Pinotage is "ultimate expression"

Quote of the month:


"If the focus of the winery is to delve in Burgundy and Rhone style grapes then I think the ultimate expression of that is to have Pinotage in the flavor mix. This coming spring we’ll release our first Pinotage".

Phil Crews, owner of Pelican Ranch Winery in Santa Cruz, California, interviewed by Ken Payton at Reign of Terroir

    Pelican Ranch Winery's Pinotage won a gold medal at an August tasting held by the Santa Cruz Mountains Winegrowers Assoc. The grapes were sourced from the same Lodi vineyard, Vino Con Brio, you reference in a July post. Mike Matson is clearly on to something!
