On the private road to Iron Horse Vineyards. It continues for a few miles.

The Wine of Presidents, Kings, Queens...and Now the Pope.
We visited Iron Horse Ranch and Vineyards on Friday, August 29, 2008 around 10:30 AM.

Iron Horse is located in Green Valley in the coolest, foggiest part of the Russian River Valley, just 13 miles from the Pacific as the crow flies. There are approximately 160 acres in vine, planted exclusively to Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.

Iron Horse is a marriage of two vineyards: the Sterling family estate in Sonoma County's cool, foggy Green Valley and son-in-law Forrest Tancer's T-bar-T Ranch in the Alexander Valley. The winery is best known for its Sparkling Wines, which have been served at the White House for four consecutive presidential administrations. Pinot Noir is the winery's rising star wine. One of its most highly allocated releases is the Cabernet Sauvignon from T-bar-T.
The Iron Horse name comes from a passenger train that passed through the Green Valley in 1905.

Forrest Tancer planted the core 110 acres at Iron Horse in 1970 when he was working for Rodney Strong.
Audrey and Barry Sterling bought the vineyard in 1976 and partnered with Forrest to build the winery. Forrest and the Sterling's daughter Joy were married in 1990. The Wedding Cuvee was originally designed for Joy and Forrest's wedding and this elegant sparkling wine is still produced today. It was toasted for Jenna Bush's wedding on May 10th, 2008, for the daughter of president George W. Bush.

Vineyards along the private road to Iron Horse Winery.

Iron Horse has now been served at the White house for four consecutive presidential administrations, beginning in 1985 with the historic Reagan/Gorbachev Summit Meetings, which ended the Cold War. The first Bush administration served our Sparklings at several State Dinners and brought our Classic Vintage Brut to Moscow for the signing of the START treaty. The Clintons chose Iron Horse for many occasions-most impressively for the offical White House Millenium Dinner New Year's Eve 1999 to toast the new Millennium. Iron Horse was served at the 200th anniversary of the White House attended by all of the living presidents except Ronald Reagan. He was too ill to travel at that time. It has been served to kings, queens, and the Pope on their visits to the White house.

They offer a 30 minute wine tour from 10:30 AM on Monday to Friday by appointment. We called a day before, but it was fully booked. When we visited the winery around 10:30 AM, about 6 people started wine tasting after the wine tour. It seems the wine tour is limited to 6 people each day---very limited.

The wine tasting is $10 for Sparkling Flight (5 sparkling wine) and Seasonal Flight (5 still wine).
It's $15 for Reserved Flight ( 5 reserved and rear wine ). We tasted Reserved Flight. The reserved wine can only be purchased after you become a wine club member of Iron Horse Vineyards. Among the 5 wine we tasted, we liked the 4th wine, 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon, T-bar-T Vineyrads, Alexander Valley, 1.5 Liter. It costs $120 per bottle.

We purchased Iron Horse 2003 Estate Chardonnay and 2005 Russian Cuvee Sparkling wine, a bottle each.

You need to go though a narrow private road for several miles to get to this winery, so commercial big buses cannot get there. You need to travel in a small to mid size car.

Lately it is extremely difficult to get Iron Horse T-bar-T Cabernet Sauvignon wine, but Iron Horse sparkling wine can be purchased on their website and other wine websites. Actually their sparkling wine has been served at the state dinner at the White house.
Cheers and enjoy their sparkling wine. It's around $33 per bottle.

Geyser Peak Allexander Valley Merlot Wine 2005


We tried Geyser Peak Alexander Valley 2005 Merlot wine three nights ago at a dinner.

It was named "Best U.S Wine Producer" along with 5 Gold medals at The International Wine & Spirit Competition (IWSC), the premier competition of its kind in the world in October 2003 in London, U.K.

The "Best U.S.Wine Producer" title is one of a series of honors that IWSC bestows each year to comment the achievements of those companies or individuals who "set the standards of excellence for the rest of the industry to follow and [who] influence the quality, variety, value, and educational information available to the wine and spirit consumer, " according to IWSC.

Founded in Alexander Valley in 1880, Geyser Peak Winery is one of the oldest wineries in its region. Remarkable in its diversity, Alexander Valley boasts an unusual mosaic of soil types, climates and topography.

The Alexander valley is home to more than 40 wineries and located at the north end of Sonoma County, California. It is North East of Napa Valley. It is 22 miles in length and varies in width from two to seven miles. The valley is approximately 76,900 acres, with more than 15,000 currently planted to premium wine grapes.

I am a big fan of red wines produced in Alexander Valley, because all wines I tried were excellent.
Merlot do particularly well in this region, due to the warm daytime temperatures and cool, fog-covered nights and mornings.

This wine is a fruit-driven style, typical of Geyser Peak Merlot, with lifted red cherry, raspberry and cola aromas complemented by hints of spice, tobacco, cedar and oak. The flavors are bright and lively with juicy cherry and plum fruit and plush, velvety tannins on the finish.

This Merlot wine is sold at $18. You might find discounted bottles at super markets or on on-line discounted shops.

Hess Allomi Cabernet Sauvinon 2004 Napa Valley ( Click Left for a home page link. )

HS 828

Hess Allomi Vineyard Cabernet Savinon--Hess Collection ( Click Here)


Last night I tried 2004 Hess Allomi Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon wine that a friend gave me.
It went well with Spicy Italian Pasta with Tomato Sauce.

First you will notice hickory flabor. It tastes smooth and full bodied.
Cinnamon, Plum, and Cherry flavors ringer on a tang. You do not get tired of this wine.

It is around $25 per bottle. It received 90 points.

It is made in Allomi Valley, Nappa Valley, California at 770-950 feet above sea level elevation.
The valley has an exposure to Southwest of a mountain. It's considered as the ideal location to grow Cabernet Sauvignon grapes.

Their wine tasting is open from 10 to 5 daily.
For those, who cannot physically visit the winery, they offer web tasting for wine varieties.

This Allomi Cabernet Sauvignon wine is listed at the 3rd from the top on the web site.
The wine maker, Dave Guffy explains about the location, climate, and conditions of this winery, as well as the taste of this wine in a video clip, about 2 minutes 52 seconds.

This winery is also famous as an art collector. They exhibit art collections of 45 years of art works from American, Europe, Africa, and Asia since 1960 at the Art Gallery.
The Art Gallery is open from 10 to 4:45 daily.

Winemaker Notes:
89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petit Verdot, 3% Merlot, and 3% Malbec.

Tasting Notes:
Notes of toffee, vanilla bean and hickory on the nose which lead into black cherry, pomegranate and black licorice onthe palate. Seamless tannins flow through the mid palate
and then dovetail into a dark chocolate finish.

After visiting L.A.Cetto winery,
the winery tour bus went to Casa Pedro Domecq Winery. This winery is the second largest in Mexico next to L.A.Cetto winery. This winery makes brandies, tequilas, cognacs, whiskies, vodkas, and etc.

This winery was started by an Irish, Patrick Murphy, in 1730. Pierre de Domecq Lembeye, a French wine maker, continued from 1816. It was acquired by Grupo Allied-Domecq in 1972.

After a free winery tour with a guide, we enjoyed free tasting. I took photos of all wines and tequilas I tasted at this winery. I liked thier Padre Kino vino bianco table wine, the best. It's made of white muscat grapes. It was smooth and little sweet. I bought one bottle of it at $3.50. It came in a 1000 ml carafe. I wish I could have purchased more, but they did not have a delivery service to our cruise ship, and I did not want to carry heavy load. I wish to come back here by car and get lots of wines from here next time, since their wines are not sold in U.S.A.

For the optional tour at Ensenada, Mexico,
my friend and I selected a "Winery Tour" on Saturday, 4/19/2008. We were supposed to meet a tour guide at the pier, off the cruise ship, at 8:30 AM. 4 to 5 people came late, and the bus departed around 9 AM. The winery tour took us to L.A.Cetto Winery first. Their wines are sold at San Antonio Winery in downtown Los Angeles. It was found by an Italian wine maker, Don Angelo Cetto, in 1928.

To protect grape vineyards, olive trees were planted. The winery sells organic olives and olive oil as well, and they are tasty. Also to protect grape vineyards, they planted roses. The insects that eat grape vineyards attack roses first.

We enjoyed a free tour at the winery and wine tasting after the tour. Their Nebbiolo wine received most awards in Europe, so I purchased a bottle of that wine, a bottle of olive oil, and a bottle of olives.

I found this 2005 Alexander & Fitch cabernet sauvignon wine at Trader Joe's this evening at $5.99 plus tax. This 2005 cabernet sauvignon wine is very good. I would rate this at 90 points. It is smooth and full bodied wine with cherry and oak flavor. This wine is also mysterious. I don't find it at anywhere else. This was the first time I noticed this wine at Trader Joe's store, too. Alexander Valley has a long history of wine making since 1841, and its rich soil is suited for wine making. It is at the north tip of Sonoma County, California. I would recommend this wine to any cabernet wine lover. I will go back to Trader Joe's to get some more while the supply lasts.

I will attach a blog describing about this wine below. I could not find any website for this winery. The label does not show address and a home page of the winery, too. It's a mysterious wine.
