In the process, I requested readers to write or call the winery asking that they find a way to save the old vineyard. Winemaster, I am writing in response to the enclosed article. So, I do not drink and I do not know the tradition of California wines. However, I was compelled to read this article. So, cherish your vineyards.
Quality is passion.
Good luck to you all. As the marketing company for Domaine Saint George, the Winemaker has asked us to reply to your warm and thoughtful letter. It was good of Jerry Mead, that great advocate of wine, to unleash his passion for a wine he greatly enjoyed and to protect the vineyard from which it came. In the case of the estate vineyard adjoining the winery at Domaine Saint George, the good news is that a large section of the vineyards was replanted to a selected clone of Cabernet Sauvignon two years ago, so that beginning this year, with a tiny crop, grapes to replace those from the vineyard in question have been harvested. It pretty much evaporated within the week that Mead On Wine was published.
