July 2015 - Quixote’s Quest Comes West to Rest

Picture
Don Quixote’s five hundred years gone
Still his spirit strides valiantly on
You can find him in our cellar
A little odd, but a gentle feller
 
And…he really likes Primitivo

We’ll be Featuring New Tastes

Pinot Noir 2009 Reserve

The original was double gold…this one goes way beyond

Remember our 30-30 Specials
 
To celebrate Salamandre’s Thirtieth Anniversary
At each invitational tasting in 2015
We’ll offer a different one of our premier wines at a 30% discount

Corks, Forks, and Storks
 
An Iberian Pilgrimage
 
Salamanca to Santander
Crept intrepid Salamandres
Jack and Renée culinary legends
Wells and Sandie of grape intentions
 
Escaped the bustle of Madrid
Found green pastures of La Vid
Tilted windmills in La Mancha
Set those monsters on their haunches
 
Nesting storks on every steeple
Castles, poppies, clever people
Fortifications from ancient times
Thousands of hectares of head-pruned vines
 
Ribera del Duero limestone laced
Tempranillo budbreak full apace
Rioja highlands arduously terraced
New wines rival the best and the rarest
 
We flew so far the wine path to roam
All the names sound just like home
We brought some ideas for Salamandre to try
In the winery on Don Carlos Drive

Hope you can join us.
We have glasses.
No windmills here.
Bring your faithful companion, but leave your lance at home.

Sometimes it’s the destination, not the journey, that counts in life.
Our trees are magnificent, the wines delightful, and the hospitality superb.
However, your phone may not work in our canyon.
You really don’t want to spend a day exploring this curvy road.

If this is your first visit, please view the directions so you don’t spend time wandering in our hills instead of tasting our wines.
