Star Lane Astral Cabernet Sauvignon

Star Lane Astral Cabernet Sauvignon

Tonight we headed out to the Star Lane / Dierberg Vineyard industry open house / one year tasting room anniversary celebration.  The folks at Star Lane / Dierberg really went all out with a beautiful spread of food and wine.  Jason got a glass of Sauvignon Blanc and then headed to the oyster bar.  After that we sampled the lamb pops – which were wonderful with the Syrah.  The quail was very popular too, although I didn’t get a chance to try it as I was deep in conversation with Janeen (from Tre Anelli) and Louise (from Brander) about our recent Sangiovese tasting.  I did manage to taste the Star Lane Cabernet Sauvignon and the Star Lane Astral reserve Cabernet Sauvignon with dark chocolate – wow!    Over the course of the evening, I ran into many familiar faces:  Peter Stolpman and Carol from Stolpman, Rebecca and Peter Work from Ampelos, Chelsea, Angela, Stu, Peggy from Consilience and Tre Anelli, Chris from Alma Rosa and Mo from Foxen.  I left with a few bottles of Syrah, some of the Santa Ynez Valley Cabernet Sauvignon and a couple of the Star Lane Astral Cabernet Sauvignon.   I thank the great people over at Star Lane and Dierberg for such an enjoyable evening!
