As this week comes to a close, I’m looking forward to telling you more about Sonoma. This show will feature the wines of Handley Cellars with Co-Winemaker Randy Schock. According to founding winemaker and proprietor Milla Handley…
“Handley Cellars is a small family-owned winery in California’s Mendocino County. Bonded in 1982, we produce around 12,000 cases of wine a year. Our quality starts with our Estate Vineyards in Anderson Valley. We are located at the northwest end of the Anderson Valley on 59 acres of the original Holmes Ranch. Still standing on the property are the now-refurbished ranch house, barn, and the original water tower.
At Handley Cellars, we offer a wide variety of wines that complement today’s diverse cuisines. Winemaker Milla Handley seeks to make balanced wines that possess distinctive varietal characteristics, wines that reflect the soil and climate in which they were grown.
Handley’s beautiful tasting room is located 6 miles northwest of Philo, California, on Highway 128. We offer tours by appointment, and our garden courtyard is open for picnics. Stop by to try our selections and, while visiting, enjoy our unique display of folk art collected from around the world.” www.handleycellars.com
Also be talking to the folks at Glen Star Restaurant, a small casual restaurant that is rocking the food world in the sleepy little town of Glen Ellen.
Established in 2012, Glen Ellen Star is the culmination of a decade-long dream by Chef Ari Weiswasser and his wife Erinn Benziger-Weiswasser. Resembling a quaint farmhouse while invoking a rural and rustic feeling of California wine country, Glen Ellen Star is a taste of both local and international flavors. It is the Weiswassers’ mission to create an inviting, neighborhood-friendly restaurant that consistently exceeds expectations. Ari has worked at New York’s Restaurant Daniel, Picholine, and Paul Liebrandt’s Corton, where he served as Chef de Cuisine. He also had a long stint at The French Laundry in Yountville, CA. www.glenellenstar.com
I’ll be talking to Kathleen Inman of Inman family winery. “Established in 2000 with the planting of our organically farmed Olivet Grange Vineyard, Inman Family Wines is the result of Kathleen Inman’s love of Pinot Noir and the soil that produces it. Kathleen is the winemaker and General Manager of Inman Family Wines and Olivet Grange Vineyard, or as she often says, “Grapegrower, winemaker, salesperson, accountant, and forklift driver.” The story of Inman Family Wines may be one of the most romantic in wine country.”
All that and so much more…
