  • 8 Great Places for Zinfandel in Sonoma's Dry Creek Valley Sarah Fritsche Updated 2:11 Pm, Friday, April 25, 2014
    8 great places for Zinfandel in Sonoma's Dry Creek Valley Sarah Fritsche Updated 2:11 pm, Friday, April 25, 2014 Dry Creek Valley, a 16-mile stretch at the northern end of Sonoma County, is home to more than 70 wineries. It's also a jackpot for Zinfandel lovers. The region, which boasts more than 9,000 acres of vineyards, just so happens to have one of the heaviest concentrations of old-vine Zinfandel in the world. Here are some places to taste it: Papapietro Perry Winery You'll find this winery tucked away in Timber Crest Farms, home to a collective of several family-owned wineries, along with an olive oil producer, a viticultural services company and a food manufacturing company in Healdsburg. Winemaker Ben Papapietro, who owns the winery along with his wife, Yolanda, and partners Bruce and Renae Perry, specializes in high-end Pinot Noir and Zinfandel. Papapietro learned winemaking from his Italian grandfather who made red blends in his basement. At the fun-loving and family-friendly tasting room, visitors can taste five wines for $10. A private tasting option, Pinot on the Patio, is also available, pairing the winery's single-vineyard Pinot Noirs with carefully selected cheeses ($45; reservations required). The property also features a picnic garden and bocce ball court. 4791 Dry Creek Road, Healdsburg; (707) 433-0422. www.papapietro-perry.com. 11 a.m.-4:30 p.m. daily. Seghesio Family Vineyards This multigenerational winemaking family planted its first Zinfandel vines in 1895, though it took the Seghesios nearly a century to begin bottling wines under their own label.

  • Passport to Dry Creek Valley 2015: Another Highly Successful Year May 4, 2015 by Melissa Vogt
    Passport to Dry Creek Valley 2015: Another highly successful year May 4, 2015 By Melissa Vogt A view of iconic valley floor vineyards, densely­planted to old vine Zinfandel, is the first scene that comes to mind when someone speaks of the acclaimed Dry Creek Valley appellation—and rightly so. Dry Creek ​ ​ Valley is home to some of Sonoma County’s oldest and most prestigious Zinfandel vineyards, many of which were showcased in the incredible wines poured at this year’s Passport to Dry Creek Valley weekend, hosted ​ ​ by Winegrowers of Dry Creek Valley. ​ ​ Prelude to Passport with West Wines Melissa Vogt ​ Prelude to Passport with West Wines Friday night’s inaugural Prelude to Passport proved incredibly successful with vineyard tours and lunches ​ ​ held during the daytime, and elegant, intimate dinners hosted by winemakers that same evening. Perhaps the most eloquent and impressive of them all, was the West Wines Nobel Prize Awards Banquet themed dinner, hosted at the West Wines owners’ estate. Nestled at the top of a ridge at the end of the narrow, ​ ​ steep, winding West Dry Creek Road, the estate of Bengt Akerlind and Katarina Bonde is modern and inviting. Modern art adorns the colorful walls alongside family portraits and collectibles from travel abroad. Expansive windows make way for light to penetrate the open­design floor space. Of course, the views these windows provide—of the stunning Dry Creek Valley—is the perfect setting for a dinner that precedes such a wonderful weekend event. Once outside on the patio, a 360 degree look at Dry Creek Valley shows that the terrain is much more varied than it seems from the view of the valley floor.
