Explored….Kistler Vineyards

Posted on May 31, 2012 by

If we have been quiet lately and we have a good reason. We are in Napa and Sonoma at the present moment, exploring some of Napa and Sonoma’s finest with some good friends and California wine collectors in Singapore. We could ask for a more excellent start then at Kistler Vineyards. We saw the beautilful rolling hills of Chardonnay vines in VIne Hill, with some vines as old as 20 years old. We got to know how they took such care in making Chardonnay and tasted an excellent example. We will post more pictures over the weekend while we are here.
Enjoy!

Wine Enthusiast 30 under $30 Cab_Napa Station

We took on this label early this year because we felt that good Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon does not need to cost an arm or a leg. Napa Station is an excellent example. We have the reviewed vintage available in stock. Below is another review and a special offer for your consideration:

Conscientious Wines from A Conscientious Winery

Posted on April 6, 2012 by

I like Pinot Noir. It shows because I have more than 20 wineries in our portfolio and we sell Pinot Noirs from 7 of them. Robert Sinskey Vineyard is one of them, and have been since 2000. As far back as 1991, this winery took steps to earn the 100% Organic and Biodynamic certification for the winegrowing operation for the 200 acres of premium vineyards in Carneros and Stag Leap District of Napa and Sonoma Valley. The earth friendly methods didn’t compromising the well-crafted, luxiously elegrant and food friendly wine quality.

For this Easter weekend, I am reminded of the reasons that I like Robert Sinskey Pinot Noir. Not just for their wine quality, but for their conscientious contributions and efforts for the quality of our life.

If you like to give Robert Sinskey Pinot Noir a try, check out below:

Robert Sinskey 2008 Los Carneros PInot Noir: $55 nett/btl (UP: $79)

Starting up and in Progress

Posted on April 3, 2012 by

This blog site will be the Straits Cellars’ website. A location where you will find updates California portfolio of wine, promotions, wine related events, my comments and pictures of wines that I had the opportunity to savour their moments of excellence. Regardless of their price range.

This blog site will be a ”work in progress” till I completely figure out how to get it to work my way. I can’t figure out why it seems to be difficult for me. When it is done in a format that I am happy, I will proudly make an announcement here.
