Theoretical Foundations of technology muscat wines.
The main problem that solves the technology of Muscat, is to maximize the aromatics of grape extract and save them at all stages of manufacture and storage of wine. The transition to the wort and wine extractive s should be restricted to ensure lightness and delicacy taste of muscat wine.

“That ain’t Good”
Just the other day I received my $300 tax rebate in the mail and where do you think it went? You guest it, the wine store. Isn’t that where everyone’s went? So, while I was there just getting my old squeaky cart with one bum wheel ready to go, I get this bright idea to pick up all red wines that are all $10 or under.
Well it seemed like a bright idea at the time. So I proceed to pick up a little bit of everything I thought might be a good bang for the buck. I picked out Malbec’s and Cabernet Sauvignon’s from Chile and Argentina. Shiraz and Cab-Shiraz blends from Australia. Sangiovese and Cabernet’s from Italy. Cabernet, Merlot and Red Blends from California. Some Red Bordeaux’s, and some Pinot Noir’s and Merlot’s from the Pacific Northwest. Every bottle fell within the $8 and $10 dollar range.
Once I got home I proceeded to blindly reach into one of the two cases of wine, and without looking pull out a bottle and wrap it in tin foil and place it on my desk. I tasted six bottles at a time without knowing each bottle until I had taken notes on all of them. I got through 25 bottles in four nights.

Make a reservation for the tasting, it’s free. Excellent Cabernet. The Special Selection Cab from a dry harvested 15-acre parcel is outstanding. The tasting is limited in size so it’s comfortable, relaxing, and you might even learn a thing or two. Purchases of the Special Selection were limited to 3 bottles at our visit – and of course we bought the limit. See detailed review.

Well what can I say – the first winery to offer a metal screw off top in their top end $145 per bottle cab. Should last forever… This winery is neat, comfortable, and fun. Interesting Sangiovese too. Enjoy a sandwich outside while drinking wine (your bring the sandwich).

Thomas Fogarty Winery & Vineyards
5937 Alpine Road
Portola Valley, CA 94028
Phone: (650) 851-6777
A frequent stomping ground of ours. Whether you found Fogarty’s name in the Time 2002 Almanac under the Inventor’s Hall of Fame, worked with him in the medical field, or know him personally, you need to stop at the winery if you are in the Santa Cruz Mountain Region, more specifically if you are traveling the Skyline Blvd area near Silicon Valley.
Jon Hunt manages Fogarty’s wine tasting room. Although he can’t make a good bet on a football game, he sure is fun to talk with at the winery. The winery has wonderful views of the vineyards and is a great place to have a great outdoor event like a business meeting or wedding. They have all that is necessary.
