We’re headed to the Foothills!  We’ll start at Terre Rouge Winery – one of Wine & Spirits Top 100 Wineries in 2023 – and enjoy tasting through some award winning Syrahs, Zinfandels and a few other rare goodies.  Winemaker and Co-Owner Bill Easton started his wine career in Berkeley where he opened a small, boutique wine shop called Solano Cellars.  He now has a great reputation in the wine world as a champion of the foothills terroir – he’s been making great wines from this under-represented region since the 1980’s.

We’ll enjoy a boxed lunch at the picnic tables after we taste the wines at Terre Rouge.

 Then we head over to Casino Mine Ranch tasting room. The wines are just as exquisite as the views.  We’ll taste through a handful of Casino Mine Ranch wines that have an impressive pedigree not only for the terroir but also the winemaking.  The consulting winemaker is Andy Erickson.  He is best known for making Screaming Eagle, Harlan and Staglin Wines. Assistant Winemaker Jessica Tarpy Shaheen has been working with Andy on multiple projects, including Casino Mine Ranch, for nearly a decade.

We’ll meet at the Terre Rouge Winery and begin our tasting at 11:00am.  After the tasting we’ll enjoy lunch and then schimmy over to the Casino Mine Ranch Tasting Room (it’s about 5 minutes away) for our 2:00 tasting appointment.

The ticket price of $90pp includes the two winery tastings, lunch and gratuities.
