There is a reason life is good in Sonoma County. It’s harvest time and the grape crush is in progress. Prime time to go wine tasting and get a feel how the expectations are for this year’s harvest. So far I only hear good things.
Last weekend we had some friends visiting from Cupertino, which was the perfect reason to go wine tasting. One of the wineries we visited was Kenwood vineyards in Kenwood, a great winery to visit with a perfect spot for a picnic lunch. We had made arrangements for a tour of the winery and were we lucky when saw a new truckload of grapes come in. We did learn a lot about grapes and the process of crushing the grapes. It’s hard work, but the result is what counts… The wines!
Personally I do like the Sonoma County label the best. It is different from the Yulupa label which you will find in restaurants. The Sonoma County Zinfandel of 2004 is our favorite besides the Vintage Red, a great affordable every day wine, this year totally different from last year, I did like last year a little better. 2005 promises to be an excellent year, I can hardly wait.
Kenwood is also a great place to live and currently there are some great properties for sale. One that caught my attention, it’s on Los Guilicos Ave, a great house in a remarkable peaceful setting. Should you be interested in a showing, please let me know.
It’s a good life,
Mirjam
