What a great weekend to meet HUNDREDS of thirsty Syrah & Viognier loving wine drinkers.

This is part of the life we now have as San Sakana Cellars. Instead of playing golf or watching Da Vinci Code (we maybe last people in America who haven't yet), we managed to squeeze in two tasting events this weekend.

The Crushpad open house, our winery in San Francisco, was filled to the brim on Saturday afternoon June 10th. We managed to meet with 600 or so rabid fans of limited production, single vineyard Syrah's and Viogniers.

On Sunday, June 11th, we were also one of the featured wineries at the Taste of California Wine Event in San Mateo. It is a great charity and for us another fantastic opportunity to share our wines with more Syrah & Viognier loving folks.

We're tired, but happy.

More notes soon as we gear up for the release of our 2005 Viogniers!
