Review from Lisa A.
San Francisco, CA
10/25/2006
Fellow Yelpers, I am happy now. Nay, I am purely content as only a person who has been blessed with true satisfaction can be. Why, you may ask, am I in such a blissful state? Why am I moved to such rhapsody? I'll tell you...Ehrhardt Estate's 2004 Late Harvest Marie. Sigh. No. Make that, Double Sigh. Now, I'll tell you right now that I'm not buzzed (yet) and that I'd still be waxing poetic if I was sipping on their award-winning 2004 Chenin Blanc, their award-winning 2001 Chenin Blanc, or their (also award-winning) 2003 Petite Sirah. These people know how to make wine! Wine that even a neophyte like myself can and will appreciate.
That's impressive because frankly, I am not a "wine person". Oh, I know how to swirl it around to check it's "legs". I can sip and spit with the best of them. I saw that buddy-road-trip wine movie - twice. I'm telling you, that means nothing because I will always choose Gin & Tonic with Extra Lime any day over a glass of vino --- that is unless the glass you're passing to me contains some of Ehrhardt Estate's soul affirming elixir. Damn! This is some good stuff!
The Herzog family has been growing the best California grapes in our nearby Delta region for many the generation and have been bottling their own since 2001. From what I've heard, they're working on building a tasting room and eventually opening their own Winery, which will be available for renting out for private functions. I'm thinking that I might want to have another Bat-Mitzvah when they do. In the meantime, I'm ordering online (http://www.ehrhardtest...) or getting it at nearby D & M Wine & Spirits (San Francisco) or K & L Wine Merchants (Redwood City and San Francisco). Take my advice and do so yourself. You will not regret it. Cheers!
***********UPDATE***********
Ehrhardt Estates has added a Merlot and Chardonnay to their offerings! I've sampled both (liberally) and they're both superb. A port is on the way. I had a sample last week and I about fainted from the ecstasy. I'm already on the waiting list to get one of the first bottles.Listed in: Born to Shop
