2008 Cabernet Sauvignon contributes to The Scripps Research InstituteMolly Baber FundMolly Baber was a dear friend and one of the most dynamic and generous people we have ever known. She never missed an opportunity to give back to others. Molly passed away unexpectedly in May of 2004 while working to establish a research center at The Scripps Research Institute in San Diego. We are pleased to be able to support her efforts by contributing a dollar from each bottle sold of our Cabernet Sauvignon to the research fund established in her name.Leslie & Molly traveled all over the world together sharing many adventures as co-workers at GTE. She had a unique gift to motivate people to achieve their very best and she was a tireless mentor to many as they built their careers.The funds will directly contribute to research to help families deal with the chronic disease of diabetes and the life-long commitment represented by organ transplantation.WINNER of 2013 Chili Cook-Off! Mix the spices in a small bowl and set aside. Turn on your slow cooker to high heat. Heat chicken stock in the microwave for 1 minute. Put hot stock in slow cooker. In a large sauté pan on medium high heat, cook the onion in the oil/butter until just turning brown (about 10 min). Add garlic and sauté for about 3-5 minutes longer. To the pan, add the shredded chicken and seasoning mix. Mix well and deglaze with additional chicken stock*…just enough to incorporate and thicken. Add the chicken mixture to the slow cooker, followed by the beans, tomatoes, tomato paste, green chilies, cinnamon, agave and hot sauce. Cook on high for 1 hour, then reduce to low for an additional 3-4 hours. Shortly before serving, add the cream cheese and mix well. Serve – top each bowl with cheese, then sour cream and avocado. Serves 6 or more. Pairs well with William Church Viognier |
Our WinesCURRENT RELEASES2010 Sur La Mer - Bordeaux Style Blend Sur La Mer means "on the sea" in French and is a reference to the romantic seaport city in France where Leslie was born. Beautifully refined this Merlot dominant Bordeaux style blend uses all 5 of the Bordeaux varietals to create complexity and interest. Well integrated flavors of red fruit, black tea, cinnamon & baking spices create an elegant wine with lingering flocal notes in the finish. 2010 2 Spires - Syrah/Cabernet Sauvignon Blend The name 2 Spires refers to the two wines that make up this bold and expressive blend of 65% Syrah and 35% Caberenet Sauvignon. Intensely flavorful with layers of dark fruit and mixed wild berries, this wine is well balanced and dense on the palate with powerful concentration. The use of larger puncheon barrels allows the subtle integration of oak while preserving the freshness and purity of the fruit. 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon The 2010 Cabernet starts with aromas of fresh red fruit and rose petals with juicy raspberry and cassis flavors and an undelying hint of chocolate mocha. Well balance with sweet oak and well integrated tannins this wine is beautifully well rounded and ready to drink now or add to your cellar for additional aging. Only 186 cases made; $40 2012 Viognier Our flagship Viognier has beautiful aromatics of fresh pear and honeysuckle.
