Chateau Julien Winemaker in Florence, Italy
04/12/2010

Chateau Julien Winemaker Bill Anderson will bring some of his finest vintages from California to Florence, and conduct a hands-on workshop/demonstration for guests who would enjoy the challenge of creating their own 'California Super Tuscan' wine. Bill has applied his intense knowledge of viticulture over the past 27 years to the myriad of microclimates in Monterey County - one of the richest growing resources for red wine grapes in the world. Sangiovese, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Malbec, are among the varieties that Bill has perfected in both pure and blended formats for Chateau Julien vintages.

Blending wines is not a household project for most wine lovers. The blending concept of the Super Tuscan wine entered the mainstream consciousness of wine connoisseurs all over the world with the Italian release of a 1971 Sangiovese-Cabernet Sauvignon blend in 1978, known as Tignanello.

Experience an overview of Monterey County wines, dining in a vineyard, and participating in a hands-on blending seminar of your own Super Tuscan creation. No better setting exists in the world for a wine experience like this. Invite your wine-loving friends to join you for the wine challenge of a lifetime. Bill will direct you with everything you need; il Salviatino and Florence will embrace you with everything you ever dreamed.

Availability is strictly limited, due to the nature of the wine-blending program.

New Barrel Selected Label
01/25/2010

Wine Estate’s value-tier “Barrel Selected” wine hits market with new upgraded package

The new label signifies the heritage of the Wine Estate, capturing the warmth of old-world traditions and family-owned operations. The label size for all four varietals and Chateau Julien trademarked logo were preserved in the new design for consistency and brand recognition in the marketplace. “We are encouraged by the responses we have already heard with the initial release of the newly labeled Pinot Grigio and are anxious to see the other varietals hit the market. The new package definitely helps to elevate the brand and bring new shelf appeal to the family of wines,” comments Chateau Julien Proprietor Bob Brower. “It also looks very elegant tableside – particularly for a more value-oriented brand.” Merlot, the Wine Estate’s flagship varietal, will be the final release with an estimated April release date.

All four varietals – 2008 Pinot Grigio, 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon, 2008 Chardonnay and 2008 Merlot – will be available for shipment by spring 2010.
