We combined a New Releases Open House with an exhibition of paintings by Garrett Speirs. Garrett spends half the year in Tuscany and the other half in Santa Barbara. Some of his larger canvases were inspired by a trip in David Lafond’s fishing boat up the coast following Highway 101. A view you can glimpse as you drive to the winery.
The inclement weather did not inhibit visitors and they were rewarded by Mirella’s great selection of food and, of course, wine. One of the interesting wines we tasted for, the first time, was a 2004 Lafond Vineyard Syrah / Grenache blend.
We planted a small block of Grenache seven years ago. Winemaker Bruce McGuire wanted to create a traditional Provence blend from our vineyard.
The wait was worth it.
