It was such a pleasure to have new and old friends under our roof at the winery last week. I so look forward to welcoming you back, again and again.

Most of you knew nothing of our wines and had never tasted any of them until your visit. 

I have put together a selection of 6 of our best and most interesting wines to commemorate these wonderful events, but also to give you the opportunity to become more familiar with our work.

I have selected 3 wines from the Scholium Project, the first wines that I made at  the beginning of my winemaking career, all from Northern California; and three wines from my new project, the Los Angeles River Wine Company, all made from historical vineyards in Southern California. I have included two bottles of each wine, so that you can taste one right away, and save one to review, revisit, share: 12 bottles in total.

SCHOLIUM PROJECT:

1. 2019 LA SEVERITA: this is the wine that we began the evening with on Wednesday, at the Machiavelli event. A rich and burnished white wine
2. 2018 THE SYLPHS: a supremely beautiful white wine, made from an old vine Chardonnay vineyard in Napa
3. 2021 LES COTEAUX: a sharp and herbal wine, pale in color, but not exactly white. Made from a very cold climate vineyard in Cambria, near the ocean, from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay

LARWCO:

1. 2023 HEART OF SAND RED: a beautifully floral light red wine from Cinsault, planted in 1905 in Cucamonga
2. 2023 LONE WOLF BLANC: an intense, complex, and powerful white wine, made from mixed grapes from a wild vineyard planted in 1896 on the Pechanga Reservation in Temecula
3. 2023 LOPEZ RED: a beautiful and structured red wine, made from Zinfandel, but not typical, planted in Cucamonga in 1918.

We hope that you will choose the "pickup at winery" option for delivery-- we would love to put the wine in your hands ourselves. If coming by the winery is not convenient, we will be honored to deliver by hand in the general vicinity of Los Angeles.
