The Silk Road

Read about the wandering of Sonoma County winemaster Kerry Damskey. First up: a trip to Nasik, India to check on the vineyards. Vineyards in India??? That's right. Nearly 10 years ago, Kerry was thrilled to find the optimum growing region for grapes in India and has since developed a love of the Nasik region. Come along for sights, smells, tastes and new friends...

May in Mumbai

Seems like Daisy and I just returned from our very productive visit with Raj -- but indeed it is time to return. I will be in India May 19-30 to blend the wines from our last harvest. Please do let me know if you have any specific questions about our vineyards or winemaking approach and while I'm there I will try keep you "posted," so-to-speak, on the inner workings of SULA, the phenom of Nashik!

I was reminded last week while speaking at the Syrah Symposium in the Santa Inez Valley that I first carried clones into India a decade ago. It has been quite a ride since then and I have loved this adventure!

So, come on along for the next phase...
