Briceland Vineyards Thanksgiving Weekend Tasting & Open House (11/27/2009 - 11/28/2009)

This year's fall wine tasting at the winery will be on Friday and Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend from 1 to 5.  As we did last spring, we will be preparing paella outdoors for our guest to sample while wine tasting, along with other tasty fare.   The Paella was a big hit at the spring tasting.  If you want to catch it this time, it will be served at about 2 o'clock.

At this fall's tasting we will showcase five new releases.  the white wines include the aromatic 2008 Humboldt Sauvignon Blanc (Best White Wine from Humboldt County Grapes at the County Fair), the crisp 2008 Arneis from Mendocino County, and two newly released sparkling wines:  a fresh lively and aromatic Humboldt Brut, and a rare Brut Rose of Pinot Noir.  Two new red wines include the 07 Fruitland Ridge Vineyard Pinot Noir, and the newly bottled Lake County Syrah.

BRICELAND VINEYARDS is located west of Redway on the road to Shelter Cove.

Established in 1985 by winemaker Joe Collins, Maggie Carey, and Lee & Jack Maguire, they specialize in the production of wines from grapes grown in Humboldt County without the use of pesticides, herbicides or synthetic fertilizers.

The cool, southern Humboldt County climate is especially well-suited for growing Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay, and Briceland also produces two Italian varietals, Arneis and Nebbiolo.



Directions: Follow Briceland Road out of Redway for 6 miles. Look for winery sign on right hand side of the road.
