October 24^th

Exploring Small CA Wineries

Host: Judy Lebel

Best Year Ever Wines

Sit down wine tasting/education held in the Franklin Liquors wine room.

We will explore three small CA wineries.

The Wineries

Mountain View

From its inception in 1978, Mountain View has produced wines of superior quality. “Mom & Pop” vineyards are chosen from various regions throughout California that offer strong varietal character. Exceptional weather/climate/soil conditions set the stage for our terroir driven Amador County Zinfandel and Pinot Noir from Santa Maria Valley.

Ty Caton

20 years ago Ty Caton partnered with his parents to develop a 108 acre property in the renowned Mayacamas Mountain Range. Located adjacent to some world class vineyards and with an array of various soils, elevations, and sun exposures, it is a prime location for grape growing and now has its own prestigious appellation ~ Moon Mountain District. Only 40 acres of this certified sustainably farmed vineyard are planted to grapes. Ty learned to make wine from his friends, neighbors and practice. He strives for excellence and is an exceptional blender.

Fitch Mountain

Fitch Mountain Cellars started with 1 barrel made in a garage by Mike Duffy, a UC Davis Grad, Trefethen intern, and personal friend of wine guru Andre Tchelistcheff in 1984. Still handcrafted, our Merlot comes from a tiny, 4^th generation vineyard in Dry Creek. Reminiscent of the breakout style in the ’80’s, this velvety wine has layers of complexity.

About Judy

In 2010, Judy Lebel realized the best way to fulfill her passion for enjoying fine wine and great food with interesting people was to go out on her own. Best Year Ever Wine Agency specializes in small production, earth friendly, family wineries. She was trained by many of California’s winery founders and later worked for the Robert Mondavi and Beringer/Raymond families.

November 9^th

Exploring The Wines Of Copper Cane

Host: Sophie Daniels

A Sit down wine tasting/educational event held in the Franklin Liquors wine room.

Joseph Wagner is a fifth generation Napa Valley winemaker with a dedicated passion for the business. Joe’s roots in the winemaking began at an early age. His family founded Caymus Vineyards in Napa Valley.

In 2001 at age nineteen, he rolled up his sleeves and has yet to look back. His passion and natural talent for winemaking quickly became apparent after he started his own award-winning single vineyard Pinot Noir label, Belle Glos.

In January 2014, Joe formed Copper Cane Wine & Provisions, with the goal of focusing on innovations that have always captured his interest, and to find new ways to offer the highest quality products that satisfy consumers’ appetites for genuine craftsmanship.

We will explore sparkling, Pinot Noirs, Blends And Cabernet Sauvignon

About Sophie

With a passion for food and wine, Miss Daniels found herself drawn to the beauty and bounty of food and wine at an early age. What began as cooking for friends and family at the age of 7 eventually progressed into working for fine dinning establishments and highly regarded catering companies in Boston in the early nineteen nineties.

Attracted more and more to the art of superb wine and food pairings, Sophie was given the opportunity to focus on wine sales while working for a prominent Massachusetts distributor in 2001.

Beginning in 2004 and up until today, Sophie Daniels has had the unique opportunity to explore the world, expanding her wine horizons, while representing domestic and imported wineries from a dozen different countries.

Today, more passionate than ever, she now travels throughout New England as the Regional Sales Manager for Copper Cane Wine & Provisions, educating consumers, motivating sales people and sharing her love of great food and wine with consumers through lectures, trade tastings and wine dinners.
