Vine Talk, Outdoor Patio + Food Truck @ Damiani Wine Cellar

Apr 29th, 2021

THIS WEEKEND
PATIO BAR + FOOD TRUCK

We have some great news! Our outdoor patio bar opens tomorrow for the season. That means we'll be slinging vino, eye-smiles, views, and good times. But that's not all.

We're welcoming back the Sabores de Oaxaca food truck all weekend so you can enjoy amazing, authentic mexican fare with our wines.

The patio opens TOMORROW at 10 a.m. We'll see you there!

If you've been following our emails lately you know we released our 2020 Rosé to our Wine Club members and then to the rest of our loyal list.

It sold out quickly and we hope those of you who purchased have had a chance to enjoy a few sips.

As part of the release, we asked owner/winegrower, Phil Davis, for his take on the Rosé. He expands upon our history with Rosé and how Pinot Noir fits into the entire story.

VINE TALK
ROSÉ

At Damiani the passion for Pinot Noir in all its various iterations in the wine world has been at the fore in terms of focus from our inception. The first barrel of wine that Lou and I made was a Pinot Noir from a local vineyard. When I state the first barrel I am speaking literally. Our first year, 1997, as I assisted in the planting of a vineyard on Lou’s property, we made our first attempt at winemaking. Total production, one barrel, thus the flame was lit.

One of the varietals chosen for the initial planting was a 5 clonal mix of Pinot Noir. As the winemaking skills developed and the viticulture improved our Pinot Noir became the go to for myself. In 2004 when we begrudgingly became a legal wine making entity our next venture with Pinot Noir was in the making of champagne. That additional usage of the Pinot Noir grape persists to this day along with our still red wine program.

As the rosé public desire came to the fore and I was introduced to various rosés of the world, no question the most appealing to me were ones made from the Pinot Noir grape. We decided to take that on as a worthy wine with a commitment to making an excellent noteworthy rosé, as is our focus with all of our wines frankly. As winemaker Phil Arras researched and applied his research I feel that we have achieved our goal of elegance and a wine that dances across the palate and portrays our vineyard in a very satisfying manner.

Whether sitting on the deck overlooking the vineyard and the lake or sharing an evening with friends and a meal or sitting in my lazy mans chair watching a baseball game, National League of course, I find great pleasure in our work. I suggest that you may as well.
