Winemaker Notes
Yamhill Cuvée is named for the county where all of the Domaine Serene Estates are located. This signature blend includes grapes from the Dundee Hills, Eola-Amity Hills, and Yamhill-Carlton AVA's. It is consistent and approachable, with a textural profile that is vibrant, silky and persistent.
Domaine Serene Winery ( @DomaineSerene )
Ken and Grace Evenstad founded Domaine Serene Vineyards and Winery in 1989 when they purchased 42 acres of just-logged land in the Dundee Hills of Oregon and built a five-level, gravity flow winery to produce ultra-premium Pinot Noir. Today, Domaine Serene produces wines from six individual vineyard estates in the Willamette Valley planted exclusively to Pinot Noir and Chardonnay

Christi, Alex & The Angel's Share!
Christi & Alex are at it again! The glass are charged, the mikes are hot, and they are back in the PodStudio with Kevin the Studio Dog taking apart a wine and finding out what there is to love about it!
Originally "Somm-Thing To Drink About", Christi & Alex have changed the name to reflect their passion for getting great wines into people's glasses.
So pop in the earbuds, pull open a bottle, and let's Drink Something Amazing!
Winemaker Notes
Bright deep, dark red with a luminous purple core. Vibrant notes of blueberries over-layed with dried violet petals and gentle woody spices. Notes of primary blue fruits combined with licorice straps and a brilliantly fragrant floral overtone. Tannins are savoury and detailed.
TWO HANDS ( @TwoHandsWines )
The idea for Two Hands was born in 1999 when founders Michael and Richard decided it was time to make their own wine and market it on the world stage.
The original aim was, and still is, to make the best possible Shiraz-based wines from prized growing regions throughout Australia.
Quality without compromise is central to the Two Hands philosophy, driving all the decisions from fruit and oak selection to packaging and promotion. Two Hands works closely with its estate vineyards and band of growers to ensure the full potential of each vineyard is reached. They handle every parcel of fruit, however small, separately from crushing through to fermentation and oak maturation to ensure complexity and personality in the finished wines.

Christi, Alex & The Faustian Bargain!
Christi & Alex get into a bargain with the devil & taste wine from Napa Valley's Youngest AVA. (BTW- An "AVA" is an American Vinticultural Area- which is a geographically defined chunk of land used for growing grapes that has been defined as such because of it's special attributes. The soil, the sun, the elevation, the shape of the land- all of what makes the grapes grown there special.)
All of which part of what makes this wine it's own, unique thing! So pop in the earbuds, pull open a bottle, and let's Drink Something AMAZING!
Winemaker Notes
Aromas of fresh herbs, pungent cedar, and forest swirl in the glass with more delicate floral notes, black pepper, bittersweet chocolate, and crushed rock On the palate, a little brambly-vine quality clings to blackberry flavors, and warmly spiced dark plum is layered with fresh herbs for a lively, sweet-savory balance. Fine tannins yield satisfyingly rich, velvety textures, while vibrant acidity keeps you coming back for another sip.
Faust Winery ( @FaustWines )
At Faust, we seek to express the complexity of Cabernet Sauvignon and the diversity of the Napa Valley by sourcing from our estate vineyards in Coombsville and Rutherford as well as from small lots on Atlas Peak, Mount Veeder and Howell Mountain. The culmination of these exceptional appellations results in a prodigious expression of Cabernet Sauvignon.
