I Want One!

Too Soon

Wait. It’s only your first date. Do you really want to open one of these bottles of Nebbiolo now?

Sure, it’s been a wonderful evening. She’s intelligent. She’s clever. The dinner conversation was enchanting and never dull. It turns out you’ve got a lot in common, too, like a deep love for 18th century Russian literature, post-industrial minimalist electro-acoustic music, and kitties. The connection you felt on your romantic stroll along the beach under the moonlight was so strong you were able to gather up the courage to invite her in for a night cap. All good signs that a blissful relationship is about to begin.

But, dude, opening up one of your three bottles of 2008 Jacuzzi Nebbiolo may be going a little overboard, don’t you think?

Think about it: You’ve known this lady for what, four, maybe five hours? She’s “enchanting,” sure, but that doesn’t mean you’ve got to start whipping out your best stuff on your first date. Who knows? She could be playing some sick game with your mind to steal your comic book collection, or be an escort that your buddies paid to “date” you to keep you from complaining about how lonely you are.

Heck, this woman could have a jealous ex-boyfriend who slaughtered her family years ago, forcing her to go into hiding under a new identity in the Witness Protection Program until they catch him. IF they catch him, of course, and he hasn’t been stalking the two of you all evening, waiting for his chance to strike.

But you won’t know any of that stuff until at LEAST the third or fourth date. Do you really want to share the generous notes of pomegranate and crisp bright cherry of this California rarity with someone whose secret past might shatter the fragile bond you’ve just made? I think not.

Do yourself a favor: Grab a packet of drink mix from the cupboard, pour it into some white soda, and give her a glass of that. If she can stomach it AND agree to a second date, maybe this relationship will work out. But don’t go sharing your 2008 Jacuzzi Nebbiolo until you’re sure.

Winery Details

Jacuzzi Family Vineyards

Founded:
2008
Owners:
Fred and Nancy Cline
Location:
Sonoma, CA
The Jacuzzi trek to America started in 1907, when Valeriano and Francesco Jacuzzi, the second- and third-born sons of Giovanni and Teresa Jacuzzi, immigrated to Washington to work on the railroad. A warmer climate beckoned and the pair eventually made their way to southern California. Years later, they were joined by four other brothers and eventually all went to work in the aviation industry. Soon they would make American history.
 
In 1911 their father, Giovanni, a skilled wood worker  and vineyard farmer joined them. Two weeks was enough to convince him that his sons would never go back. He then returned to Italy with Valeriano to gather up the rest of the family.   Soon after the war Valeriano's new family, parents and remaining siblings departed from Italy in 1920.
Soon after their arrival in early 1921, Valeriano started working with his brothers at their Jacuzzi Brothers factory. A tragic crash, over Modesto, of Jacuzzi’s first enclosed monoplane took several lives, including that of Valeriano’s brother, Giocondo. At this time, Giovanni asked his sons to cease making planes. Valeriano moved his family to Northern California and purchased a 161-acre farm in Contra Costa County.
 
In 1937, Valeriano returned to work with his brothers at Jacuzzi Brothers, Inc. located in Berkeley, CA where they manufactured water well pumps and eventually, the bath and spa that bears their name.
