The Experience, Alameda: Dashe Cellars This Weekend

The Experience:

Bubbly for Valentine’s Day anyone?!

Nothing says Valentine’s (or Galentine’s) quite like bubbles—Dashe’s sparkling wine brings the sparkle to any celebration, but especially on Valentine’s.

Made 100% from Chenin Blanc grapes grown at the family-owned Heringer Vineyards, the wine has great mouthfeel and crisp acidity–a perfect sparkling wine to pop at your Valentine’s Celebration.

Winemaker Tasting Notes
Color | Pale gold
Aromas | Beautiful light floral aromas, minerals, and toasty yeast.
Taste | Crisp, bright flavors of stone fruit—apricot and peach—balanced with an edge of citrus acidity. The wine shows both great minerality and lush, complex flavors of toasty yeast.

Stop by their Tasting Room Friday – Sunday or Order Online: https://www.dashecellars.com/product/2024-sparkling-wine

And don’t forget to congratulate them on 30 years of winemaking.

Good wine, good company. They hope to see you this weekend!

About

Dashe Cellars is a family-owned artisan winery located in the heart of the Urban Wine Country at Alameda Point. After 15 years in Oakland’s Jack London Square district, Dashe Cellars moved to Spirits Alley on the old Naval Airbase in Alameda, CA.

They focus on crafting wines with a distinctive sense of place and look for that perfect balance of steep hillside vineyards, older vines, and vigor-reducing growing conditions.

Founded by Michael and Anne Dashe, Dashe Cellars crafted its first vintage of Dry Creek Zinfandel in 1996. Since that time, the Dashe’s have focused on producing exceptional, single-vineyard wines using a traditional, non-industrial approach to winemaking
