Fall Passport in Surf City
Stacey Vreeken interviewed me last summer & then wrote a nice piece about the current evolution of Trout Gulch. It was published in the Santa Cruz Sentinel on Wednesday, November 9th. I'm very pleased with it because Stacey captured my sentiments exactly as I presented them. Bill Lovejoy took the photos at the winery on Saturday, October 29th. Here is a link to the article. Thank You Stacey & Bill!

Wine's gold medal standard lacks luster I don't enter wine competitions for these same reasons. Number one is economic, if I were to enter the recent San Francisco Chronicle Wine Comp it would have cost me $720 in entry fees + 48 bottles of wine. That's a serious expenditure for a small producer. Think of this, there were 5,500 entries at $65 each, that amounts to some real money - what were their expenses? Number two is credibility. What guarantee is there that the awarded wines are of particular merit or did someone win a crap shoot? I concentrate on putting quality in the bottle, quality that my consumers can rely on. 2/9/2012
