New Love-New Pinot
Wednesday, February 17th, 2010We have officially opened our tasting room on a regular schedule (thursday-sunday 11Am to 4:30PM). This past Valentine´s weekend was a wonderful first experience as we welcomed guests to taste barrel samples of our 2009 Pinot Noir. Kit our new tasting room manager convinced me that she would decorate tastefully but slightly “cheesy”; and well […]
Southern California Pinot Days
Wednesday, January 20th, 2010After a chilly week in Miami, I flew to Los Angeles for the first-ever Southern California Pinot Days! I love Pinot Days because it brings the best Pinot Noir producers and Pinot Noir-lovers together. I always sneak away from my table to taste a few of the Pinots made around the world and it is […]

On the backside of the mountain
Tuesday, October 13th, 2009As our winemaker Jacqueline Yoakum would say, “we are on the backside of the mountain.” This weekend was incredibly busy for us here at Keller Estate.

Easter Brunch at Keller Estate
Tuesday, April 14th, 2009We had a wonderful Easter dinner at Keller Estate and had the opportunity to savor our wonderful Precioso Pinot Noir. Our Pinot Noir is luscious, with dark fruits, perfectly smooth tannins, earth and spice and a long, sumptous finish. It pairs well with earthy, gamey meats such as lamb, making this a perfect pairing for […]
Valentine’s Day Recipes
Monday, February 9th, 2009Restaurants abound with special Valentine’s Day menus, but the night tends to be rushed, expensive and cliche when you head out. This year, I’m staying in with my sweetie and we’re cooking our way through Valentine’s Day. I chose salmon because, as most Pinot-philes know, it is a match made in heaven with our Pinot […]
Tasting the 2006 Pinot Noir
