Coturri Winery

I had the great pleasure of spending a few day's with Tony Coturri at his winery in late October.

His place is near Glen Ellen, a small town in the Sonoma Valley. A working farm, totally unpretentious, honest and real. They only thing they seem to care about is making great wine from organic grapes...using nothing but the grapes and natural yeasts.

And the handful of men working there are equally unpretentious and real. From Luciano, a proud father of 9 who has worked with Tony for 20 years to Bill, the barrel master for 28 years and Nic, Tony's son and next in line to keep the family tradition going that was started back in 1979.

And when you drink his wine you can taste all that and more...

Tony was a gracious host who let me have a glimpse into his world of winemaking and I thank him for that.....and for the delicious oatmeal he made every morning!
