Extra Frosting

I’m doing my part to help those in need of sea glass.

Officer, officer! Calm down! There’s a perfectly good explanation for why I’m out here on this beach drinking bottles of White Oak wine and then smashing them with a rock; it’s because I like to help people!

You see, sea glass is becoming harder to find these days since companies are making more and more products out of plastic. Well, I just happen to have all these bottles of 2006 White Oak Napa Valley Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon at home, and I was feeling a little bit greedy hoarding all that glass, so I thought, “Hey! Why don’t I break a few bottles down and introduce some new shards into the ecosystem?” And now here I am, just helping out the collectors and the artisans! On a private beach! At 1am!

Oh but of course, I needed to drink the wine before smashing the bottles, officer. Don’t be ridiculous! I just had to relish in the merlot’s bright fruit notes of black cherry, vanilla, coffee, and chocolate; and the Cab Sauv’s flavors of currant, black plum, and tea, which are supported by its ripe tannins, by the way.

I mean, what else would you have me do? Just pour all that wine out on the sand? Officer, that’s called littering, and last time I checked littering is illegal!

Vendor Details

White Oak Vineyard & Winery

Founded:
1981
Owner:
Bill Myers
Location:
Healdsburg, CA
Born in Los Angeles, Bill Myers worked as a building contractor and salmon fisherman in Alaska. During the 1970's, Bill relocated to the bucolic town of Healdsburg, California, sold his boat, purchased his first vineyard in the Alexander Valley and began to make wine.
With his newly purchased vineyard, a tiny tasting room and wine production facility just off the square in downtown Healdsburg, Bill started making wines. He quickly became recognized for producing wonderful Chardonnay, Zinfandel and what was to become White Oak's flagship wine: Sauvignon Blanc. In 1991, Bill took home his first Sonoma County Harvest Fair Sweepstakes Award for his 1990 Sonoma County Chardonnay.
 
Presently, White Oak Vineyards & Winery has nearly 750 acres of vineyards divided between the Napa, Alexander and Russian River Valleys. Roughly 10% of this fruit is used in White Oak wines with the balance being sold to other well known prestige wineries.
