Meet the Winemakers Nite Marie -Laure ammons - Nid Tisse WInes Derek SancheZ - COrkwood cellars
With 'Dry January' FINALLY behind us, what better way to celebrate jumping back into some wine tasting fun then a special 'Meet the Winemaker' night with not ONE ...but TWO winemakers. Yes, you read that right....we have an amazing night planned and we could not be happier to share with you.
VIN is pleased to welcome Marie-Laure Ammons, winemaker and proprietor of Nid Tisse' Wines from Sonoma County who will be pouring her exquisitely crafted Pinot Noir and Chardonay, and Derek Sanchez, winemaker at Corkwood Cellars from the Sierra Foothills, whose 500 case production of Zinfandel from the Steele Vineyard planted in 1916, is a subtle expression and is a new fave of our Zin loving clients.
Marie was born and raised in France and after graduating from Ecole Viticole (Bourdeaux) and Beaune Dijon. After spending years working harvest and winemaking in France, Marie moved to CA. After 18 vintages of dedicated work with Atelier Melka in Napa, she began producing her own wines.
Derek, a native of the Central Valley, studied Enology at California State University and moved to France in pursuit of a master's degree in Enology & Viticulture. Studying in Europe allowed Derek the opportunity to spend equal time both in the classroom and in the world's most renowned chateaus, bodegas, and tenutas - learning firsthand from the best European producers. Derek works and lives by the philosophy that balance is the key to both good wine and life....and that balance is evident in his wine.

Meet the Winemaker: Edgar Torres Bodega de Edgar & Song WInes PA
Please join us in welcoming Paso Robles winemaker, Edgar Torres of Bodega de Edgar and Song Wines.
‘I started as a Cellar Rat’……I can’t tell you how much I love his humble description of how his love of wine began. Edgar’s wine journey started in Paso Robles as a waiter and after some of his favorite wine producers became friends and opened their doors to Edgar to quench his desire to learn everything there is to know about wine, he and his wife launched Bodega de Edgar in 2007. Bodega, which is the Spanish term for winery or cellar, was a natural fit considering his Hispanic heritage and passion for Spanish wines.
Edgar will be pouring a variety of wines including Tempranillo, Syrah, Cabernet Franc and amazing blends.

Meet the Winemaker: Bibiana González RavE cattleya Wines
Please join us in welcoming Bibiana González Rave, winemaker and proprietor of Cattleya wines for an exceptional tasting of her Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, and Cabernet Sauvignon.
Bibiana believes a vineyard is a direct reflection of the work put into it by human hands. She is an involved winemaker who can often be found walking through the vineyards, developing pruning methods, canopy management practices or checking fruit during the maturity process. Her knowledge of vineyard practices is apparent in every small detail and her constant strive for excellence is evident at first sip. Bibiana’s love for the art of winemaking leads to wines of unique purity, finesse, and reflection of their origins.
Bibiana’s constant pursuit of excellence brought her to work with some of the best wineries in France, including Château Haut-Brion, La Mission Haut-Brion and Château la Dominique in Bordeaux, Michel & Stephane Ogier and Domaine Clusel-Roch in Côte-Rôtie, Domaine du Scheidecker in Alsace and Domaine du Devevey in Burgundy.
Bibiana’s first vintage in California was 2004. Since then, she hit the ground running. She worked six harvests in three years, traveling to South Africa to work harvests at Soronsberg Cellars in the Tulbagh region. Back in California, she worked at La Crema, Peay Vineyards, Au Bon Climat and Qupé before Lynmar Estate, where she was winemaker from 2009 through early 2012.
Her label Cattleya was conceived in 2012 and so was Bibiana’s career as Consulting Winemaker. Since then, she has earned a remarkable series of accolades and rave reviews for all her wines and those of her clients. She was named one of Wine Enthusiast’s first “40 Under 40: America’s Tastemakers” in 2013 and in 2015, she was named “Winemaker of the Year” by the San Francisco Chronicle. Bibiana’s newest venture, Alma de Cattleya, represents the soul of the California appellation where the wines are made.
