Very exciting day! I just picked up a delivery of 6 bottles from Yoakim Bridge Winery out in Sonoma. This was one of my favorite vineyards on Dry Creek Road. These two wanted to start a small vineyard that produced great wine and they did it. For those of you not in the know, Dry Creek Road is one of the “wine roads” in Sonoma that leads from Healdsburg, CA to Lake Sonoma. If you want some fantastic Zinfandel, try it from Sonoma. My preference leans towards the stuff coming out of the Dry Creek Valley, but I may be biased since I haven’t been to the others yet.
Great quote from the winemaker after he took my info for their wine club: “OK, well I’m going to go back into the field now.” That’s how I like it!
2 bottles of Merlot
2 bottles of Cabernet Sauvignon
2 bottles of Zinfandel (of course!)
Beautiful labels too. Pairings will come in due time. May be a couple of years if I can wait that long for the Cabernet.
