So if you’re a fan of California’s finest, keep an eye on this space for news. We would like to highlight 2 excellent bottles from this company.
BUMGARNER WINES
At HOFEX, we caught up with Brian Bumgarner, winemaker and owner of Bumgarner wines in El Dorado, California. Handmade in a very small batches, its prized ’05 Cabernet Sauvignon is a wine that is characteristic of the El Dorado appellation – a full dark cherry and cocoa aroma accompanied by smooth tannins, making it a great pair with any cuts of beef or lamb.
ROBLEDO WINES
Another wine worth mentioning is the 2006 Pinot Blanc from Robledo Family Winery. The Robledo family went from working at the vineyards to eventually owning 14 vineyards and producing its own estate wines. The 2006 Pinot Blanc we tasted was loaded with aromas of ripe melon and sweet honey with a light and crisp finish, a wine perfect for accompanying light cheeses and any chicken dishes.
