MAY 2009
Hi Folks ! Thank-you for all of your comments from our February survey request. You helped us make decisions about what kind of experience you would like to see from Miller Wine Works. Please keep your comments coming, we welcome them !
We all know that every wine has a story behind it. Well, we decided to take that a step further, and share the story behind each of our wines "live" from the vineyard. Kim and I are happy to announce the launch of the first in a series of videos from Miller Wine Works, that will highlight "the vineyard behind the wine" ! We selected the Kendric Vineyard location for our first shoot because the 2006 Pinot Noir is beginning to display all of the unique characteristics that will put Marin County on your "follow list" of appellations to explore. Our Pinot is developing beautifully, and will continue to evolve for many years to come. It pairs wonderfully with anything from rabbit fricassee and chanterelles to wild salmon BLT's and arugula.

EVENTS
You are going to want to mark your calendar if you live in the San Francisco Bay area for this upcoming event. We have planned an intimate dining experience for Monday, May 18th, at Madera Restaurant ( www.maderasandhill.com ) in the newly opened Rosewood Sand Hill Hotel in Menlo Park, CA. The restaurant is nestled amid 16 acres of pristine open land in the Silicon Valley.
We have reserved the private dining room which comes complete with it's own fireplace and private terrace for your dining enjoyment. Chef Peter Rudolph has created five sumptuous courses that feature sustainably farmed foods, which he promises will make our wines dance on your palate. We hope you can join us! The price is $75 per person. For more information, or to confirm your reservation, please e-mail me at Gary@MillerWineWorks.com
