A Jewel in the Heart of Edna Valley

Yesterday, I guided a tour for ABS Global and as usual, had a blast. Once I realized that I would have to guard our bus’s microphone from the group in order to avoid disastrous karaoke sessions, I knew I was in for a real treat. I was correct in making this assumption. By the way, if you want to have a good laugh and share some interesting conversation, ask me what they do at ABS Global…

As we made our way through wine country, we arrived at Wolff Vineyards. A jewel in the heart of Edna Valley, I am continually impressed by their great wine, hospitality and enchanting surroundings. Mark and Clint, the sons of owner and wine-maker Jean-Pierre Wolff, walked our group through each vintage, the production process and even gave food-pairing i deas that made our mouths water. At one point I as taken aback as all 17 country boys and country girls were silent (rare for this group), captivated by Mark’s description of the vineyards and the very delicious Pinot Nior.

Wolff Vineyards amplifies what all of us wish for when visiting a tasting room. The necessity of superb wines is a given, but the additional touch of wine education from the wine maker and background information on the vineyards is the cherry on top. Did I mention that Wolff Vineyards uses sustainable winegrowing practices and has a habitat restoration program in their vineyards? I recommend that anyone visiting Edna Valley stop by Wolff Vineyards and taste, smell and see this jewel for yourself.
