September is California Wine Month, and we are celebrating with another very special wine experience! Join us via Zoom for a virtual road trip through wine country featuring three remarkable California wine industry leaders as they share their stories and their wines —LIVE! We will begin in Napa Valley with Todd Graff of Frank Family Vineyards, then journey to Sonoma County to spend time with Baron Zeigler of Valravn Wines, and finally head south to Ballard Canyon to meet Peter Stolpman of Stolpman Vineyards.
Select any of the wonderful wines from these producers to enjoy during the event! Argonaut carries the following wines: Frank Family Chardonnay, Chardonnay Reserve, Pinot Noir, Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve; Valravn Old-Vine Zinfandel; and Stolpman Para Maria Red, Estate Syrah, La Cuadrilla Red Blend. Choose what you prefer and create your own array of flavors!
The Zoom will begin at 6:00pm MST with a special homage to the Golden State while everyone gets settled. Presentations will begin at 6:15pm. Get to know the people, places, and wines that make California so special. Invite your fellow wine lovers to join along, too!
In addition, as an act of solidarity toward our beloved wine producers and our own neighbors here at home, we are collecting donations to help support people in both Colorado and California that are affected by this year's devastating wildfires. Argonaut will be donating $1 per bottle sold for the event. Another $1 per bottle will come from Maverick Wine Company, and $1 per bottle from the wineries. The event is free, apart from the cost of the wines, but if you wish to contribute more to our fundraising efforts, consider donating any amount that you are able. A single pot is being raised via this Go Fund Me link. Following the event, we will split all donations between the California Community Foundation and The American Red Cross of Colorado in support of people in our communities that are impacted and/or displaced by the fires.

This wine appears light straw in the glass with aromas of toasted brioche, baking spices, and candied lemon rind. On the palate, the Carneros Chardonnay is full-bodied and creamy yet balanced by lively acidity; with nuanced flavors of yellow apple, lemon curd, baked pear, melon, and subtle hints of oak toast.
This ripe and exotic red blend shows deep, ripe red fruits, bold, expressive, and rotund character, all the while maintaining a nice kick of freshness and fun. This wine is not only a crowd pleaser it is a crowd stimulator to smile, toast and enjoy.
