As I swirled the wine around inside my mouth and took the first swallow, I turned to owner/winemaker, Bradley Brown, and said, “Wow!”  If I was one of those wine writers who wax poetic with strings of words to describe wine, I would do it here, but I’m not one of those wine writers.  Let’s just say Big Basin Vineyards’ 2008 Coastview Vineyard Syrah is mighty fine wine—like WOW!
A day later, I crossed paths with local wine journalist and consultant, Laura Ness, at Poetic Cellars in Soquel, and said to her, “Laura, yesterday I was with Bradley Brown at Big Basin Vineyards, and I tasted his Syrah.”  With no further prompting, she said to me, “2008 Coastview Vineyard—outrageous!”  Let me tell you, this wine is already developing a fan base, and it’s still in the barrel.
Proprietor and Winemaker
Born and raised in upstate New York, Bradley has been around wine most of his life, starting with memories of his father making wine at home.  As a young adult, Bradley moved to California, worked in Silicon Valley and transitioned from his business development career with Check Point Software to full-time vineyard proprietor and winemaker while still in [...]]]></description>

Did somebody say gourmet food and Pinot Noir? Count me in. Last Sunday proved to be just another reason why living in the Santa Cruz Mountains is so awesome as the annual event Pinot in Paradise took place.
Hundreds of dedicated Pinot lovers attended the sold out event last weekend to pay homage to their favorite wine, and the winemakers made sure they wouldn’t go home disappointed.  Visitors were first greeted at the door and given full sized, Pinot Noir style glasses as the vessel for tasting some of the best wines in the world. When first walking into the room, one can’t help but to ask the question, “Where do I start?” But with each winery in alphabetical order, it was easy to navigate from some old favorites, to new wineries that normally have their doors closed to the public.
Of course, it was easy to be distracted by the abundance of gourmet snacks. Succulent pork belly sliders, stinky duck pate, and tangy Parmesan dipped in honey kept my palate alive and happy as I journeyed through paradise.
