The best part of tasting in Apple Hill may not even be the beauty of our vineyards in rolling hills and pines, it may be that you have so many opportunities to talk with our winemakers and take away some serious knowledge. Apple Hill Grower wineries<\/a> offer many events during the year where you can chat with the winemakers or the winery families and get to know what they do, and why they love it! \u00a0All of our wineries continue to be run by the original families\/owners<\/p>\r\n

Madrona Vineyards<\/span><\/h2>\r\n

Take a blending class with Paul Bush<\/a> and you’ll see his winemaking passion runs deep. Paul’s parents, Dick and Leslie Bush founded Madrona Vineyards<\/a> in 1973. But Paul’s\u00a0knowledge extends far beyond Apple Hill vineyards. He has lived in France for months with his family to study wine and has made trips to the Bordeaux region to continue his wine education. The signature wine Quintet (5 varietals make this Bordeaux blend) is the focus of an educational class hosted by Paul this weekend. It’s a hands-on experience, graduated cylinders plus pipettes and all, that will expand your wine knowledge and impress your friends. Tickets still available for Saturday’s 11am class.<\/p>\r\n

Paul’s take on the Quintet…<\/h3>\r\n

“Having just returned from a trip through Bordeaux, it\u2019s amazing how much one can learn by being there and by doing. I now have tasted the difference between Left Bank and Right Bank wines and why Merlot-based wines grow one place and Cab Sauv-based wines grow in another. It\u2019s one thing to taste a Bordeaux wine in a restaurant in San Francisco, but it\u2019s a completely different thing to experience the wine in Bordeaux, looking at the trellising system on the vines, smelling the soil, and talking to the winemakers who imagined the wine in the first place.<\/p>\r\n

Now you\u2019re starting to get a sense of what the Quintet tasting here at Madro\u00f1a is all about. This is an education, an experience, and an opportunity. It\u2019s kind of like learning about science at the Exploratorium in San Francisco by pushing buttons and pulling levers. It\u2019s not reading it out of a book or having someone lecture it to you (like in some tasting rooms!!!).” Intrigued!? …. Learn more Quintet class and tickets<\/a> in his blog.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
