Gianelli Vineyards is a fairly new winery. They planted their first vineyard in 2003 in the Sierea Foothills, just a few miles from where Bryann grew up. They specialize in Italian varietals and are gaining some awesome recognition in the wine world.
Bryann and I walked out of there with an entire case of wine (we're keeping 5 bottles all to ourselves) so you KNOW it's gonna be good! For our April party, we're taking inspiration from Annie and Aaron's December party and are going to put on an Italian themed dinner and slow down the wine tasting experience a bit. This will also be the first party to feature only one winery.
Here's a little teaser of what we'll be featuring.
2009 Vermentino
2009 Fiano
2009 Nino (a blend of Grenache, Primitivo, and Petit Syrah)
2009 Petit Syrah
2008 Sangiovese
2009 Barbara
2009 Aglianico
2010 Malvasia "La Dolce Vita" (desert wine)
OMG I'm soooooo excited to share these with everyone!!
