While the Rhône Ranger were pouring grenache next door, Jeff Emery—one of the stellar grenache makers in the region—was busily forklifting grapes for his 2012 vintages, from truck to cellar.
Those are Jeff’s just picked Santa Cruz Mountain Vineyard grapes posing for this week’s masthead at the top of my web column.
And, for the record, my current house red is Bonny Doon Vineyard’s Clos de Gilroy, containing 75% grenache grapes. Killer and affordable.
