In a kingdom where jealousy, betrayal and deception are common story lines, it was up to our guests to find the felon so that everyone could live happily ever after at our mystery dinner, "Once Upon A Murder". A scrumptious four course dinner was served by Chef Daniel with Elite Catering with each course paired to Calico Skies wines.

We had a blast celebrating Halloween and debuting Chambourcin 2015 at our October Winemaker's Dinner! We host monthly dinners giving us an opportunity to introduce you to our wines in a different way. Each month is dedicated to a wine on our menu. Chef Tina also shares a recipe from the menu each month and I would recommend giving this one a try! Savory Bacon Walnut Scone... Yum. Thank you to all who attended! Here are a few pics and videos we captured from evening...

A WALK IN THE CLOUDS [CLUB CALICO JOURNEY EVENT]

9/8/2016

0 Comments

 
We started the evening off by enjoying an appetizer by Elite Catering and live music by musician, Billy Lurken. We toured and tasted our way through the vineyard and journeyed back to the pergola for dinner and dessert. This event gives us chance to show our members what we have been doing in the vineyard as well as describing our vineyard site and how that effects the grapes and how the weather this year has affected the 2016 vintage. 

Thank you to everyone who made it out to make this event special!

WINEMAKER'S BBQ FEATURING SWEET LICKS

6/20/2016

0 Comments

 

JULY WINE OF THE MONTH - SWEET LICKS

"Brilliant clear ruby color. Bright, fruity aromas and flavors of red berry nut tart and grape popsicle and seltzer with a silky, tangy, petillant, off-dry light-to-medium body and a smooth, buoyant cranberry and sour cherry sorbets and red grape skins finish with soft, crunchy, fruit tannins and no oak. A nice, grapey off-dry wine with mouthwatering acidity."
