Situational Winedy

Even with wine, opposites attract.

It might seem strange that the Hughes Family could be made up of a Syrah and a Zinfandel, but if we've learned anything from sitcoms, it's that wacky pairings make for plenty of entertainment.

So apply that to this Hughes Family 2008 Syrah and 2008 Zinfandel. The Syrah is vibrant with black cherries, figs, dark chocolate, black and white pepper, followed by notes of oak. Meanwhile the Zinfandel has flavors of raspberries, red cherries, and pomegranate with aromas of white chocolate mousse. Can you imagine those two wines in the same setting? TALK ABOUT ZANY.

We don't know how owning this wine'll work out for you, but basic sitcom formula suggests that several funny events and entertaining scenarios will take place, and your home will be turned into a place with only three walls, but ignore that second part, and enjoy the fun and entertaining scenarios ... and wine!

Hughes Family Vineyards is a boutique winery producing premium Zinfandel, Syrah, Rose' and Chardonnay wines. Our Zinfandel and Syrah varietals are made exclusively from the grapes grown in our certified organic vineyards in Glen Ellen, California.
 
Keith and Cherie Hughes pursued a shared vision in 2001 with the purchase of two organic vineyards in Glen Ellen, California. Initially, their intention was to grow exceptional fruit, a goal that evolved into making superb wines that reflect the unique terroir of their land.

A Ph.D. clinical psychologist, Cherie worked with children, adolescents and their families in her private practice and also acted as a consultant to schools, developing a school violence prevention program.

Today, Cherie and Keith work together to manage Hughes Family Vineyards. "It is extremely important to us to be involved every step of the way - from the flowering of buds in the spring, to harvest in the fall, to enjoying our great wines with our friends and family."
