Robert Biale
Here is the sensational new lineup of 2024 Zins by Robert Biale. It is my pleasure to bring you one of California Zinfandel producers. The story of Robert Biale is an inspired history that utilizes some of the oldest Zinfandel sites in the area, producing wines with good ripeness but overall a focus on poise, flavor and aromatic range. These are wines that are well-structured and bring a great sense of place. At the helm is David Natali. A New York native, David graduated from Georgetown’s School of Foreign Service and developed a passion for winemaking after bottling at a friend’s small winery. He formerly served as cellar hand at Clos Pegase Winery and later studied at the University of Montpellier in France, where he received his master’s degree in Viticulture and Enology. After two and a half years of living and studying abroad in Montpellier, France, and Udine, Italy, David returned to California. He became the Assistant Winemaker for La Rochelle Winery, later taking the Assistant

Sip Sustainably in Lodi: Where to Taste LODI RULES Wine
Have you ever picked up a bottle of wine and looked closely at the label? If you're tasting in Lodi, chances are you've noticed a small green seal on the back of the bottle. It reads CERTIFIED GREEN, and it tells a story that starts long before the wine enters the bottle, one that reaches back into the vineyard rows, the soil, and a farming community that decided decades ago to hold itself to a higher standard. That seal is the mark of LODI RULES , America's original third-party certified sustainable winegrowing program. More Than a Label The program evolved from the Lodi Winegrape Commission, formed when Lodi's growers came together to protect the long-term future of farming in Lodi, for their families, their neighbors, and the generations to come. Long before sustainability became an industry buzzword, the Commission launched a grassroots education program in 1992 aimed at reducing pesticide use by learning about the entire vineyard ecosystem. That effort, shaped by over a

Behind the Cork™ - Gundlach Bundschu Sonoma Mountain Cuvee
2019 Gundlach Bundschu Sonoma Mountain Cuvée ($18) For six generations and over 160 years, the Bundschu family has farmed the Rhinefarm estate vineyard at the crossroads of the Sonoma Valley, Carneros and Napa Valley appellations. Mountain Cuvée honors the Bordeaux blends of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Gundlach Bundschu sources it grapes from vineyards up against the Mayacamas Mountain range. For the Merlot, they seek grapes that ripen well and have an expressive personality and consistency. Then they look for the Cabernet Sauvignon to provide a darkness to the wine. They source the fruit from only two growers within 2 miles of their estate to create the Cuvée, or blend. During the winemaking process, they blend vineyard blocks together, evaluate and then create an appropriate oak-aging program, averaging 14 months in duration, primarily in French oak. This Gundlach Bundschu Mountain Cuvée is deep purple in color with soft aromas of deep black fruit, herbal hints and a touch of cara
