Stargazing may seem a bit like a romantic past time, but it’s a great theme for a evening event if, like us you’re out where few city lights impede the breathtaking views of the skies on a September night above the vineyards.
Last year we had our 1st annual Stargazer’s Winemaker Dinner at the estate. It was a great evening of a delectable 4 course meal with stellar (no pun intended) wines we specially selected for the event. After dinner we headed out for a walk out onto the moon and starlit estate and in the vineyards with our trained astronomer host, Mike Brunson-our winemaker, and Jacques Schlumberger. The skies were something unbelievable to behold out in such a remote location. We pointed out constellations, caught multiple shooting stars whizzing by, and enjoyed the rare quiet calmness that comes in the evening after everyone has left the winery for the day.
People liked the event so much last year-we decided to make it an annual event. Saturday, Sept 27th is the date this month. We’ll be meeting in the winery courtyard at 6pm for wines, appetizers, and conversation. Our winemaker will be there, wearing his usual gleeful and mischievous grin and happy to answer everyone’s questions about this year’s harvest with his usual eloquence, patience, and humor. Anyone who’d like to join us or to find out more can give me a call (707)433-7427. You don’t even have to have a date-just bring yourself. Juliana, Mike & I will keep you company!
