SEPTEMBER WINE CLUB GRAPE STOMP! A NOTE FROM THE WINERY

Dear wine club members,

With the end of August approaching, we are

working on having the cellar ready for harvest.

Our first mission was to free up as many barrels

as possible, and we did. We just finished

putting the 2013 Pinot Noir in bottle, leaving

the barrels ready to receive the 2014 Crush.

It is that time of year when we begin to

contemplate how our weather pattern

impacts the grapes. I am already wondering

how this warm summer and recent rain will

influence the flavor profile of our 2014 grapes.

August has also brought our vineyard

expansion into full swing. We are underway in

preparing the ground for another 100+ acres

of vines. The new plantings will also increase

the range of flavor profiles as they are going in

at an elevation of 1600 feet. Thanks to the

diversity of soil type, slopes and varied

exposition found at Del Rio, more complex

wine is going to be made. Planting will begin

in April 2015 with the first very light harvest in

2016 and full production in 2018.

A votre Santé!

The 2013 Viognier is showing

an intense and refreshing

nose with notes of melon,

peach and anise. In

addition, hints of Acacia

flowers and menthol add an

intriguing complexity to the

nose. The mouth is opening

with a round and creamy

sensation with a touch of

pastries. Some melon and

white flower notes bring

freshness to the wine while a

nice minerality balances it

and gives length and

elegance.

HONEY GLAZED CHICKEN WINGS INGREDIANTS 1/2 cup local honey

1/4 cup hoisin sauce

3 tbsp Garlic Lover's Vinegar or fresh lemon juice

2 tbsp Garlic Ginger Salt

1 tsp sesame oil

2 tsp Vindaloo (a curry pepper seasoning)

3 lbs boneless skinless chicken wings

DIRECTIONS

Whisk together all marinade ingredients in a medium bowl. Set aside. Cut each chicken thigh in half. Place

chicken pieces in a large, heavy-duty, resealable plastic bag. Add 1/2 the marinade to bag. Turn bag sev-

eral times to coat chicken with marinade. Marinate in refrigerator for at least 2 hours, overnight is even bet-

ter. Preheat oven to 400ºF. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and fold or roll the chicken pieces into uni-

form oblong “wings.” Place wings on baking sheet so that they are touching, this will help hold the

shape. Bake for 10min, chicken should be partially cooked and still pink in the middle. Preheat gas grill to

medium-high heat. Coat grill rack lightly with oil or cooking spray. Transfer wings to grill and cook for 2 to 3

minutes per side. Baste often with reserved marinade to ensure fantastic flavor. The finished wings will have

grill marks and a char grilled flavor. Serve wings hot or cold with radishes, celery, carrot sticks and cold blue

cheese dip.

DIRECTIONS

In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise and crème

fraiche. Add minced garlic, vinegar and Blue

Heaven powder. Whisk until completely smooth. Add

salt, pepper, and Worcestershire or a few drops of

hot sauce to taste. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes or

up to 24 hours to allow flavors to meld. Store in an

airtight container and use within three days.
