For IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: BESPOKE COLLECTION www.bespokecollection.com [email protected] Bespoke Collection Wine Brands Launch 20L, Recyclable Keg Program to Wholesale Partners “Tap” into wines from Blackbird Vineyards, Ma(i)sonry Napa Valley and Recuerdo Wines NAPA VALLEY, CA, April 17, 2013 – Bespoke Collection has recently tapped into the innovative wine-keg movement by offering Blackbird Vineyards 2012 Arriviste Rosé and Ma(i)sonry Napa Valley 2012 Hudson Vineyard Sans Chêne Sauvignon Blanc in 20L, recyclable keg formats – and just in time for the spring and summer months. The 2012 Arriviste, a winsome, salmon red-colored rosé of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, displays enticing flavors of tart cherry, bright citrus and clean minerality. The 2012 San Chêne Sauvignon Blanc, sourced from the Hudson Vineyard in Carneros, offers aromas of ripe papaya and crisp lemon with a hint of vanilla. Both wines, stylistically designed to complement a kegged-wine program, were vinified by esteemed winemaker, Aaron Pott. The wine-on-tap movement, a growing trend in the United States wine industry, has solid roots in Europe where locals often save money and materials by filling their own vessels from wine barrels. In the states, kegged wines afford restaurant and wine bars upwards of 65 days of fresh product, compared to the two to three day shelf life of an opened bottle of wine – and they emerge avant-garde, cool doing it. Across the country, restaurants like Prospect in San Francisco, Second Bar + Kitchen in Austin and Two Urban Licks in Atlanta are embracing kegged wines as a modern and eco-friendly option for their wine programs. -

Winery of the Month
April 2020 WINERY OF THE MONTH ® RealReal Food. Food. Real Real People People..® OLIVER’S IS PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE SEBASTIANI VINEYARDS & WINERY AS THE WINERY OF THE MONTH FOR APRIL. Sebastiani’s first century in Sonoma winemaking began when Samuele Sebastiani emigrated from Italy in 1895 and started Sebastiani nine years later. A stonemason by trade, he quarry-mined the Sonoma hills for cobblestones that were used to build the streets of San Francisco. The winery was the only one in Sonoma County to continue operations through Prohibition, making a small amount of sacramental and medicinal wines. It has been joked, and perhaps with some grain of truth, that during this time there was a resurgence of people becoming very religious. Samuele believed in hard work and asked the same of everyone at the winery. At the same time, he was a strong supporter of the land and the people of Sonoma. When the combination of Prohibition and the Depression hit hard, Samuele initiated major projects at the winery to create employment for his neighbors. Shortly after Samuele’s death in 1944, his son, August, and August’s wife Sylvia purchased the winery from the estate and began the expansion of the facilities and the product line, adding new varietal wines and proprietary blends. August was recognized as one of America’s most skilled and innovative winemakers of the time. He respected the craftsmen of Sonoma and made use of their skills at the winery; the famous hand-carved Sebastiani barrels, which are still on display at the winery, were completed by Earle Brown in the late 1970s and early 1980s. -

Download Tasting Notes
Retail Savings $11.99 $19.00 37% 2012 Sebastiani Zinfandelproduct-timed-pdf - Sonoma County - "Great Value Zin" from a Winemaker of the Year Why We're Drinking It Cult wineries come and go, following the fickle whims of fashion. Workhouse wineries stick around, producing enjoyable wine without fuss or pretention, and garnering a loyal following while they’re at it. This Zin is from one such workhouse winery. And those who know this Zin from previous vintages have already hit the purchase button. We suggest you follow suit. It doesn’t take a wine connoisseur to recognize the Sebastiani name. This is as historic as it gets in American wine. Sebastiani was one of the first to plant roots in Sonoma County and holds the title as the only estate producing wine right through prohibition. We won’t tell! Their 2001 Zinfandel is a peppery, spicy, full-bodied red with a stick-to-your-ribs quality that disarms even the snootiest of wine drinkers. Out Tasting Panel was pleasantly surprised by the complexity here. Sure, there’s the telltale jammy, berry fruit and black pepper spice that defines Sonoma Zin, but there’s also more exotic notes of forest floor, campfire, huckleberry and earth. It’s a steal and a serious crowd pleaser. Reasons We Love It: The core of this wine comes from three of the best AVAs for this quintessential American grape: Dry Creek (benchland, terra rosa), Alexander (gravelly alluvial), and Russian River Valleys. The Petite Sirah blended with it comes mainly from Stanislaus County, which excels in Petite Sirah production.
