Santa Cruz Mountains Wine Tour - History in the Hills Sunday, April 22, 2007 SOLD OUT  Nestled
in the Santa Cruz Mountains a mere hour from San Francisco, is one of
California’s great winegrowing regions. These are the hillside slopes
where Paul Masson raised the bar for California winemaking a century
ago, and the home of Martin Ray, the legendary, mercurial wine pioneer
of the 1940s and 1950s. Today dozens of top-flight producers inhabit the
region. Besides their spectacular scenery, the Santa Cruz Mountains
enjoy some of the coolest vineyard sites among California wine regions,
perfect for intense Pinot Noir and dazzling Chardonnay; in warmer areas
of the appellation Cabernet is king.Join us and imprint this exciting area firmly on your personal wine map. We’ve arranged for some talking and tasting with three skilled and personable winemakers—Tony Craig of Savannah-Chanelle, Brian Caselden of Woodside Vineyards and Jeffrey Patterson of Mount Eden Vineyards, our hosts for the afternoon. Surrounded by land first planted by Ray, they will discuss the history of the area and the ins and outs of Santa Cruz micro-climates, then lead us through a tasting of their wines. Small nibbles for palate cleansing will be provided, but mainly food for thought. We suggest you make a day of it and, after the program, drop in on another winery or two and finish up with an early dinner at one of the fine restaurants in the surrounding area. A few thoughts to whet your appetites: Sent Sovi 14583 Big Basin Way, Saratoga, (408) 867-3110 Manresa 320 Village Lane, Los Gatos, (408) 354-4330 Forbes Mill Steakhouse 206 N.
