We began this weekend's "Sonoma Valley Crush! A Harvest Celebration" at Valley of the Moon Winery in Glen Ellen...what a beautiful winery with an amazing old vine zinfandel vineyard!





They were out of "Crush" wine glasses for the event when we arrived (Valley of the Moon Winery must have been a popular starting point!) but we started the tasting while they went to get more. They have friendly wine pourers and a large and inviting tasting room with a wine bar on one half of the room and retail displays on the other. Here is a video clip of the wine bar:



We proceeded to taste each of our 5 different selections from their tasting menu:



I started out trying their 2003 Sparkling Wine, then their 2006 So Co Barbera, 2006 Saini Farms Old Vine Zinfandel, 2006 Cuvee de la Luna and finished off with their 205 So Co (Sonoma County) Port. Both of us absolutely fell in love with that Port and purchased the 4 bottle maximum...plus we bought 2 bottles of their Cuvee de la Luna, our favorite Valley of the Moon wine!
