Wine Tasting – Wines of California

On Friday we have curated a special wine tasting event with 3 wonderful wineries.

E16 Winery – Located in Somerset CA

Founder Robert Jones purchased Firefall’s El Dorado County estate vineyards with the dream of honoring his grandfather’s wine growing legacy. Committed to sustainable farming, the year-round nurturing of each vine culminates in hand harvested grapes that are fermented and aged with the lightest possible touch to create wines expressing a sense of place and distinction in the bottle.

They have vineyards in Fair Play and the Russian River Valley. They are separated by 150 miles and 2,000 feet of elevation, but they are bonded by a commitment to honoring land and tradition with wines expressing a sense of place, longstanding partnerships with growers, and distinction in the bottle.

Starfield Winery – Located in the Sierra Nevada foothills at 2400 feet.

“At Starfield Vineyards, we believe that great wines are sourced from “Star Fields” — unique sites where fruit can develop the optimal balance of aroma, flavor, and texture. It is our philosophy and passion to make amazing wines that are in harmony with the vineyards and reflect the distinct terroir our “Star Fields”. We offer a diverse selection of Rhone varietals, Italian varietals, Sparkling Wines, Cabernets, Chardonnays, and Pinot Noirs that are sourced from our Sierra Highlands Estate and Coastal vineyards.

Baletto Vineyard  – Located in Santa Rosa, CA 

Balletto Vineyards, a family-owned, estate winery in Sonoma County, is proud to announce that they have officially saved more than 1 million pounds of CO2 from the environment (the equivalent of about 8,000 trees planted) since going 100% solar-powered in 2022. This milestone demonstrates that sustainability is not just a buzzword at Balletto, but a reflection of the family’s commitment to the future.”
