We opened it on our niece’s 21st birthday celebration dinner and the wine was as memorable as the celebration itself. Everyone loved it who tried it even picky me.įor me, when talking about Vezer wines, I would describe most of their wines as “cellar wines”. What I mean by that is that they really benefit by being put away for a few years to mature. They age just beautifully giving you a wine that truly shines. Maybe they don’t have the Napa name on them, but they can contend with the big boys given a few years below their belt. We haven’t, for various reasons, been to Vezer recently. So we are excited to go and have a fresh tasting of what is in their current list so we can talk about what’s new over there.Vezer Family Vineyard is at the epicenter of the wine revolution going on right now in the heart of the Suisun Valley in Solano County. Many people don't even know that this region of wine growing even exists so it's nice to discover hidden gems in the Bay Area. A true definition of what a staycation is supposed to be all about. This is one of two tasting rooms in the valley owned by Vezer that the public can come to try their wines. It's easy to get them confused, as this one is called the Mankas Corner Tasting Room because it's literally on the corner of Mankas Corner Road, the other is called the Blue Victorian (home to said blue house) and it's just up the street along Suisun Valley Road. I had only peripherally heard of this region before, but today my friends and I were given a front seat introduction to three of the wineries along the Suisun Valley Road exit off of Interstate 80. Vezer's wines are all aromatic, sweet and bold, with a combination of flavors of from fruits such as berries, cranberries, bing cherries and strawberries. You can't go wrong with a flavor profile like that. They seem to specialize in reds at Vezer, as five of our pours for our tasting were all lovely deep colored reds. The tastings included the one white the 2014 Estate Verdelho, as well as the 2013 Cabernet Franc, 2013 Estate Zinfandel, 2011 La Salette, and the 2012 Estate Black Muscat- Franci. What kept the flavors of each of the wines so strong was we were treated to specialty crackers that cleansed your palette in between wine sips. Who knew this even existed? But I loved them as well as the salty almonds that came with them. Tre Posti Vineyard, Garden Grove & Harvest Room, St.I really loved the La Salette wine at Vezer, which is a unique combination of wines, petite sirah and zinfandel, and at 90 dollars a bottle was a real treat, and it's a wine that deliberately ages well, so expect me to pick that one in the near future.
