Earlier this month we hosted our first Winemakers Dinner for our Wine:30 Club. It was a bit crazy in the final prep minutes but turned out to be a great success!! I think that the day was one of the windiest we have had all year and while weather reports predicted winds to die down at 5pm it was still windy with gusts to 30 mph at 6:40 (20 minutes to showtime!) So…..in the last few minutes we moved 1/3 of the tables further tucked in on the patio. So we sat very “cozy” out on the patio!!! No one seemed to mind to much though…..might have had something to do with the 2006 Tempranillo library pouring along with the 2007 Tempranillo (just sold out) and the 2008 Tempranillo barrel tasting. All that tempranillo was topped off with 2009 Albarino, yummy paella with jumbo shrimp and Spanish guitarist Jessie Hendricks!! It was a fun evening to spend with some of our club members as well as Chad Joseph, our winemaker, who shared about the wines of the evening. We are looking forward to this new tradition of Winemakers Dinners and can’t wait to see how the next one will turn out!!
