to let customers know they exist. While production numbers can help us understand a winery's situation more, we think there's more nuance into what qualifies a winery as "small" - a sensibility, a connection between the people making the wine, the place it grows, and the finished product. Wine is an agricultural, artisan product. When we designate a product as artisan-made, or small production, we imply a thread of attention, care, intent, and vision that runs through the process and displays itself in the final product. You can literally taste the care and the attention to detail that goes into a bottle of small production wine. It's something that bulk wine simply can't do in its chemically-altered manufacturing process. It's so important, now more than ever, to shop directly from independent wineries and support small producers. Let's keep these businesses alive - and help them thrive. 🍷 What are your thoughts on what qualifies a winery as "small" production? Tell us what you look for in the wine you buy, then head to vb.wine/drinkbetter to learn more about the many challenges small wineries face.” #DrinkBetter #SupportOurWineries #smallwinery #wine101 #independentwinery #winebusiness #winemaking #wineexperience #winemaker #sonomacountywine #healdsburgca #winery #winemakerlife #winetime #winecellars #alexandervalley #alexandervalleywinery #winecountry #localwine #localwinery #sonomacountyvitners #sonomavalley #thumbprintcellars #winetasting #sonomacounty #sonomacountyvineyards #wine #californiawine (at Downtown Healdsburg, Healdsburg) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cbs9EedvZ9i/?utm_medium=tumblr
