Evening Barrel Tasting 6:00pm to 8:30pm - doors open at 5:30pm A rare one on one experience tasting wine from barrels with our winemaker. This year's annual barrel tasting theme will be "young" and "seasoned." We use the word seasoned rather than old because, at 60, our winemaker doesn't agree with the connotations that go with that word. The contrasting barrels being tasted this year will be a 2023 Petit Verdot blend, and a 2018 Cab Franc - Merlot blend. Tickets are available by clicking HERE.
Barrel head pictured above: A new, 2024 barrel branded with our Heritage Series label. The Coat of Arms of the winemaker's mother's family - Lattavo, combined with the Coat of Arms of the winemaker's wife's (Gina's) family - Melchior. The combination is the Maragas family Coat of Arms. Note that the new oak wood in this barrel, although coopered overseas, was sourced in the great state of Ohio. That's excellent tighter grained American oak. Comments are closed.
