If you’re familiar with Foxen<\/a>, then you probably know that they’re located in the Santa Maria Valley<\/a> Wine region, and also that they were one of the wineries shown in the movie “Sideways”.\u00a0 They’ve got a pretty long history in the SM Valley…and it just happens to be the first wine club that Annie ever joined.<\/p>\n

Foxen makes some seriously beautiful wines, they do\/have done just about everything.\u00a0 There’s Italian varietals, Bordeaux, Rhones, and umm…other stuff that’s really tasty.\u00a0 They’ve taken advantage of the SM Valley climate with its foggy mornings and cool nights, to make some great Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.\u00a0 They’ve also taken advantage of the area vineyards to make some really interesting blends and some not-so-common bottles of wine, ranging from Sangiovese to Cabernet Sauvignon to Chenin Blanc.<\/p>\n

So, much of the draw to Foxen is their down to earth charm.\u00a0 The original tasting room is literally on the side of a winding country road in an old wooden shack!\u00a0 They’ve since built another tasting room just down the road, but will never abandon the “shack” because that’s what Foxen is all about!\u00a0 They’ve got a shrine in the shack, with all kinds of funky stuff that people have collected and shared through the years.<\/p>\n

There’s some newspaper articles posted around the place, charting the path to fame that the “Foxen Boys”, Dick Watham and Bill Dore have taken.\u00a0 This is one of the old school wine tasting places that has made its mark, and deserving of a visit if you’re ever in the area.\u00a0 Hey, it’s like they say….”If you don’t know Foxen, you don’t know Dick…or Bill!”<\/p>\n
