The Story began forty years ago when PJ gave her boyfriend (now husband), Robert Rex, a winemaking kit as a thank you gift for keeping her Alfa Romeo Spider running like a top. She knew he was a good cook and a chemist and loved great wine so she figured he’d be a natural at making wine. He was. She’s still driving the same Alpha, Robert’s still keeping it purring and together they are making some great wine.
Robert and PJ built and operate the Deerfield Ranch Winery, in the heart of Sonoma Valley in Kenwood. Thirty years ago they got married at Deerfield, turned an old horse barn into their first winery, and have never looked back. Deerfield is now a 35,000 case winery on the Sonoma Highway in Kenwood, where they have a tasting room in the middle of a 23,000 square foot wine aging cave. Deerfield wines are renown for their brilliance, balance, complexity and cleanliness. The red blends, Robert’s specialty, are aged longer in the barrel than any other California wine.
@ Dinner, @ Home, @ Lunch with friends, these @Wines will pair with almost any food and will satisfy the most discerning palate.
Giol is the oldest documented winery in Italy, dating back to 1427. Their grapes are grown exclusively from their family's historic La Bicana, Il Bassonet and Spiridiona estates. Giol seeks to combine high quality winemaking with respect for the environment by farming their 25 hectares of vineyards with organic methods. They have been certified organic since 1987; two main reasons prompted them to switch to organic methods: concern for their consumer's health and out of respect for the environment. Please visit TheOrganicCellar.com for your own wine selection.
Bodega Antigal was established by the Peiro family inside the shell of a historic winery in Russell, Maipu whose origin dates back to 1897. Its current design harmonizes with the physiognomy of the era in which it was erected. Today Maipu is a department certiified as "the cradle of wine", and is cinsidered the most important area for Argentinean wines. To find more details visit BodegaAntigal.com
Hawk and Horse Vineyards was really the dream of owner, David Boies. His love of wine and of California’s North Coast wine growing region drove him to seek out a unique property that would support a vineyard of world class distinction. In 1982, after exhaustive searching he purchased what was then known as the historic El Roble Grande Ranch in Lower Lake, California. At that time, El Roble Grande was a rather run-down abandoned horse breeding facility situated on 900 acres of wilderness. Please visit HawkAndHorseVineyards.com

Discover Copa! Wine lovers can now enjoy delicious quality wine anywhere their hearts desire! A brilliantly simple idea of bottling premium wine directly into a glass. Drink Differently!
The company started with a vision: Founder and owner James Martin and his wife Molli, who own two other wineries, were traveling on the bullet train in France when they discovered wine bottled in a glass. They were both enamored with the concept: it created a simpler access to wine than what current wine bottles could provide. And it reduced the carbon waste created in the bottling of wine by offering a lower weight wine container.
Realizing that beer had enjoyed the luxury of a single-serving can or bottle for decades, James felt the same engineering applied to wine would be a huge success in stadiums and outdoor venues in the US. He thought of little else for more than a year before deciding to develop the technology.
However, he quickly learned that bottling wine in the glass was not as easy as it seemed. Eventually he turned to the inventor/bottler of the wine he had originally seen in France, Pascal Carvin. Rather than reinventing the wheel, the two formed a partnership – Pascal would provide the technology and James would provide the determination and drive to make the US launch a success.
Two years later, James and Pascal are proud to introduce Copa Di Vino. For more infomation please visit Copa Divino.
As a long time lover of food and wine (and life!), it just makes sense that I ended up in the wine business. It started with Mom and Dad and growing up Italian American. Nobody makes better meatballs than Mom, the bread is always important, we love a good bakery or Italian market, and finding the best pizza is a family pastime.
I've been a radio personality in the South Florida area for nearly 30 years (paulandyoungron.com) and over those years, I've befriended numerous chef's and restauranteurs. I've been a part of the South Florida Wine and Food Festival since its inception and food and wine has always been a part of my radio show and personality. We're all about entertaining, and great wine and food are always big part of that. In fact, that's how my journey to vineyard owner began, meeting Eros Spinozzi, now a dear friend and an Italian wine exporter, his introduction of my family to the Galasso family of the San Lorenzo winery, and bonding over wine and food in Abruzzo. Then, in what can only be explained as fate, randomly sitting next to Bruce Hunter (President of Shaw Ross wines) on our return flight to the US and him knowing Eros and importing wine from the Galasso family. For more infomation please visit CastronovoVineyard.com.

Sauvignon Blanc: This wine displays crisp Sauvignon Blanc characteristics of gooseberry and lemon grass on the nose, which carry through to the palate along with pear, kiwi and zesty lime flavors that accent the wine through a crisp finish. With racy citrus notes, this wine will enliven dishes that call for a splash of fresh citrus, such as seafood, ocean fish or poultry. It also makes a refreshing pairing with lighter fare such as goat cheese, salads, and crudités. More information about Third Wife Sauvignon Blanc here! |
|
Cabernet Sauvignon: Full-bodied and complex, displaying classic Cabernet structure and finesse. A memorable pairing with roasted and grilled meats such as leg of lamb, prime rib, or porterhouse steak. More information about Third Wife Cabernet Sauvignon here! |

Pinot Noir Mendocino County: Throughout the 2007 growing season, the weather was near perfect, allowing Handley to bring in fruit with excellent texture and flavor. This Mendocino County Pinot Noir is a fruit-forward, multi-layered wine. It shows aromas of blackberry and dark plum, with a bit of blueberry, cinnamon, and vanilla. A smooth texture carries the flavor into a long finish. A versatile food pairing wine, Handley's 2007 Pinot Noir, Mendocino County has a special affinity for caramelized flavors. Try it with crisp herb-roasted potatoes, roast leg of lamb with rosemary and garlic, or grilled teriyaki beef and chicken. More information about Handley - Pinot Noir here! |
|
Chardonnay: This wine has that wonderful Santa Barbara tropical fruit aroma with clear elements of pineapple, mango, guava and papaya which turns toward fresh, golden apple and butter cream on the palate. More information about Daniel Gehrs Chardonnay here! |
|
Syrah: Gehrs interpretation of the Syrah leans toward the style and tradition of the Rhone with moderate alcohol, smoothness, balance and a real appetite for food. It has been aged for 30 months with a portion on heavy toast French oak which adds an enticing, smoky aroma to the dominant elements of black stone fruit and fresh, sun-warmed thyme. This Syrah is recommended to be paired with grilled meats of all types and the bold flavors of Mediterranean cooking. Enjoy over the next five years. More information about Daniel Gehrs Syrah here! |
|
Chenin Blanc: There is a ripe pear aroma together with notes of honey and flowers. Also reveals white peach and a subtle but distinct touch of Botrytis which takes that honeyed perfume to an even higher level. Expect a vanilla-marzipan-roasted hazelnut complex to emerge on top of the youthful fruit. Flavors range from nectarine to white peach to lemon meringue to ripe green plum and lemon rind. The purely natural, unadjusted acidity is enough to support a palate that is big, juicy, lush and fat. The acidity shows up in the tangy finish together with the vineyard’s signature minerality giving the wine great cut and a long, clean aftertaste. In the simplest terms, this is a full bodied but very well balanced wine. More information about Daniel Gehrs Chenin Blanc here! |

Cabernet Sauvignon: Full-bodied and complex, displaying classic Cabernet structure and finesse. A memorable pairing with roasted and grilled meats such as leg of lamb, prime rib, or porterhouse steak. More information about Domaine Sancerre here! |

Big Bear Brewing Co. opened its doors in July of 1997. Our concept was based on serving fresh brewed beer with quality and creative food in a warm and friendly atmosphere. When we opened, brewpubs were expanding throughout the country. Since then, the brewpub concept has slowed, but not Big Bear. We like to think of our very loyal guests as family, and after 15 years that family continues to grow. We have a strong foundation in this community and are very proud of that achievement. Behind the scenes of any successful restaurant is a devoted staff… we have many who have been with us since the beginning. Consistency breeds success and for that we thank our crew.
