The Time and Date: Monday June 7 2010, 3PM to 4:30 PM
The Event: Hendry Ranch, Napa Valley, tasting, repped by Artisanal Wine
Imports.
The Venue: Fine Wine Reserve, King Street
The Target Audience: wine media, private clients.
The Availability/Catalogue: Most wines were available for immediate
delivery through the Consignment Program.
The Quote/Background: Located in the south western part of the Napa,
the vineyards have been farmed by the Hendry family since 1939 (vines
had been first planted here since about 1870). The production had been
sold to other labels such as Opus One and Mondavi, but over the past
few years, the family has marketed their own brand of wines. The
vineyards have been divided into 50 blocks, ensuring scrupulous record-
taking and blending.
The Wines: We began with a rinse-bouche of Champagne! Prices are
retail.
