Dear Wine Lover,

When we met Bryan Kane, Owner and Winemaker of Vie Winery last year we were impressed with how excited he was about making wine. Vie Winery makes high quality, limited productions lots of Rhone varietals and Zinfandel wines from many of the finest vineyards in California. The results are wines that offer a balance of flavor and structure, making them as enjoyable today as they will be with age. Bryan Kane will be pouring and answering questions both Friday and Saturday.

*Notes from the Winemaker*
2005 Vie Winery Beatty Ranch Howell Mountain Napa Valley Zinfandel $37.99
Our 2005 Beatty Ranch Zinfandel is a well-balanced zinfandel with blackberry and black cherry cola fruit which is common for this site. The wine hints of white flowers and spice on the palate with a long finish supported by hints of vanilla and asian spices. Enjoy this wine over the next 3-4 years.
2005 Vie Winery L'Etranger Sonoma County Zinfandel $37.99
Our 2005 L’Etranger is a blend of 60% Zinfandel, 35% Syrah (from Las Madres Vineyard) and 5% Petite Syrah (from Eaglepoint Ranch). This wine combines the spicy peppery flavors and up-front blueberry, blackberry, and raspberry fruit of Zinfandel with the mid-palette weight of a Syrah and the tannins and structure of Petite Syrah. Enjoy over the next 3-4 years.
2005 Vie Winery L'Imaginaire Santa Barbara County Grenache $37.99
Our Grenache, “L’Imaginaire”, exhibits finesse, subtitle characteristics, and structure rivaling that of a great Pinot Noir. This wine has a bouquet of blackberry and blueberry liqueur with a hint of pepper and minerals. We threw in a bit of Mourvèdre and Syrah to keep it true to the style of the Southern Rhone region of France. Enjoy this wine over the next 5-7 years.
2005 Vie Winery L’Iuntruse Santa Barbara County Mourvèdre $38.99
L'Intruse (The Intruder) appears subtle and unobtrusive at first sip but quickly proves itself worthy of your attention. This blend of Mourvèdre and Grenache from the Alta Mesa Vineyard with a bit of Syrah from the Thompson and White Hawk Vineyards exhibits notes of blueberry, blackberry and white flower on the nose. In the mouth it shows concentrated black fruits, truffles on the palette and a long, sustained finish. The intruder is here to stay. Enjoy this wine for the next 5-7 years.
2005 Vie Winery Les Amours Santa Barbara County Syrah $41.99
“Les Amours” is a blend of Syrah from the Thompson and White Hawk Vineyards with a little Mourvèdre from the Alta Mesa vineyard for structure. This wine is opaque black/purple color and smoky, fried bacon Syrah bouquet. On the palate it shows powerful blackberry fruit and a slight barbecue and pepper spice with a full-bodied structure that finishes long in the mouth. Enjoy this wine for up to 10 years.
2006 Vie Winery Round River Ranch Lake County Roussanne $28.99
Our 2006 Roussanne is modeled after those of classic Chateauneuf-du-Pape Blanc wines from the Southern Rhone region. Utilizing both protective and oxidative processing in the wine making, we strive to get the old world feel without losing the freshness and the fruit. Following our philosophy of minimalist intervention, we neither filtered nor fined this wine. One of our favorite alternatives to Chardonnay, this Roussanne exhibiting great intensity with extraordinary elegance and a viscous nose of honeyed caramel, pineapple, and apricots with a backbone of mineral nuances.
2006 Vie Winery Belle-Amie Santa Barbara County Rosé $16.99
Beauty is universal. Friends are special. The symmetry of the unique beauty of each friend is what enriches our lives. With our rosé, Belle-Amie, we embrace this philosophy exhibited in this classic dry rosé made from Mourvèdre, Grenache and Syrah. With crisp acidity and full-bodied mid-palate, it’s perfect to drink with friends on a warm summer day. Enjoy this wine over the next 1-2 years.
