Joel Gott Wines

California Dream  Wine Tasting 5:00 - 8:00 PM   This Is Joel Gott     While running Palisades Market in Calistoga in the early 1990s, Joel Gott noticed a growing need for quality, value wines. Having worked at Kenwood Winery in Sonoma County, and with a family history in the business, Joel felt sure he could fill this void in the marketplace.      Joel Gott Pinot Noir  The 2012 California Pinot Noir has aromatics of dried cherries, boysenberries, and strawberries with hints of vanilla and white pepper. Dense and rich on the front of the palate with well-balanced acidity on the mid-palate, and a long finish.

Joel Gott California Sauvignon Blanc     The 2013 Joel Gott California Sauvignon Blanc has bright citrus aromas complemented by tropical notes. Refreshing flavors of melon lead to juicy Meyer lemon zest flavors on the mid palate, and a long, clean, and balanced finish. Joel Gott California Sauvignon Blanc 2013    Joel Gott Alakai Red    The 2011 Alakai from Joel Gott has aromas of wild cherry and raspberry, with spicy notes of white pepper and anise. On the palate, the wine has complexity and elegance, rounded out by ripe fruit flavors and smooth tannins.     Joel Gott Alakai California Red Wine 2011 This is the event that was rescheduled because of bad weather.

The New York Times: "Mezcal is one of the world's great spirits: complex, gorgeous and endlessly intriguing, distinguished like great wines by a strong sense of place. Mezcal is little known, however, and even less understood, but paradoxically has been anointed in the last few years as the Next Big Thing."  Read More...
