This last Saturday I had the pleasure of attending a great event in Sonoita at Dos Cabezas WineWorks. Kelly and Todd Bostock sure know how to show everyone a great time. They were debuting their new wine building - hence the name "WareHouse Warming!" From 11 to 3PM we enjoyed wine, food and great company! As wine club members we were able to enjoy a great library tasting of many wines which aren't yet released. Many attendees also had the chance to participate in bottling of their Graciano blend which will be coming out later this year. They only made two barrels of this wine and I have to tell you that I think it's amazing. I can't wait until it's available for sale!
I also had a chance to try some of Dick Erath's venture - Cimarron Vineyard in Willcox - a white "Meskeoli" blend that will be sold under the Dos Cabezas label and also a red wine that will be distributed through a local Phoenix restaurant concept - I'll update you when the deal is finalized! Todd made both wines and he did a great job!
I think one of my favorite wines at the event was their new "El Campo". Now this is a fun wine . . . called El Campo because that's the Spanish translation for "field" and this is a field blend if I ever saw one (many different varieties of grape from Todd's Pronghorn Vineyard in Sonoita)! It is fantastic! It is currently only available to wine club members, but will be open to the public starting April 1st. There is only 23 cases so you'll want to reserve yours before it's all gone!
It's always fun to meet with new Arizona wine lovers and talk to the winemaker and his family. If you haven't visited Sonoita's wine country, this spring is a great time to go! Check out Arizona Vines and Wines events for many fun events happening over the next few months!
Ciao!
