FREE TASTING
Saturday November 16th, 2013
2pm-until the wine runs out!
Featuring:
2008 Silver Oak Alexander Valley Cabernet
2010 Meyer Family Fluffy Billows Cabernet
The eponymous Meyer family of Meyer Family Cellars includes Bonny Meyer, for whom the legendary Bonny's Vineyard is named. Bonny's
Vineyard was, as you probably know, the most sought-after wine in the
Silver Oak stable. Bonny's late husband Justin Meyer had named the
vineyard for her, and it was the jewel in the crown
that Justin Meyer crafted at Silver Oak. In 1991, he stopped making a
single vineyard wine, insisting that Silver Oak's worldwide popularity
made it too troublesome to continue to make a 400 case production wine,
with every customer assuming that they could buy access to that limited
production wine.
Justin's son Matt, finally talked the
family into returning to a Bonny's Vineyard Cabernet in 2001; Justin
Meyer passed away suddenly in 2003 and never saw the release of the
wine. The 2003 was the inaugural release of that wine, and they have
expanded their portfolio to include Spitfire Cabernet, Fluffy Billows
Cabernet, Highground Syrah, Syrah, Rose and Port. This Saturday we are
putting one of their entry level Cabs (Fluffy Billows) up against the
entry level Silver Oak (Alexander Valley) in a FREE side by side taste
off.It should be pretty awesome. At the very least, we'll all get to drink some pretty awesome Cabernet!
We hope to see you Saturday and as always, THANK YOU for your business.
