A Fine Deal on Fine Wine

During today's hike on Wolf Ridge, Dick mentioned that Castle Vineyards (which is in the process of changing its name to Anaba and opening a new tasting room on May 1st at the intersection of Highway 121 and Arnold Drive near the Town of Sonoma) is selling off its inventory of Castle-labeled wines for $7-$13 (most go for $10/bottle) compared to original retail prices in the $22-$32/bottle range. (On a hot day like today, a chilled bottle of their $6.99 Rose sounds good!). Most of this wine may be sold by the end of next week. For more information on the wines and prices, click here to review the order form. The tasting room phone number is (707) 996-1966, Ext. 106.

Castle's tasting room is currently located at 122 West Spain Street in Sonoma, next door to The Girl & The Fig bistro (one of Dick's favorite restaurants; open 11:30 am-10:00 pm daily, and until 11 pm Friday and Saturday). Castle Vineyards wines were previously featured on that restaurant's wine list; the new Anaba 2007 Sonoma Valley "Coriol", a white wine made from a blend of Rhone-style grapes, is now being offered by G&TF.
