10 Span Vineyards???

Anybody know anything about this CentralCoast operation???

I noticed their ad in my recent TonyBlue Tasting magazine that I receive. It's probably the lamest wine publication I receive. I read it primarily for the pics of hot chicks and cool dudes, all trying to out-hot and out-cool others ITB. And to keep track of all the goings-on at the highest levels of Southern Wine&Spirits. And see what the ultra-hip Professors of Mixology are creating. But every once in awhile, I'll stumble across something that piques my interest, like this.
Curious as to if this is a Gallo venture or the people behind that label.

`Cmon man, I googled Tony Blue and came up with zippo. Where are the chics?

Awww....Bob.....didn't realize you were into cleavage/tatoos/punk hairdos. You're more hip than I thought!!!
Google "Anthony Dias Blue wine tasting magazine" & you'll get the on-line version.

Nope....that's a pretty typical issue. The mag is laced thru w/ hip folks. Though I did refuse their offer to feature me as their centrfold!!!

Tom has it right, this is typical for the magazine. Think of it as a wholly owned subsidiary of whatever alcohol producer is willing to pony up advertising bucks.

Hoke can be so searingly, insightfully unkind.

If you click and look at other sample pages, if you zoom you can read a typically insightful ADB piece on the wine industry. Yes, he devotes an entire column to bemoaning a trade tasting where they printed wines and prices on a single sheet- they didn't give him a tasting notes sheet. Shocking! Though I might have liked to read the Badoit article, one of my favorite waters.

CT has one 10Span wine listed, a 2010 Chardonnay. With one (really confusing ) TN:
Apple and cantaloupe nose, citrus and creamy on the palate, fairly balanced. We drank the pinot gris, but this ap says Chardonnay.. It is 70% chardonnay grape.
