Tasting Room 10th Anniversary Celebration 

September 1st 2012 we received the keys to the Tasting Room location at 9060 Graton Road. For 2 months during the harvest season as Mat worked at creating another incredible vintage of our wines, Barb was creating the space that we are celebrating 10 years of business. The best decision of our life.

November 3rd 2012 we opened the doors. Our very 1st customer had no idea that her cash purhase was our very 1st dollar and 1st customer. Still on display at the tasting bar.

40 of our beloved wine club members joined us to celebrate the momentous occasion with a 6 course dinner and many many large format wines all from the library.

                                                       

One of many traditions, the reception has a large wedge of cheese, this year one of the best local cheeses from Valley Ford, Estero Gold. 9.6 pound wheel.

                                    Cambozola and fig pizzettas and our 2017 Blanc de Noir. 

          

The emotional toast that included a scrap book of photos from the 10 year journey and the facts of  some of so many special occasions that include 3 weddings, 3 rehearsal dinners, babies and introductions of friendships and lifelong relationships!

1st sit down course, potato leek soup with a droplet of caviar paired with 2012 Chardonnay double magnum. For many the favorite course and pairing, especially Chardonnay lovers!

            

2nd course salad with avocado, pecans, vinaigrette with 2013 Chardonnay double magnum

                          

3rd course, butternut squash ravioli with 2013 Bohemian Vineyard from double magnum. Our 1st vintage producing Bohemian was 2012.

Main course and wine pairing - Osso Buco with 2009 Ruxton Pinot from a 5 litre bottle ( Imperial size ) The 1st of this size that Mat bottled and opened.

    

To complete the dinner a trio of mignardise was personally selected. Mat's favorite coconut macaroons, Barbs homemade peanut butter cookies and locally made chocolates from Fleur Savage. 

The after party included the magnum of 1985 port that was a wedding gift from Mat's bestie from MI.

     

Mat & Barb could not be more proud of the Paul Mathew Wine Club Family that keeps growing.

The relationships and enjoyment exchanged at the Dining Room tables at 9060 Graton Rd.

                                                   A perfect Tasting Room location to celebrate!

                                                      Cheers to you all for assisting in the success!
