A little history behind our new ports!
In 2010 Sierra Vista made its first fortified wines from Grenache and Syrah. The process was patterned after the wines of Banyuls, a town in the Southwest of France. The wine made there is a Grenache-based fortified wine that has been made since the thirteenth century. We allowed both wines to ferment to about 7% alcohol and added 190% spirits made from wine. This yields a sweet wine that is a classic companion to semi-sweet or dark chocolate as well as other rich desserts. While rich and full-bodied, it is less sweet and more delicate than vintage port. The wines are named for the port styles John thinks the wines resemble: Tawnie Grenache and Rubie Syrah.
March 10th — Wine Club Lunch
We will be hosting the spring Wine Club order “pick-up” party. Come meet your fellow Wine Club enthusiasts and enjoy some delicious eats and drinks. We will pour a selection of aged Fleur de Montagne wines for your enjoyment.

Beautiful belly dancers will be performing at 12, 2, and 4 so don’t miss out! We will tantalize your taste buds with futures tastings and tempt you with Passport specials.

You be the judge and put your skills to the test. We will have three different syrah clones for you to evaluate for aromas and flavors. Next you’ll compare the individual clone syrah to the composite blend of the clones. Let’s see how your sniffer and palate compete with ours!
