Our 2012 Russian River Chardonnay sold out last month, though you may still be able to catch a glass at 123 Bolinas while it lasts! Our 2013 Russian River Chardonnay will be released this summer — there is still time to join our Summer Whites wine club to be among the first to receive two bottles of this crisp, refreshing Chardonnay. We did not make much of this wild ferment Chard, and we expect this vintage to be sold out by the new year. Note we will be pouring early tastes of the 2013 at a special event June 5th at 7 on Locust in Mill Valley, June 21st at Pinot Days in San Francisco, and June 22nd at CUESA’s Summer Celebration.

We’re pleased as punch to announce that Wait Cellars’ limited-production Pinot Noir is now available by the bottle at the Ferry Plaza Wine Merchant (FPWM), in San Francisco’s historic Ferry Building. Those who have watched the Ferry Building’s transformation over this past decade know that it is now ground zero for locavore’s looking for beautiful, locally produced fruit, vegetables, meat, bread, cheese, and yes, wine! If you haven’t been, the FPWM is a lovely shop with a huge, eclectic selection of wines, as well as a popular and comfortable wine bar where you can sample ever-changing wines. The FPWM is currently carrying our 2007 Russian River Pinot Noir. Do stop by and let them know you’re happy they’re supporting local very limited-production winemaking; and if you buy a bottle, I suggest pairing it with some braising greens and sweet pork sausage from the farmer’s market — delicious!

Wait Cellars was pleased to pour this past weekend at the Soiree Des Arts et Des Vins just down the block in Hayes Valley, helping raise funds for a local school raising “global citizens.” Attendees also showed their exquisite taste in wine :). Out of more than 100 wines available, the Wait Cellars 2007 Russian River Pinot Noir was the best-selling wine! Many thanks to Kelly Zeissner for her stewardship at our table, and to Foggy Bridge for being such a kind table-mate.

Here’s a (crappy phone) shot of our half-table at this past weekend’s SF Vintner’s Market at Fort Mason. Good times! Ton of people moving through the place on Saturday and Sunday, met a lot of nice folks. People loved the Pinots, at least while I was within earshot…. Here’s a shot of my view on Saturday. An intimate airplane hangar…. Here’s a shot of Raquel at the table, who helped out Saturday afternoon to much applause! The 2007 was dark and delicious, though next time I think I’ll decant — it was missing some of its more delicate notes. The 2008 was showing very well for a “pre-release” — many folks found it more approachable than the 2007 (which I find brooding, more complex). The 08 struck nice lean, bright dark-cherry and toasty cola notes with agreeable weight mid-palate. We sold a number of bottles. Both 07 and 08 are young; they’ll continue to get better in the bottle for the next 3 to 5 years; the 07 likely longer, which I think will be a very special wine if I can just stop drinking it now… Thanks to Rob Barnett and the SFWA for helping process our orders. And […]
