![]() ![]() These man-made divisions were inspired by a natural transition between ecological communities. The southwest border of Scribe's property marks the dividing line between the Carneros and Sonoma Valley viticultural appellations, while its northeast border sits on the Sonoma and Napa line. The volcanic, ashy and mineral-rich soils of the cool-climate Sonoma region are ideal for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. In addition to their estate vineyards, the Mariani brothers lease a vineyard in Napa Valley on Atlas Peak, which they call Scribe Outpost East. In addition to growing vines, Scribe has an acre of organic fruits and vegetables as well as an apiary to help pollinate everything. Today, a total of 35 acres are planted to vines. In addition, they planted Riesling and Silvaner, to respect the estate’s history. New vines of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay were planted. ![]() Mountains of debris, derelict sheds, invasive plants and acres of poison oak had to be torn out and discarded. (The Dresels may have planted the first Riesling and Silvaner in the U.S.) For the first few years, Adam and Andrew worked hard to restore and revitalize the estate. Neighbor to Gundlach Bundschu, their property’s history dates back to 1857 when Emil Dresel and his brother Julius established the wine estate. In 2007, the Mariani brothers acquired a former turkey farm with 256 acres three miles east of the Sonoma Town Square in Carneros. to make wine from their own winery in Carneros. After working at wineries in Europe, they came back to the U.S. The Mariani brothers grew up in Winters, California farming walnuts and almonds, and enjoyed it enough that they longed for a life in agriculture. Owners, and brothers, Adam and Andrew Mariani are 4th generation farmers producing vibrant wines that express an unmistakable sense of place unique to Northern California, particularly Sonoma.

Two other cards had recipes for the salad dressing and a margarita (the verjus can be used as a mix for several drinks). The second shipment lacked recipe cards that had come with the previous bottles and the recipe cards are an essential touch. We bought a bottle of the verjus to take home and then once we were home we twice ordered quite a bit more shipped to us to share with friends and to give as gifts some of my clients. The dressing base was verjus, which is made from pinot grapes before they ripen. My favorite was the bib lettuce salad and vinaigrette dressing - I can't guarantee it will be a taste explosion for everyone but it was for me. A lot of the food was grown on the premises in a garden I could see from my table - cherry tomatoes, olives, almonds. Meat, cheese, bread and various vegetables were served in dishes that our group passed around to each other. Prefer steak, chicken, pasta, pizza with wine, so I was surprised how much I enjoyed the food served with the wine tasting here (the Hacienda tasting). ![]() Cool, mellow Sonoma vibe and excellent food. ![]()
