The Calicaro '09 Lineup

Here is what we are making this year: four Pinots Noir, one Cab Sauv and one Zin. We were so happy with our 08 fruit sources that we went back to each of them. New fruit sources this year include Doctor's Vineyard for Pinot and a Dry Creek Valley blend from some of the great Zin vineyards there. The Zin was a harvest time decision. Top quality fruit at a recession price. We'll pass the savings on with a very attractive bottle price south of $30/btl.

The new Pinot will be called "The Dark Corner" and the Zin will be called "Shoeless Joe". Folks with a South Carolina Upstate connection will recognize the names. Anybody else know the signifcance of the names?

Cheers,
Dave
