ART RECEPTION   ~  March 17th    1-4pm

Photographers Poinski and Satterlee bring their work together for this exhibit at our tasting room, combining the translucent effects of light as well as a similar vision.  While the subject matter of their work may differ, it is the quality of subtle tonality, luminosity in nature, texture and simple but striking compositions that pull the elements together to create an emotional viewing experience.

NEW RELEASES
2010 Reserve Chardonnay, Clarksburg

Our family's River Ranch produces beautiful Chardonnay fruit year after year. 100% barrel fermentation in brand new American oak barrels, coupled with fourteen months of sur-lie aging, created a wine succulent and smooth in texture and overflowing with complexity.  Caramel apples, tropical guava, spicy nutmeg and cinnamon inspire each sip, while the buttery, toasty finish echoes long and lingering.

 

2009 Reserve Syrah, El Dorado Hills      

Deep and dark in color, the rich fruit of black currants and hints of toasted clove come bounding from the glass.  Classic to Syrah, leather and earth tones surround some juniper and cedar; all while being wrapped in sweet black plums.  Amazing legs, good sturdy tannins and a firm structure complete the wine.  Truly a food wine...this Syrah perfectly pairs with game and other hearty dishes now, yet will cellar through 2020.

Available:  At our tasting room in Clarksburg.  Both wines are in limited release.

Oven-Baked Salmon...
A QUICK WEEKNIGHT DINNER
The benefits of a diet high in omega-3's have been proven, but getting them on the table is another matter entirely.  Try this easy and fresh recipe that serves them up quickly and easily, especially on those frenzied weeknights!                                   (Serves 4)

Ingredients:
4 salmon fillets, approx 5 oz. each
1/4 cup dry white wine (ie:  Bogle Sauv Blanc)
Salt & pepper
1 lemon

 

Cooking instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Rinse and pat the fillets dry with a paper towel. 
  • Take a large sheet of aluminum foil and create a pouch in which to place the fish.  Leave enough foil that you can enclose the fillets entirely, creating a poaching "purse."
  • Place fillets in the center of the foil.  Season with salt and pepper liberally. 
  • Slice the lemon thinly, and place one slice on each fillet. 
  • Pour the wine in the pouch, so it surrounds the fish. 
  • Fold up your foil to seal the pouch, making sure to avoid leaks.  Place the pouch on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Peek in to check for doneness...making sure not to overcook. 

Serve alone, with more lemon, or add an accompaniment.  Store-bought salsa, fruit chutney or freshly chopped herbs will all be a great pairing.  Serve with rice pilaf and a fresh salad.  Enjoy!!

 

 

OUR WINE SUGGESTIONS: 
You can serve both red and white wine with the meaty salmon.    Try our 2010 Reserve Chardonnay or our 2010 Pinot Noir.  Both will be a great compliment!
