SFChron: New Vnyds East of SantaCruz

by TomHill » Tue Apr 17, 2012 10:49 am

A very well-researched & well-written article by JonBonne in today's SFChron:
SFChron:SantaCruzVnyds

on the vnyd expansion going on to the east of SantaCruz in the southern foothills of the SantaCruzMtns. Mostly of the Pinot/Chard paradigm. Looks for all the world to me as being prime Nebbiolo/Tazzalenghe country. KevinHarvey, always known for sniffing out primo vnyd sites, is planting down there near Corralitas.

I wish I would have had more time to spend in Santa Cruz when I was there a few weeks ago.

Home to some of my favorites. I love Domaine Eden and ($$$$$$) Katherine Kennedy.

I've only had one Windy Oaks wine, and it was a fine bucket of fruit with not a sharp edge to be found anywhere, but for $50 it sure as hell should have been that good. I would be curious to try out some of the ones listed, though.
