So, we’ve heard about Booker and have tried to get in to taste there in the past, but they’ve been closed.\u00a0 Not closed for silly reasons, closed because they’re out of wine!\u00a0 They make 1500 cases of 100% Estate wine a year, and due to the high demand for it, they sell out quickly each year!\u00a0 We got lucky and made it in to the tasting room to try all 7 of their open wines.<\/p>\n
They had an unfiltered “Pink” that was really good..almost chewy!\u00a0 There was also a White Rhone blend fermented to dryness in concrete tanks that we both enjoyed, and then on to the reds.\u00a0 A couple of blends that were good, then 2 vintages of their Fracture which is 100% Syrah.\u00a0 Now, the grand finale:\u00a0 Ripper!\u00a0 A 100% Grenache that we both fell in love with for it’s delicious funk and wonderful fruit!<\/p>\n
Their tasting room is just off 46 West on Anderson Road, tucked into rolling hills of vineyards with cool views in every direction.\u00a0 They were processing grapes while we were there and we got to talk with the lovely Addie, who is the aspiring Assistant Winemaker, and very capable Tasting Room Manager.\u00a0 She had been running between the sorting table and the tasting room all day and was doing a great job!\u00a0 Give them a call and get in to try their wines and chat with the friendly people!\u00a0 You’ll be glad you did, as the overall experience is a great one!\u00a0 Great wines, great people, great site!<\/p>\n
