Wine Dinner in Sacramento: Tuli Bistro

Friday, February 26th, 2010

Save the Date on Monday, March 22nd for an evening of fun at Tuli Bistro!


Tuli Bistro is a small, stylish, individualistic restaurant in the downtown area of Sacramento.  Chef Adam Pechal, a Sacramento area native,  creates a distinct urban flare with sophistication. The changing menu may have flavors of Asian fusion, tastes of Latin cuisine, or southern comfort slow-cooked foods.

If you haven’t had the chance to dine with them, it’s a must… and we are lucky enough to have Chef create a menu that pairs perfectly with our wines! We will have more details on the price, menu, and time in a few days – but please mark this on your calendar.

Cheers!

Our 2008 Pinot Noir: “unpretentious deliciousness”

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

The Wine Harlots tasted our 2008 Generations Pinot Noir and had some great quotes – even a food pairing!

Check out the WineHarlots.com.

First, they made it clear this is one unique Pinot Noir:

This ain’t your daddy’s pinot noir.  And that’s a good thing.  For under a Jackson (a Hamilton plus a Lincoln, if you want to be precise) you can get a bottle of unpretentious deliciousness.

I love ‘deliciousness‘ as a wine descriptor – sounds like me at home describing the wine de jour!  But also, it illustrates that sometimes we don’t have to get super detailed with our wine jargon – if it’s good, it’s good!

Like most of our wines, our Pinot Noir is reasonably priced so it can be enjoyed (without pretentiousness) on a regular basis: $16.00 a bottle or $12.80 for Wine Clubbers.
