The Wines:
Failla Chardonnay Sonoma Coast '14 (poured from magnum)
Lioco Chardonnay Hanzell Vineyard, Sonoma Valley '14
Lioco "Laguna" Pinot Noir Russian River Valley, Sonoma '13
Failla Pinot Noir Hirsch Vineyard, Sonoma Coast '13
Both wineries are making exciting wines from some of northern California's top vineyard sites, with special emphasis on the Burgundy varieties - Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Lioco was formed in 2005 by two friends looking to create a small scale, quality driven, California "negociant" winery. Today, they make super precise and expressive wines in three counties. Failla was founded by winemaker Ehren Jordan and his wife Anne-Marie Failla in 1998, after Ehren left his high profile position as winemaker at Turley. The couple have amassed an envious roster of vineyard sources (Ehren has made the legendary Hirsch vineyard Pinot longer than anyone else and will be one of a very few still getting fruit in the next few years). Like, Lioco, their wines have a finesse and elegance while also having unique and strong expressiveness. We hope that you can join us to meet these folks from the wineries and enjoy the wines with great food!
