Long time Nevada City Winery friends will remember Solaire from the 2000 vintage. Solaire was our name for a lip-smackingly delicious blend of traditional red Rhone varietals. This version is a blend of 56% Syrah, 34% Mourvedre and 10% Merlot from both the 2007 and 2008 vintages. It is a wonderful example of an engaging Rhone-style blend, loaded with aromas of pepper, smoke and plums. But discover it for yourself on March 20th. There will be a treat or two to nibble on as well.

Chad draws inspiration for some of his works from the faded images he finds in old cookbooks. He works primarily in oil because he likes its thick and creamy texture. He has a very 1950s, retro-Americana look about his works because he says, "I want to capture the details of an imaginary, sugary sweet and glossy era gone by. But there is also an underlying theme of American overindulgence." Stop by and enjoy the show!

Chad's work will be on display throughout the month of March.

A rich and flavorful blend of Cabernet, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc result in a wine offering classic Cabernet flavors. This is varietally spot-on, with aromas of black currants, green herbs and fine-grained tannins. It's a lovely Cabernet.
