Description
Join us for a special event at Louie's Wine Dive as Frog's Leap founder John Williams shares their philosophy on wine: "Time's fun when you're having flies."
Featuring 5 wines from their Napa Valley vineyards, with a special treat as John speaks about the winery he has built.
We will be tasting Frog's Leap Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Merlot, Zinfandel, and the Estate Grown Cabernet Sauvignon. Pairings prepared by Chef Thomas Pelkey.
Believing that a grapevine should be grown in healthy soil that supports all the nutrient needs of the plant, Frog's Leap has been farming organically since 1988. They also believe that most of the great and historic wines of the world have been made from non-irrigated grapevines, and to that end Frog’s Leap farms all of its vineyards without irrigation.
John says it best:
For more than 25 years we’ve been well known for our advancement of the principles of organic grape growing, dry farming and many aspects of biodynamics. It would be understandable for one to attribute our actions to a deeply held political agenda or, quite the opposite, to a thinly veiled marketing plan. While both are fair assumptions, neither are true. In point of fact, it has always been wine quality that drives our farming choices.
Arriving in the Napa Valley in the early 70s afforded me the opportunity of mentorship under some of our greatest winemakers. These men, and the wines they produced, profoundly influenced my own desire to make wines that adhere to three basic principles–balance, restraint and respect for terroir. I believe these characteristics are the indisputable product of the vine itself and are an expression of the deep connection to the soil and environment in which it lives.
We look forward to celebrating these vineyards for years to come.
