MATHIS

For Grenache fans... I made a guest appearance last week on The Wine Makers podcast.

Tune in to hear four local Grenache Masters: Casey Graybehl, the Grenachista; Peter Mathis from Mathis Wines; Jeff Cohn from Jeff Cohn Cellars; and Dave Mounts from Mounts Winery. Also guesting on the show Sondra Bernstein from the girl & the fig. Listen at: https://radiomisfits.com/twm148/

I'm very excited to be able to support A Better Chance, a non-profit  providing educational opportunities for young adults of color to develop their leadership skills. Learn more in my video and donate at: https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/GivingTuesdayNow or ABetterChance.org

Case order discounts now available through the end of April. After all, we're all working from home and the cellar can run low during these unusual times... See my offer:

 

 

It's difficult to keep the wild critters out of the Mathis Vineyard -- particularly moles and gophers. These little devils like to much on grapevine roots. You can understand why I'd rather not have them here.

Fortunately, Mother Nature provides a natural deterrent: the Great Horned Owl (and several other owl species). They love rodents! And they are great managers of these pests in a wholly natural way.

Take a look at my new addition to the vineyard:

 

 

All pruned up and ready for the 2020 growing season to begin...in another 6-8 weeks. This is a great little video to learn how cordons get extended (particularly if one has died off in a previous season).

 

 

We're here, and we're okay... We hope you are safe as well. But we've certainly seen our share of wildfires in Northern California. Take a look at my video for more information:

 

A quick video of the 2019 harvest kick off. It was a clear, sunny morning in the Mathis Vineyard. Take a look...

And here's a quick look at me running the skid steer. I do whatever it takes to keep harvest rolling along at top pace!

There are not one, but two!, upcoming tasting events at which Peter Mathis will be pouring Mathis Wines this spring! First, Peter and Lost&Found will take over the bar at CADET Wine & Beer Bar in Napa on April 24th. | Details

On that event's heels, Peter will be pouring his newly released 2018 Rosé de Grenache. You may also sip the Best-in-Class/Gold-Medal winning 2015 Grenache. And savor the Gold Medal winning 2014 Über Blend -- all estate wines from the Sonoma Valley Mathis Vineyard -- at The Panel Wine Lounge in Sonoma, on May 15th. | Details

Here are three videos shot over a month's time at the Mathis Vineyard so you can see the coloration of the grapes from mid-July through August.
