Food & Wine Magazine Names Siduri Wines A Best Winery Tour
Ultra
Premium Pinot Noir and Syrah Producer Singled Out for Up-Close-and-Personal
Winery Visit Santa Rosa, CA (September 17, 2007) Food & Wine
Magazine, one of the nations leading culinary arts publications
with a circulation approaching 1,000,000 readers, has named Santa
Rosas Siduri Winery to their short list of Napa and Sonomas Best
Winery Tours. One of the original warehouse wineries best known
for their extensive offering of cult-status Pinot Noir, Siduri
joins the ranks of Kuleto Estate, Frank Family Vineyards and Hanzell
Vineyards on the prestigious roll call.
In
the article, which appears in the October 2007 issue, Food and
Wine says of Siduri, Using grapes transported from vineyards throughout
California and Oregon, Adam and Dianna Lee make an astonishing
27 different Pinot Noirs under the Siduri label and 12 Syrahs
for Novy Family Wines. Their winerys in a bare bones warehouse
in not-so-sexy Santa Rosa, but the appointment-only tours usually
given by one of the Lees include a sampling of wines aging in
barrels for a preview of upcoming vintages.
The
magazine goes on to highlight two of the winerys offerings as
must haves; the 2005 Novy Page-Nord Syrah and the 2005 Sonatera
Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir ( the latter is sold out at the winery
but available at select restaurants and wine shops).
About
Siduri and Novy:
Named for the Babylonian goddess of wine, who appears on the label,
Siduri produces the most extensive offering of single vineyard
Pinot Noirs by any California winery. Founded in 1994 by husband
and wife winemakers Adam & Dianna Lee, Siduri produces 7500
cases of single vineyard and appellation Pinot Noir annually at
prices ranging from $20-$50. The Lees also produce a line of wines
in partnership with Dianna's family; the similarly priced Novy
Family Wines explore many of the same vineyard sites as Siduri,
but with a focus on Syrah. Siduri and Novy Family Wines are available
from the winery and at fine restaurants and wine shops nationally.
Siduri Winery is open to the public daily for tasting and tour
from 10am to 4pm by appointment.
