Any Time is Wine Time! Especially Right Now.

Go ahead: try to explain to your less vino-inclined friends and family what a Wine Woot Off is. Watch as their eyes widen in horror while you describe queing up with a bunch of strangers to eagerly snatch up bottle after bottle in a 24-hour festival of wine gluttony. Then smile as they ask you again for the URL.

Features

2010 Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley Magnum

Cherry, blackberry, and hints of sweet raspberry with a vanilla finish. An elegant Pinot from the Sapphire Hill vineyard. Pairs with all things pork, artisan cheese and salmon. Sapphire produces a lot of magnums, because after years of testing and tasting, they are convinced the wine is always better in a Magnum and perfect with dinner for 4 or a long weekend.

This Pinot Noir is a combination of grapes from the Sapphire Hill Vineyard, located about 1 mile from the Rochioli vineyard, and the Ketcham Estate on Eastside road outside Healdsburg. Aged in 50% new French oak for 16 months, this Pinot Noir showcases the distinctive bouquet, rich texture, and velvet vanilla finish.

Sapphire Hill was founded on Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in the heart of the Russian River Valley.  The Pinots are made in the Classic, traditional Russian River style, and no Syrah or Petite Sirah is added.  Sapphire’s Pinots are the perfect match for sipping by themselves or paired with anything pork or figs.

Lisa and Chris Mulcahy

Heasldsburg, CA
My husband Chris and I have always been wine lovers and in the early 90's, while living in the Bay area, our favorite past time was heading out to wine country. We loved the beauty, the history, the people and of course the excellent wines. However, it was one of those elusive places where we wondered how in the world we could ever make a living in the small towns that make up the area.
 
After moving from California and taking several vacations back to the area, we again wondered how we could live in such a beautiful place and make our dream come true.
 
Chris spent his career working for big corporations and I've spent the last 25 years working with morning radio personalities across the country from wherever corporate America would move us at the time.
One evening Chris came home and said he was tired of the corporate life and moving around all the time. He wanted to love going to work everyday and when I asked what his passion was, he said he always dreamed of working at a winery. My first reaction was, "Hmm ... I bet there are a lot of people who'd love to work at a winery; but, if that's what you'd like to do, go get a job at a winery!" Much to my surprise, 5 months later, we were giving away our "stuff" and moving out to beautiful Healdsburg to live out our dream. Chris became the CFO of a family owned winery and then began his own winery consulting firm while I continued with my career in radio.
 
The opportunity to purchase Sapphire Hill came up in Fall of 2010 and we decided that our love of wine and the winery business was a passion that we both shared and something we could happily do for the rest of our lives.
