My 1st guest this week is Laura Morris from Kayco Foods to talk about two unique and flavor-filled products.
Dorot Gardens Fresh Proportioned herbs and garlic.
Dorot Gardens brings to you this signature line of pre-portioned fresh garlic and herbs. “First, we start by growing our own garlic, basil, cilantro, parsley, chili and ginger. At peak freshness, we pull our products from the fields, process and flash freeze into our convenient trays within 90 minutes of harvest.” With a two year shelf life you can have fresh Garlic, Onions and Herbs year round with the simple “pop” of the tray. When we say “fresher than fresh” we mean it!

Good Life Guy’s Wines of the Week:
2019 William Harrison Chardonnay, Sangiacomo Vineyards, Los Carneros
Beginning with this vintage, we added the Sangiacomo family’s Southern Sonoma vineyard, which is planted with the coveted “Hyde Clone” of Chardonnay. Along with the Robert Young selection from Catarina Ranch, and the workhorse Clone 4 from their El Novillero vineyard, we are able to source a trifecta of beautiful fruit. Barrel fermented and aged in 30% new oak, this wine boasts classic aromas of lemon zest and pineapple up front, with a subtle nuance of creme brulee underneath. 50% malolactic fermentation gives this Chardonnay a slightly rounder texture, offsetting its naturally bright acidity. 350 cases produced!
2016 William Harrison Cabernet Franc, Rutherford Estate
Most vintages, our Cabernet Franc is 100% varietal. Grown on the westernmost block of the property, where a high percentage of decomposed volcanic ash gives the original Bear Creek loam a very light appearance, the fruit gives off aromas of black currant and Bing cherry, accompanied by Rutherford “dust”. Mineral and spice qualities that distinguish Cabernet Franc from the other Bordeaux varieties are also present, such as sage, graphite and wet stone. A mild hint of anise is layered in the background, lending a nice complexity. The mouthfeel is full and structured, securing a long life for this wine. 300 cases produced!
