Wines: Eleven Eleven 2021 Chardonnay and 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon

What happens when a real estate investment guru switches lanes and heads for the vineyards? Today, we're sipping and savoring with Ellie Anest, co-founder and CEO of Eleven Eleven Wines, a visionary who used her finance and marketing prowess to break into the world of winemaking. Ellie takes us through her journey from big city real estate to the idyllic Oak Knoll AVA, revealing the inspiration behind her vineyard home and the unique concept of luxury rental properties offered by Eleven Eleven Wines. We’ll pop open two wines  from Eleven Eleven, including a tantalizing Chardonnay from the esteemed Dutton Ranch in Sonoma Valley.

We’re not just talking grapes and goblets today; we’re uncovering the rich narrative behind the Eleven Eleven wine brand in Napa Valley. Ellie shares Eleven Eleven's commitment to quality and excellence, focusing on single vineyard, small production wines. Find out the significance of the name Eleven Eleven and join us in a tasting session featuring the XI Cabernet Sauvignon, a robust blend of five Bordeaux varietals from the estate's original vineyard.

We cap things off with a journey into the heart of boutique wineries, where Ellie spills the secrets of Eleven Eleven's resilience amidst the turbulence and transformation brought about by COVID-19. Make your moment with us and Eleven Eleven Wines, and let the stories and flavors unfold.

Live from The Magnolia Wine Bar!  SWTW’s first live event was a smashing hit and this episode has 2 parts - our pregame interview with Weston Eidson and snippets of our live discussion with audience participation - in the wine tasting of course!  We’ll apologize in advance for the background noise!

When winemaker Weston Eidson lets Mother Nature play leading lady in his wine styles for Montagu and Silver Ghost, popping the cork on his verticals is a delicious exploration.  In prepping for this episode, Charisse, Weston and Kristi searched high and low for the Silver Ghost 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon to round out our vertical tasting.  Not every plan comes together and we had to get creative!

• 2019 Silver Ghost was obviously a huge fan favorite - we couldn’t find any anywhere!
• 2020 fires in Napa were Mother Natures cruel way of testing Weston’s winemaking legacy as he scrapped his entire harvest rather than make smoke tainted wine

Never fear, we had the perfect solution!  2020 Montagu Pinot Noir, 2021 and 2022 Silver Ghost Cabs!  Not the typical vertical, but the wines led us down a fabulous path of exploration!  Stay tuned for a fun filled, informative chat followed by a whole lot of wine chatter!

Cheers and HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!

I recently hit the pavement for a couple of half marathons and 10Ks, while my buddy Trey spent a weekend at his winery enjoying a Fleetwood Mac tribute band. As we compare our different, yet equally incredible experiences, we find ourselves marveling at the transformative power of music and its impact on people of all ages. In this special episode of Let's Talk Vinyl, we discuss two songs from Pearl Jam's 2013 album, Lightning Bolt, while also delving into the world of wine and its intriguing marketing tactics.

Trey and I raise our glasses to a particular Cabernet Sauvignon that claims to be made for active people who prefer low sugar content. Is the marketing misleading, or is there truth to these health benefits? We discuss the technology behind cross flow filtration and even take a look at a video showcasing the wine's marketing strategies. And of course, we don't forget about our main attraction, Pearl Jam. We touch on the filtering process used in winemaking and its effect on taste and quality, and even share our dream bottles of wine at different budgets.

As we reminisce about our personal experiences with music, running, and parenting, we can't help but also discuss the passing of renowned poster artist Frank Kozik. We pay tribute to his memory by sharing some of our favorite encounters with him and his work. In addition, we explore Pearl Jam's 2013 album Lightning Bolt, discussing the songs "My Fathers Son" and "Pendulum," the bass-heavy sound, and the statement it makes. We wrap up by discussing the upcoming Pearl Jam tour with special guest Brad Laing, ticket situations, and set lengths, while also speculating about their future performances. Join us on this musical and vinicultural journey, and let's raise a toast to the power of music and wine!

If you are looking for a break from alcohol and are super curious about alcohol free wine, this is the episode for you! As we enter into 2023, many people will be interested in resetting their relationship with alcohol and participating in Dry January, but still want to be able to have a glass of their favorite drink. The question is - are any of those zero alcohol wines any good? We’ll help answer that question for you. We discuss how wines are dealcoholized, and we taste and review three different zero alcohol wines - a sparkling wine, a Sauvignon Blanc, and a Cabernet Sauvignon - from three different regions of the world that use different methods to remove alcohol to see if they are worth checking out. We also talk about why having alcohol free alternatives is a fun and thoughtful way to support friends and family who are not drinking alcohol any time of the year and for any type of occasion! Alcohol free wines reviewed in this episode: Freixenet Premium Sparkling Alcohol-Removed Wine, Giesen 0% New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, and 2021 Ariel Cabernet Sauvignon Premium Dealcoholized Wine.

Wines: 2019 Hall Terra Secca and 2019 Hall Jack's Masterpiece
Guest: Mike Reynolds, President of Hall Wines

What better way for us to become Hall Wine Ambassadors than to have the president, and founding winemaker, Mike Reynolds on to tell us about the company and share these two wines with us!

In the mid-90's, Craig and Kathryn Hall purchased property in Napa Valley with the intention of starting a winery. Soon after that, Kathryn was asked to represent the United States as ambassador to Austria by then President Bill Clinton. After serving for several years, the Halls returned to Napa Valley and set about establishing Hall Wines.

Our guest, Mike Reynolds, was hired as founding winemaker and eventually became President of Hall Wines. Known for their wide array of Napa Cabernet Sauvignon (they produce 18 cabs!) and the beautiful artwork not only on their labels but in their tasting room and operations offices, Hall represents the essence of Napa Valley wine country - from their farming rustic roots to the artistic expression that calls to  winemakers to the wines that allow the variances of the mountain and valley's terroir to shine through.

Listen today to learn about the 18 Cabernet Sauvignon offerings from Hall Wines, the specific two we tasted and how they can each be distinctly different from one another (they can!).
