The next dish served was arancini balls filled with delicious risotto, and grilled vegetables which paired perfectly with another one of their Chardonnays!! My favorite pairing: Arancini Balls + Chardonnay!!Īt the end of the tasting we had sweet organic strawberries with a glass of Pinot Noir. One thing that I absolutely adore about Scribe is the food pairing because most of the wineries in the Valley are not allowed to serve food! Yummy and Healthy Salad!!
As you can see, the lunch pairing was healthy, natural, organic, and delicious. The next course was a lovely floral salad paired with a glass of Chardonnay. We were greeted at the entrance with a glass of the Riesling, which I absolutely loved because it is a dry, citrus white wine (I am not big fan of sweet wines), so their Riesling hit the spot! Scribe also provided some almonds, fresh cherry tomatoes, and olives to snack on that came from their gorgeous garden! Reservations are required in advance to enjoy a wine tasting at this gorgeous winery!! The Entrance of Scribe Winery!! When vinified with non-interventionist methods, the result is a distinct wine that faithfully reflects what the vineyard naturally expresses. Their winemaking is currently managed by fourth-generation California farmers and brothers, Andrew and Adam Mariani.Īndrew and Adam believe the best wines are the result of a healthy relationship between man and nature, and that a vineyard managed in harmony with the greater ecosystem results in more site-specific wines that represent a sense of time and place. The winery was founded in 2007 on a property that pioneered pre-prohibition Sonoma Valley. Scribe Winery in Sonoma produces many vibrant wine varietals such as Rosé, Chardonnay, Riesling, Pinot Noir, Syrah, and also my favorite red, Cabernet Sauvignon!! Scribe has an organic garden on the property, which allows for a farm to table experience to pair with tasty wines!! The Wine Tasting and Food Experience is something you cannot miss during your visit. As a Napa Valley resident, I’m happy to provide this tip because Scribe was one of the most beautiful properties I’ve ever visited. Napa and Sonoma have numerous outstanding wineries to visit, and it can be overwhelming to choose the best ones if you are visiting for a short period of time. Who else wants to spend a day or at least an afternoon at this wonderful winery called Scribe? I had a such a great time there and I’m so happy to be posting about our experience in the “Hacienda”!!
Leslie even included a handwritten note to me with the cards.A Beautiful View from the Scribe Hacienda House!! When I contacted Scribe, they rushed cards out to my clients and me and could not have been nicer about handling it. Two other cards had recipes for the salad dressing and a margarita (the verjus can be used as a mix for several drinks). The second shipment lacked recipe cards that had come with the previous bottles and the recipe cards are an essential touch.
We bought a bottle of the verjus to take home and then once we were home we twice ordered quite a bit more shipped to us to share with friends and to give as gifts some of my clients. The dressing base was verjus, which is made from pinot grapes before they ripen. My favorite was the bib lettuce salad and vinaigrette dressing - I can't guarantee it will be a taste explosion for everyone but it was for me. A lot of the food was grown on the premises in a garden I could see from my table - cherry tomatoes, olives, almonds. Meat, cheese, bread and various vegetables were served in dishes that our group passed around to each other. Prefer steak, chicken, pasta, pizza with wine, so I was surprised how much I enjoyed the food served with the wine tasting here (the Hacienda tasting). Cool, mellow Sonoma vibe and excellent food.
