One summer he studied Art History in Florence, Italy, and upon returning inspired, Scott decided to start making wine. His first vintage was tasty and he and Erica drank most of their creation! The holiday came around and as college students, the couple decided to give away some of their prized wine to friends and family. Erica gave Scott a gold ink pen to sign some bottles. It malfunctioned and spewed gold ink onto a bottle. Scott used his thumb to wipe up the dripping gold ink and inadvertently placed it on one of the other bottles. Soon, they were all adorned with one of Scott’s gold thumbprints. A passion and new wine brand were born. What is your favorite undiscovered grape? Only one? Hmm, then old vine Carignane (karen yawn). Carignane was the first wine grape I picked and made wine from. Over...

The estate is built around Petite Sirah and Zinfandel, led by La Salette, a Petite Sirah named for his mother. Guests taste small-lot, handcrafted wines at three properties: Mankas Gardens, the historic Blue Victorian, and the Estate Ranch. What is your favorite undiscovered grape? Charbono, it is the one almost nobody orders by name. California has only about 80 acres left, a holdover from old Napa plantings that never caught on, and it still shows up in small Suisun Valley lots, including ours at the Blue Victorian. It gives you deep color and a plummy, minty red that stays lighter and fresher than Petite Sirah, which is exactly why it stays under the radar. What was your first experience with an undiscovered grape? The first time I...

Davis Winemakers: Boyd Shermis About: Our goal each year is to make the finest wines possible from the best vineyards on the Central Coast of California. We practice post-modern wine-making techniques to bring old world-style wines into the new world. We do work with some the more popular grapes, but even with these we try to bring someting unique to each small lot we make. We also work with some of the more -off-the-beaten-path grape varietals, including Albariño, Picpoul Blanc, Viognier, Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, Marsanne, Tempranillo, Grenache, Mencía, Tannat, Barbera & Sangiovese. What is your favorite undiscovered grape? Don't have a particular favorite. I like doing different, interesting and challenging things. I like to bring new experiences to people. What was your first experience with an undiscovered grape? Can't remember the first time, but I've been tasting European wines for decades now and wines such as Spanish Albariños & Tempranillos, Italian Barolos and Veneto wines, Austrian Grüner Veltliner, French Tannat & Rosés of Grenache have always...

The estate vineyard has a storied history. Originally planted in the 1890’s, then to pears and walnuts during prohibition, then again to grapes in 1972, wine was produced for Frog’s Leap beginning in 1987 and then for Tres Sabores from 1999 through today. The adventure into truly “uncharted” territory began in 2014 when, almost (not quite, but almost) on a whim, Jon sourced over half of California’s St Laurent production from Dale Ricci’s vineyards in the Carneros and the magic began. Soon, the serendipity factor really kicked in! A chance meeting with Beckham Vineyards owner and ceramic artist, Andrew Beckham, led to the purchase of...

What is your favorite undiscovered grape? At the moment, Petit Verdot, a Bordelaise grape often referred to a “blender”. However a single varietal offering changed such a notion as the variety offers great color, medium-weight, and overall complexity. Grown in California, this variety ripens towards the end of the season yet even still has great freshness and is jam-packed with broad layers of fruit tones. The variety produces a very food-friendly and engaging style of red wine with enough uniqueness that it sets itself apart from more homogenized, market-popular varieties.
