BRIX Wine Cellars Presents:
Hawkes Wine Dinner
Wednesday September 16, 2009
7:00pm |
Greetings!,
Join us Wednesday September 16th at 7:00pm for a five-course wine dinner and
an opportunity to meet the winemaker of Hawkes Winery: Jake Hawkes. We are limiting this dinner to the first 24 reservations.
The Hawkes family has been growing grapes in
the Alexander Valley for more than 30 years. Today they own and farm
three vineyards, all planted on sparsely soiled hillsides, and all
yielding small amounts of highly intense fruit. Their newest vineyard, which was planted on Chalk
Hill Road in 1996, is named the "Pyramid" for the extremely sharp, often
terraced, hills on which it grows. The entire Pyramid Ranch is nearly
120 acres, only 18 acres of which are planted - all in Cabernet Sauvignon.
 In his own words: Jacob Hawkes is a bald man in his early thirties. He wears glasses and a
beard and has a sort of athlete-gone-to-seed figure. He was born and
raised on the farm on Chalk Hill Road, where his mother and father
still live.
On an evening that is sure to be entertaining, Jeff will be pairing four courses with four of Jake's low production wines: a Chardonnay, a Merlot, a Cabernet, and the single-vineyard Cabernet from the Pyramid vineyard. Jeff will finish the evening with a dessert and dessert wine pairing.
