Starr Ranch Open House

What a beautiful setting they have at Starr Ranch!  Nestled back in the hills off Chimney Rock Road, they sit on the backside of a hill with a gorgeous, expansive view of some of their vineyards and the hills off in the distance.

Had a wonderful time at their “Open House” last night! I really enjoyed their Estate Grenache and Estate Syrah. Deodoro was also pouring, and his Syrah was very nice, not too spicy or tannic, but rather smooth.  His Cab was really good too, being very fruit forward.

Starr also had a great spread of hors d’ouevres, with a delicious pasta salad with sausage, some extremely tiny little prosciutto sandwiches (they were so tiny…think Spinal Tap but even smaller!).  They had these dried persimmons which melted in the mouth.  Then, Judy had made these cookies that were yummy!

Saw folks from Castoro, Barrel 27 and Rotta among others. Great time, kudos to Starr!

Til the next drop.
