Wine Tasting Tuesday
Special Guest - Fontaine McFadden from McFadden Farm, Potter Valley, CA (Blue Quail Organic Wines)
Estate-Grown, Family-Owned, Organic
Tucked into the Northwest corner of Potter Valley, in beautiful Mendocino County, all of our grapes are estate-grown and organic. We use different farming techniques across our seven varieties to enhance their individual characteristics and terroir. Once harvested, we whole cluster press and then cold ferment in stainless steel, which results in award-winning wines, true to the varietal character. We hope you’ll get to know all of our wines and enjoy them with good food and great company.
Our Own Label
Because of the high quality of our grapes, wineries such as Robert Mondavi, Chateau Montelena, Sterling, Berenger, Navarro, Bonterra, Fetzer, and Piper Sonoma (among others) have been pleased to buy grapes from us over the years. As time went on, we discovered that our grapes produced outstanding wines for other producers, so we decided to make wine under our own label. Our first varietal was Pinot Gris in 2003 and those first 300 cases were terrific and quickly sold out. The next year we added Riesling, then Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, and Zinfandel in 2005, and Chardonnay in 2006. Today we produce whites, reds, rose and sparkling wines. Have you tried them all yet?
