Near the Sierra Foothills town of Placerville, they noticed the name “Skinner” on the map, and got curious. After checking with some local folks and getting some more information, he called us to share the discovery. After doing some digging of our own, we discovered that I am the great-great-great-grandson more about our ancestor’s thriving winery and pioneering role in the region, we were compelled to buy property, plant vines in the area and reclaim the family legacy. And so, Skinner Vineyards and Winery was born. RESURRECTING THE LEGACY In 2006, we bought a property a mile or so from the original Skinner Winery and started developing the site. We brought winemaker Chris Pittenger, formerly with Williams Selyem and Marcassin in Sonoma and Torbreck in Australia, on board the same year. We worked closely with Chris in planning the new Skinner Vineyards and Winery operation, creating a winemaking program that aims to honor our family history while respecting the wines of the Rhone Valley in France – the birthplace of the fruit we grow. We’ve also planted heirloom grape varietals once grown at the original winery, including rare cultivars that have been considered lost for decades. We foster their resurrection and the important place we believe they hold in the future of California wines.

  • 2018 Bronson Bros. Our Most Fruit-Forward GSM Blend Features Layers of Rich Fruit from Grenache, Counoise, and Petite Sirah
    2018 Bronson Bros. Our most fruit-forward GSM blend features layers of rich fruit from Grenache, Counoise, and Petite Sirah. It’s redolent with red cherry and red raspberry that is surrounded by savory notes of dried herbs, garrigue, and tobacco with a hint of red velvet cake on the finish. This medium body wine is smooth yet multi-layered with a bright and elegant finish. This wine is a welcoming little mosaic, which pairs with many foods, and you will keep coming back for more! The wine’s name honors the first winemakers in Placerville, the Bronson Brothers, who established a nursery and vineyard in Smith Flat, just across the street from the present-day Smith Flat House and began producing wines in 1857. For a number of years, they were the largest winemakers in the County. From the top of the ridge above our Amphitheater, you can see the site of their vineyard. One hundred sixty-three years later, their vision survives in this lovely GSM blend. WINE ENTHUSIAST POINTS92 WINE PROFILE GRAPE VARIETY: 26% Grenache, 23% Syrah, 18% Mourvèdre, 12% Petite Sirah, 9% Counoise, 7% Cinsaut, 5% Roussanne APPELLATION: El Dorado AVA VINEYARD: Starfield Estate VINES: Planted 2013 - 2015 ELEVATION & SITE: 2,300-2,400 feet. Grenache and Mourvèdre are planted near the top of the hill, where they bask in the afternoon sun, as does Petite Sirah, which is planted on a south-facing slope just below the lake. Syrah and Roussanne grow on cooler north and east slopes near the Tasting Room, while Cinsaut is planted in the cooler part of the vineyard, at the bottom of the hill, preserving its delicate aromas.

  • July 2020 Newsletter
    Summer 2020 Newsletter Happy July 2020! 2020 has definitely not turned out the way most of us expected. We are now in our fifth month of the Covid-19 pandemic. And if you have been like me, you have been sheltering-in-place, limiting the time you spend in public places. But even though we are not going out, not traveling, and not socializing, life is continuing on and hopefully you are filling your days with work, fun and laughter. For me, this summer marks Please The Palate's 9th anniversary! It is really hard to believe that nine years have passed already. Time definitely flies. To celebrate the anniversary, the Please The Palate website got an overhaul. I hope you will check it out and sign up to receive story updates. I also wanted to share a few things with you! During this time at home, I have started to grow a hydroponic farmstand on my small concrete patio. I am currently growing 18 different vegetables and fruits, including strawberries, watermelon, lettuces, eggplant, green beans and more!. Anyone can grow their own food! If you are interested, check out Lettuce Grow and save $50 with the code: FRIEND-X6BU I have been drinking a lot of wine, of course. And I invested in a Coravin which has helped me when I have to taste through a series of wines and don't want to open all the bottles. If you are interested in getting a Coravin, I can offer a 10% discount with the code: CCRXRBUD3Y Lastly, if you are looking for some fun wine tastings while supporting a great cause, check out these upcoming virtual events (July 11, 12, 18, 19) that I will be hosting for Vintage Hollywood and the GO Campaign.

  • The International Wine Review
    Complimentary Copy The International Wine Review California Zinfandel: A New Look Foreword by Joel Peterson Special Double Issue May/June 2017 1 Foreward Zinfandel has a long history in California. Much of that history is about adaptation to changing circumstance. The last 40 years have brought more change to the style and quality of the wines made from Zinfandel than ever before. Hence, while much has been written about this grape and its wine over the years, it is a bit surprising that a comprehensive up-to-date synopsis of its history in California, the growing regions that it inhabits, the winemakers who have wholeheartedly embraced it, or the excellent wines that are crafted from Zinfandel has not emerged. Fortunately that has changed with this report. As the modern California wine business has emerged from the late 1960’s the skill of its winemakers, the understanding of viticulture, wine making technology and consumer enthusiasm have all reach levels never before achieved. This has benefited Zinfandel greatly. Its ancient DNA has found a comfortable fit in the evolving California wine scene. The wines are better, at all levels, than they have ever been. The current review of California Zinfandel from the good people at the International Wine Review could not come at a more opportune time. They have written a thorough review of the current state of Zinfandel in California, its history, growing regions, winemakers, wineries and of course, its wine. While I cannot endorse the scores given the wines, as they are entirely the opinion of the International Wine Review.
