Just some good ole boy, making some home brew.
We try to get 3-4 batches of beer in a year, and this year I think we’ll double that amount as we start to branch out into all different sorts of alcoholic/foodie processes… Here’s one of our first “All-Grain” Beer Making batches. If you’d like the recipe and the step by steps on how to brew this Amber Ale as well just drop me a line.
Cheers!

Leaf and Vine 2010 Amador County Zinfandel“Quartz Block” Appellation, Amador County, California
Using a diverse mixture of French Oak barrels we’ve produced a wine that rivals anything you will find from Dry Creek, Napa Valley or other similar appellations. it’s aromatically complex with smells as diverse as Black Pepper, Molasses, Rhubarb, Mint, Blackberries, Anise and Vanilla; let it sit in the glass and all the beauty of briar patch fruit and the Amador terroir come through. The mouth feel has length and structure that rivals many Napa Valley Cabernets, but with the same bright up front vibrancy you hope for in a great Zin. Buy this Wine!
Leaf and Vine 2010 Russian River Sauvignon Blanc“Grand View” Appellation, Sonoma County, California
This wine has developed a layered mouth feel with sweet, soft tannins without any residual sugar. The acidity is still crisp – letting you know that it’s Sauvignon Blanc – but its complex nature really separates it from a Sauvignon Blanc market that has become generic. (This is starting to change; there are some really interesting winemaking techniques being used in recent years.) On the nose the wine is laced with stone fruits and citrus notes; a hint of lemon grass and vanilla really give this wine a spice character that balances that Russian River fruit. Buy this Wine!

We wish to thank you once more for the lovely ideas you offered Jeremy when preparing her own post-graduate research in addition to, most importantly, with regard to providing the many ideas in one blog post. Provided that we had been aware of your web site a year ago, we’d have been saved the pointless measures we were selecting. Thank you very much.
