In early December we ended the fermentation process by placing the wine in the cold, inhibiting the yeasts from reproducing. Now the wine has been racked off the lees (the sediment created during fermentation) and sulfured. The wine created has a nice refreshing lightness and the sweet flavors enhance rather than overwhelm. Next week we will rack one more time to increase the wine’s clarity in preparation for the next process, bottling. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">But, before we can bottle we have one last order of business . . . we need a name for our wine! Please submit via a comment below, facebook or via email to <a href="mailto:lindsey@delriovineyards.com">lindsey@delriovineyards.com</a> your name selection. All entries will be due by next Wednesday January 4<sup>th</sup>. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">We have secured a date for bottling . . . those who helped process the wine in November are welcomed back to the winery to help us bottle. Please join us on Saturday January 7<sup>th</sup> from 3-5pm in the winery to bottle and take home your very own bottle of White Merlot. </div>Lindseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08921991443294160028noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2041353414301806733.post-2152984385585037302011-12-23T10:55:00.000-08:002011-12-30T08:55:16.007-08:008th Annual Winter Wine EventJoin us on Saturday January 14th from 1pm to 4pm for our 8th Annual Winter Wine Event.

<b>Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheese Ball</b><br />
Made by Jenelle Miracle <br />
<br />
• 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, at room temperature<br />
• 1 cup powdered sugar<br />

Place morsels in flat dish. Remove plastic wrap from ball and roll ball into morsels to completely cover (you may find it necessary to press morsels into ball). PLACE ball on serving dish; cover and freeze for 2 hours or until almost firm. (Can be made ahead. If frozen overnight, thaw at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes before serving.) Serve with graham cracker sticks and apple slices for dipping or spreading. <br />

<b>Holiday Cheese Ball</b><br />
Made by Jennifer Kerrigan<br />
<br />
• 1 (4-ounce) package cream cheese<br />
• 1/4 cup milk<br />
• 1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese<br />
• 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese<br />
• 2 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese<br />
• 5 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled<br />
• 6 tablespoons chopped pecans<br />
• 2 tablespoons chopped green onions (white part only)<br />
• 1/2 (2-ounce) jar diced pimientos, drained <br />
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley<br />
• 2 teaspoons poppy seeds<br />
Beat the cream cheese and milk in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on low until well blended. Add the Cheddar, Monterey Jack and blue cheese. Beat at medium speed until well combined. Add half of the bacon, 3 tablespoons of the pecans, the green onions and pimientos to the cheese mixture. Blend on medium speed until well mixed. Transfer the mixture to a large piece of plastic wrap and form into a ball. Wrap tightly. Refrigerate until well chilled, about 2 hours. Combine the remaining bacon and remaining pecans with the parsley and poppy seeds in a pie plate or large dinner plate. Remove the plastic wrap from the ball.

Let’s delve a little bit further to discover what this wine truly is about.<br /><br />Merlot grapes were harvested on November 11, 2011, at 24° Brix. (Brix is a form of measuring the amount of natural sugar in the berry.) This number will help us determine the final alcohol of our finished wine.<br /><br />After picking, the clusters were left in buckets for attendees of the URWT 2nd Saturday, Grape to Glass. Participants now had a great opportunity to <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUDxhYE9V9qka3c1FlIMn7RbpqUNE3cDDChIBF74mgeDNZjDe_AAkZO6gdqZQFBECjlRbBVqhyphenhyphenX4uNMxvsAAsmUpVTXSunCaxCyJ-kl0rdyEysIpNasyZ7_TEnF8CUmhlxlKFz4X8Cp6tI/s1600/white+merlot.jpg"></a>get their hands a little dirty. This process consisted of de-stemming (pluck the fruit from the stem), sorting (bug, leaf & stem removal) and pressing. After we were sure that we had clean berries, the grapes were then heaped into a wood grape press. Luckily, we had some savvy participants here to help operate the manual press. Once the berries were inside the press, pressure was forced down upon the grapes by a ratcheting motion. This light pressing of the berries was just enough for the juice to flow without extracting the bitterness of the skins. The juice was then racked off into a 5 gallon carboy for fermentation.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYqiE94eaF0A7HcTIxj27YO1tgXjakwxOLyIjorU8anFO42EEvensQ5ZsyIM92mfQRzTk5k0gkbHWa0PyQmyOuDq0XlICLLgwqobtOF1vekuZDhFLHER9YA3kjWhkys1qKOAV6-539YruT/s1600/white+merlot.jpg"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSBBcWryIRkhJc6KFYNm8KLO7CEQzmZnWVOwI14_gXfIytp8sO_YJ8WiRiPSBCJbkUMpVxw2flhT5ShYpx5xP0ccd7LI6AuVHjSzp9kGzUMO4eJtks5bF8ArLT50a-NHu1wPnFl9cGmn5K/s1600/white+merlot.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 122px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 181px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5678362749876501826" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSBBcWryIRkhJc6KFYNm8KLO7CEQzmZnWVOwI14_gXfIytp8sO_YJ8WiRiPSBCJbkUMpVxw2flhT5ShYpx5xP0ccd7LI6AuVHjSzp9kGzUMO4eJtks5bF8ArLT50a-NHu1wPnFl9cGmn5K/s200/white+merlot.jpg" /></a><br />The White Merlot was then inoculated with active yeast drawn from a winery tank. It was clear that fermentation had taken hold as the gasses released through the fermentation bubbler were filling the kitchen. It is now time to let the yeast work their magic. I realized today that we did not have to leave the back door open to ventilate the kitchen so I thought I would take the juice into Jean-Michel’s lab for testing. Upon analyzing the juice, it was clear that we were indeed almost finished! The Brix came in at 3.3 and the Ph was sitting nicely at 3.55. We will need to stop fermentation within the next couple of days as the desired outcome will be to have a slightly sweet wine. The flavor of this wine is delicate and has just the right amount of sweetness, without being too cloying, which is excessive sweetness. I’m still not sure what I can smell on the nose as there is still a lot of CO2 remaining in my glass which is a byproduct of the fermentation. After we rack this wine several times, the CO2 will dissipate. Stay tuned to find out what happens next! </div>Jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15852326135484827706noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2041353414301806733.post-82622341377947958542011-11-17T10:49:00.001-08:002011-11-17T10:49:55.735-08:00Cranberry, Fig, and Pinot Noir Chutney<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">1 1/2 cups Pinot Noir<br />
12 dried figs, diced<br />
3/4 cup sugar<br />
3 strips orange zest<br />
1 (2-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated<br />
4 cups fresh or frozen cranberries<br />
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper<br />
<br />
1. Bring the wine to a simmer in a small saucepan. Remove from the heat, add the figs, and let soak until soft, about 30 minutes. Drain, reserving the wine and figs separately. <br />
<br />
2. Combine the sugar, 1 1/2 cups water, the reserved wine, orange zest, and ginger in a large saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until the sugar has completely melted, a minute or two. Add half of the cranberries and cook, stirring occasionally, until the berries have popped and are very soft, about 10 minutes. Stir in the remaining cranberries and the soaked figs and cook for 5 minutes longer. Season lightly with salt and pepper. <br />
<br />
3. Discard the orange zest and scrape the chutney into a serving bowl. Serve at room temperature or chilled. The chutney can be prepared 24 hours in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator. <em>Bobby Flay's Bar Americain Cookbook</em> 2011</span>Lindseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08921991443294160028noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2041353414301806733.post-62584430427463448762011-11-15T16:38:00.000-08:002011-11-15T16:51:01.967-08:00Thanksgiving Weekend!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii9Lp8JQVOY6oKpkCZL9PGoi-vVTcj4VJax1_4QXma9mMjU48y970mOSIE13ZlUxxrnT_W3_sPaCXr6_qhBc9aw-7-CQ-ycI8lfYdxyNXTH8m0aI33D-xmh0OuTqWiFhjkBeeJfmsMOoxC/s1600/housephoto.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii9Lp8JQVOY6oKpkCZL9PGoi-vVTcj4VJax1_4QXma9mMjU48y970mOSIE13ZlUxxrnT_W3_sPaCXr6_qhBc9aw-7-CQ-ycI8lfYdxyNXTH8m0aI33D-xmh0OuTqWiFhjkBeeJfmsMOoxC/s320/housephoto.JPG" width="320" /></a>Del Rio Vineyards & Winery invites you to our annual Thanksgiving Open House celebration.

<br />
Paired with Del Rio <a href="https://delriovineyards.com/xe/xe.asp?page=viewitem&p=650&cat=C0005">Pinot Noir</a><br />
Prep Time: 15 min<br />
Cook Time: 25 min<br />
Servings: 4<br />
<br />
<b>Ingredients: </b><br />
<ul><li>3 tablespoons olive oil</li>
<li>1 whole small carrot, finely minced</li>
<li>1 whole celery stalk, finely minced</li>
<li>1 Tablespoon garlic, crushed and minced</li>
<li>1 pound white mushrooms, sliced thin</li>
<li>4 ounces, <a href="https://delriovineyards.com/xe/xe.asp?page=viewitem&p=658&cat=C0006">Chardonnay</a></li>
<li>4 ounces, tomato juice</li>
<li>4 ounces, chicken broth</li>
<li>1 pint heavy whipping cream</li>
<li>1 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated</li>
<li>1 teaspoon cornstarch</li>
<li>1/4 cups water</li>
<li>1 pinch salt and pepper to taste</li>
</ul><div><b>Preparation Instructions:</b><br />
Heat oil, over medium heat, in a large deep pot. Mince the carrot and celery nice and fine, too big and the soup will end up chunky. Toss into the pot and allow them to soften while you slice the mushrooms. Next, add your garlic, right as the carrots and celery start to cook down. Add the mushrooms to the pot and allow them to reduce and soften. Pour in chardonnay, and let it cook with the mushrooms for a few minutes. Add the tomato juice, and the chicken broth. Allow it to boil for about 5 minutes before adding the heavy whipping cream, and bring to a soft boil. Grate Parmesan and add it to the pot. Let this cook for a few minutes, until the cheese is melted and blended in with the soup. Add the cornstarch to the 1/4 cup of water, then pour into the soup. Lower the heat and let the soup simmer for about 10 minutes or so, until thickened. Salt and pepper the soup to your own tastes. Serve with crostini. </div>Lindseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08921991443294160028noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2041353414301806733.post-43264283385365949832011-10-05T09:30:00.000-07:002011-10-05T09:30:52.930-07:002011 Pre-Harvest Report<div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/dfUgExV-aIs" width="560"></iframe></div>Lindseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08921991443294160028noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2041353414301806733.post-29150076548492790512011-10-01T10:22:00.000-07:002011-10-01T10:22:19.967-07:00Drink Pink!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtProJnEqJfkl8C2QUxZS_RGtnUCMdG3DFjwUBLBLL6AyDE5sCLQpw1gm72nX5LQRWDhGsckr0BSYWArHKnpGnEQ8w0Nz_g5Xf32y2tNaxsmqjQPR2C9FzN-b2h6DPenkSZkb4byJA_y3B/s1600/Breast+Cancer+Ribbon+Paint.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtProJnEqJfkl8C2QUxZS_RGtnUCMdG3DFjwUBLBLL6AyDE5sCLQpw1gm72nX5LQRWDhGsckr0BSYWArHKnpGnEQ8w0Nz_g5Xf32y2tNaxsmqjQPR2C9FzN-b2h6DPenkSZkb4byJA_y3B/s400/Breast+Cancer+Ribbon+Paint.jpg" width="228" /></a></div>In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Drink Pink at Del Rio Vineyards.

Enjoy!<br />
<br />
<br />
<i>I believe that most of my wines represent my origins, my life experiences, my personality and my belief in winemaking. </i><i>My family produces Muscadet in the Loire Valley, France. This vibrant wine is always on my mind when making whites. As a result, I like to feel some acidity on most of my blends. It’s helped the wine keep its freshness and lifts up the fruit as well as extends the mouth feel. </i><i>My style of red wine comes from my experience in Bordeaux and Australia. I strive for fruity reds with a deep color as well as round and rich tannins. </i><i>I barrel age red and white wines according to the vintage and its potential. In any case, I do not try to overpower the fruit of wines. To achieve the ageing that suit the wine, I select oak from France, Hungary and America. </i><i>I also used lees ageing, Malolactic fermentation, and different techniques of maceration and yeast strains to create several nuances into the wines.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>Ultimately, I want the taster to go back to my wines and find at each new sip another layer of complexity and aromas. </i><i>A good wine in my opinion arouses curiosity by its originality, respectfulness of the fruit, balance, texture, and must express to its best the vineyard site and the work of the grower.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>Hope it helps.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>Sincerely </i><br />
<i>J-Michel</i><br />

Soon after that day, a spry 70-year old man soon became our first regular. In those early days, we only had one person full-time during the week. Each time he came by, he would remind us that if we ever needed someone, to keep him in mind. Well, soon after that we took him up on his offer. That special person was Jerry Dynge. He started off by working every Saturday and Sunday. Not long after, we talked him into going from two days a week to five: Monday through Friday. During those early years here at Del Rio, Jerry did everything from grape samples to inventory and sales of wine to art festivals. He was our man. As we grew, we hired more and more ladies to help out. He loved them all very much. Jerry was always willing to do anything that needed to be done and helped us move forward. Working alongside Jerry was easy, he tended to the customer with great diligence and we were his back-up. The tasting room ladies enjoyed reminding Jerry frequently of their favorite pet peeve…daily customers would come in the tasting room, look around, and then ask for Jerry. When it was shared with the customer that Jerry had a day off, the look of disappointment in the customer’s eyes could not be overlooked. This was a true testament of his strong character as the most thoughtful and caring person. Jerry always went out of his way to make each person he met feel special. His love of art and nature was expressed through his work and his compassion for others was felt in the warm touch. He was a very special person to us all and will be greatly missed.<br />
