  • 2015 Chardonnay Varietal Composition 100% Chardonnay Appellation Los Carneros Los Carneros Harvest September 2015
    2015 Chardonnay Varietal Composition 100% Chardonnay Appellation Los Carneros Los Carneros Harvest September 2015 Technical Data ALC: 14.3% by vol.; TA: 5.6 G/L; pH: 3.50 Cooperage 70% 9 Months in French Oak Barrels (30% New) 30% Fermented and Aged in Stainless Steel Tanks Production 10,400 Cases About The Vineyard Our Chardonnay vineyards span the entire cool climate Carneros region. Temperatures are moderated by the adjoining San Pablo Bay, cool afternoon breezes, and persistent morning fog. As the hot air above California’s Central Valley rises, it is replaced by cool air from the Pacific Ocean. The sun burns off this fog late in the morning which causes the temperature to immediately jump 15 degrees. This climate yields grapes that have both enough cool hang time and sunshine to develop great natural acidity and deep fruit flavor. The blend of the 2015 Carneros Chardonnay consists of 70% Estate grown fruit, and 30% from several neighboring growers who have farmed grapes for Artesa for many years. Winemaking The grapes were hand-harvested at night, and brought over to the winery in the early morning hours. Winemaker Ana Diogo-Draper used different types of techniques to press the grapes: the majority of the grapes were whole-cluster pressed, using a slow cycle that gently pushes the must rendering clean juice but few solids. The remaining lots were a combination of destemmed and whole cluster grapes in the same press load. The grapes were able to macerate in the press for about 2 hours, being tasted every 15 minutes, in order to extract a distinct fruit profile.

  • Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley
    Keenan Napa Valley Spring Mountain District 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley TASTING NOTES The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon is composed primarily of grapes grown on Keenan’s Spring Moun - tain District Estate; the remainder of the fruit was harvested from the Napa Carneros region and Pope Valley, a grape growing region located in the eastern portion of Napa. Keenan’s Estate Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were harvested beginning on September 3rd, with the final lot being picked on September 23rd. After harvest, the fruit clusters were de-stemmed, then fermented for ten to fourteen days. The wine was barrel aged in thirty-three percent new French and American oak for twenty months. The blend was assembled just before bottling. The Estate grown Cabernet imparts amazing con - centration and remarkable structure, while the portion of Cabernet harvested from Pope Valley adds complex aromas and a balanced mid-palate. REVIEWS Antonio Galloni , Vinous , December 2016 91 Points : “The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon offers notable depth and intensity in the mid-weight, classically inspired style that runs through all these wines. The coarse, somewhat rustic, tannins need quite a bit of air to soften, but once they do, pretty red stone fruit, spice and floral notes start to develop.” WINE DATA Alcohol: 14.3% Total Acidity: 0.62 grams/100 ml pH: 3.74 Residual Sugar: Dry Bottling Date: August10, 2016 Production: 4,680 cases Blend: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon Vineyard Sources 78% Estate, Spring Mtn.

  • Keenan Winery Tasting Notes
    Keenan Napa Valley Spring Mountain District 2018 Chardonnay, Napa Valley, Spring Mountain District, TASTING NOTES Keenan's 2018 Chardonnay was hand harvested, de-stemmed, then gently pressed. The juice was fermented and aged in French and American oak barrels. The wine was left on the lees and the barrels were stirred weekly. No secondary, or malolactic fermentation was carried out, leading to the crisp, citrus character of this wine. The wine was bottled after approximately seven months of aging in the cellar. The finished wine shows citrus, ripe pear and green apple in the nose. Hints of lush white peach are noticed as the wine opens up. The sur-lie aging has added richness and complexity, and a touch of toasty oak returns on the finish. Like all of Keenan’s wines, this Chardonnay is a food worthy wine whose crisp acidity and medium body will accompany a wide variety of food cuisine. REVIEWS Robert M. Parker, Jr.’s, The Wine Advocate , November 2019 “The 2018 Chardonnay features notions of applesauce, honeydew melons and warm apricots with touches of brioche, chopped almonds and cedar. Medium-bodied, the palate has a refresh - ing line lifting the toasty/savory flavors, finishing on a fruity note.” - Lisa Perrotti-Brown WINE DATA Alcohol: 14.2% Total Acidity: 0.78 grams/100 ml pH: 3.37 Residual Sugar: Dry Bottling Date: May 9, 2019 Production: 2,042 cases Blend: 100% Chardonnay Vineyard Sources: 100% Estate Spring Mountain KEENAN WINERY • P.O.

  • 2019 Nice Rosé Info Sheet
    Nice Winery 2019 Rosé of Pinot Noir Benefitting Emma Jacobs Breast Cancer Foundation Russian River Valley, Sonoma County About the Wine: How many wines get made as a result of a long night of drinking and a brazen challenge? A few years ago while enjoying a few bottles of wine, our dear friend and wine club member, Emma Jacobs, issued a challenge. Emma, a breast cancer survivor, has dedicated her life to raising money to find a cure for breast cancer. Through her foundation, Taking Initiative To Survive (T.I.T.S.), Emma raises thousands of dollars each year for research at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. She challenged us to make a better Rosé than the one she was selling for her charity, and to donate all the proceeds to research. Never to be outdone, we picked up the gauntlet and ran with it. We turned to our friend Sean Capiaux, famed for producing award winning single-vineyard bottlings of Pinot Noir, to make this Rosé with us. We released our first vintage of our Nice Rosé of Pinot Noir in 2012. Seven years later, we are proud to release another new vintage of this spectacular Rosé. Our Nice Rosé perfectly blends the fruit forward style of California with the dry minerality of an ideal French, Provence rosé. It makes a great pairing with pork, poultry and seafood. It should be served chilled, like white wine, and is lovely to sip all by itself on these hot summer days. All of the proceeds will benefit Emma's Foundation for breast cancer research.

  • Partnership Opportunities for Lake-Friendly Living Service Providers NH LAKES Lakesmart Program
    Partnership Opportunities for Lake-Friendly Living Service Providers NH LAKES LakeSmart Program Only with YOUR help will New Hampshire’s lakes remain clean and healthy, now and in the future. The health of our lakes, and our enjoyment of these irreplaceable natural resources, is at risk. Polluted runoff water from the landscape is washing into our lakes, causing toxic algal blooms that make swimming in lakes unsafe. Failing septic systems and animal waste washed off the land are contributing bacteria to our lakes that can make people and pets who swim in the water sick. Toxic products used in the home, on lawns, and on roadways and driveways are also reaching our lakes, poisoning the water in some areas to the point where fish and other aquatic life cannot survive. NH LAKES has found that most property owners don’t know how their actions affect the health of lakes. We’ve also found that property owners want to do the right thing to help keep the lakes they enjoy clean and healthy and that they often need help of professional service providers like YOU! What is LakeSmart? The LakeSmart program is an education, evaluation, and recognition program that inspires property owners to live in a lake- friendly way, keeping our lakes clean and healthy. The program is free, voluntary, and non-regulatory. Through a confidential evaluation process, property owners receive tailored recommendations about how to implement lake-friendly living practices year-round in their home, on their property, and along and on the lake. Property owners have access to a directory of lake- friendly living service providers to help them adopt lake-friendly living practices.

  • Cheese Making Sources: One-Hour Cheese by Claudia Lucero; Edgewood Creamery Website; Science.Howstuffworks.Com;
    The Basic Science (It’s Magic!) Behind Cheese Making Sources: One-Hour Cheese by Claudia Lucero; Edgewood Creamery website; Science.HowStuffWorks.Com; Instructional video available on Driftwood Public Library’s new YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OY39X-eSLLI&t=144s “Cheesemaking is the controlled process of removing water from milk. This process concentrates the milk’s protein, fat and other nutrients and increases its shelf life. Cheesemaking is one of the earliest examples of biotechnology.” – Edgewood Creamery Like sourdough bread, making cheese is one of the earliest forms of microbiology. The transformation of milk into cheese is one of the most extraordinary of all human discoveries. No one knows exactly when, but it is believed to have happened at about the same time as the domestication of animals such as goats in the fertile crescent region of the Middle East, around 6,000-7,000BC. It is unknown when the first cheese was made, but the legend goes that a nomad was carrying milk in a pouch made of a calf’s stomach lining. Over time (and at the right temperature) the milk fermented. Not wanting to waste the chunky milk, the nomad tried it and liked it. This legend about the first cheese is not unlike that of the first sourdough leavened bread. The components of Cheese: Milk: Made up of water, fats, proteins, bacteria, lactose (a sugar), minerals and more. Unpasteurized milk also contains the enzyme lactase, which helps you digest milk. Salt: Besides adding flavor, “salt is also a great preservative and, under the right conditions, can help turn a previously highly perishable substance (milk) into a stable cheese that doesn’t require regular refrigeration.” Note: When making one-hour cheese, we only use salt for flavor and to control the amount of whey we leave in the curds for texture.
