Please join the Rossmoor Wine and Food Society on Thursday, October 6, 2022, for a visit to Williamson Wines in Healdsburg. Dawn and Bill Williamson immigrated to California in 1980 and found California wine country. They came here from Australia - it was just a business trip - and then they found the valleys of Northern California - and stayed! The family owns, leases and has maintained sustainable farms over fifteen vineyards throughout Napa and Sonoma Counties. They produce over forty small limited releases of natural wines each year. The wine portfolio includes several sparkling wines and a wide range of white, rose and red wines produced in single vineyard, single varietal lots as well as a range of traditionally blended wines.
We will be greeted with a complimentary Sparkling Wine upon arrival. Our lunch will feature a four course gourmet meal prepared and served by the winery and paired with Williamson wines as follows:
- Desire Rose - a fruity, dry rosé produced from a combination of Atlas Peak Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc, the very same fruit that is used to make reserve wines
- Allure Meritage - intense crimson color; subtle bouquet notes of fig, blackberry, raspberry, and hints of violet. Blessed with superb balance, an incredible combination of richness and delicacy, freshness and concentration
- Clarissa Vin Rouge - dark ruby color, beautiful, heady, complex aroma, dusty Cabernet in the mouth with an incredible, balanced cornucopia of dark flavors, licorice, blackberry, walnut and sultana, very alive and totally in control
- Sultry Cabernet Franc - few varieties on Earth are as recognizable as Cabernet Franc. With its fine texture, its mid-level depth and pungency there are very few bottled as single varietals as we have done with Sultry
