WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK | MENDOCINO/LAKE COUNTIES Hawk and Horse Vineyards Welcomes Visitors Hawk and Horse Vineyards welcomes visitors this summer at its historic ranch and tasting room at 13048 Highway 29, Lower Lake, eight miles beyond Middletown in Lake County. The winery tasting room is open Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. or by appointment. Tasting is $10 per person, which includes tasting the winery’s current releases, the 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon ($65) and 2006 Latigo (a Cabernet-based Port-style dessert wine, $85 for a 750 ml or $45 for a 375 ml bottle). Reservations are not required for tasting during hours of operation; phone ahead for tour information and reservations. Another option is an extended ranch and vineyard tour, including a tasting, for $45. A visit to Hawk and Horse Vineyards is a step back in time, to white-fence-bordered pastures full of horses, a charming hometurned-tasting room with an antique Victorian bar, historic photos of the property and local memorabilia. Visitors are welcome to bring picnics to enjoy as well; the winery provides snacks to share with Jeweled Wonder, Suzy, Poco, Cache, Crunchy, Gift of Diamonds, Miss Georgia Pearl and Majestic Ransome (all American Saddlebreds and Quarterhorses who live in the paddocks adjoining the tasting room). Hawk and Horse Vineyards was founded in 1999 by Mitch Hawkins, Tracey Hawkins and David Boies. The name refers to both the plentiful Red Tail hawks on the property as well as the proprietors’ love of horses. Hawk and Horse Vineyards is a family-owned and family-operated vineyard and ranch practicing biodynamic viticulture on a historic property in the Red Hills AVA of Lake County, specializing in estate-grown Cabernet Sauvignon and Latigo (Port). The first release was 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon. The winery farms biodynamically as a way to work in harmony with the land and nature. Hawk and Horse Vineyards has been Demeter-certified since 2008 and California Certified Organic (CCOF) since 2004. The ranch is the home to a small herd of Scottish Highland cattle, three American Saddlebred horses, five American Quarterhorses and an enormous range of wildlife---from Red Tail hawks to bees, owls, bear, wild boar, bobcats, mountain lions and squirrels. Bird-watching brings glimpses of woodpeckers, bluebirds, herons, ducks and more. The ranch encompasses 1,300 acres, straddling elevations up to 2,200 feet and slopes of 15% to 85%. Unusual for most visitors to notice is that the soil literally glitters, due to the abundance of Lake County “diamonds,” tiny quartz fragments which are the remnants of volcanic activity from nearby Mt. Konocti, a now dormant volcano. Lake County Wine Auction, Sept. 17 The Lake County Wine Alliance will hold its 12th annual Lake County Wine Auction, a gala benefit for the arts, health and community of Lake County, on Saturday, September 17, at Ceago Vinegarden, 5115 East Highway 20, in Nice. This annual gala is a must-attend event with live and silent auctions, wine and gourmet foods from local purveyors and music. This year’s event is chaired by Bill Brunetti, a prominent Lakeport businessman; the evening’s auctioneers will be Shaun Hornby and Stephanie Green. The attire for the evening is Wine Country Chic. Attendees must be 21 years and older. Music will be provided by Twice As Good. U.S. Congressman Mike Thompson will be an honored special guest. Two ticket prices will be offered at this year’s auction. The Grand Tasting ticket will include an afternoon of wine and food tasting in the Ceago gardens, a commemorative wineglass and tasting plate and participation in the silent auction for $75 per person. This portion of the event will begin at 3 p.m. and conclude at 6 p.m. The Grand Tasting and Auction Reserve ticket will include all of the items listed for the Grand Tasting ticket as well as a gift tote, reserved seating for the dinner, the live auction and dancing for $150 per person. This portion of the event will start at 3 p.m. and conclude at 9 p.m. For information and tickets to the Lake County Wine Auction contact (866) 279-WINE, www.winealliance.org Taste Zins and other specialty wines in our historic farmhouse overlooking the vineyards 12 New Releases Open Daily 10-5 Sign up for our email newsletter at www.WineCountryThisWeek.com 63
