Nickel & Nickel 2006 Vintage Premier

Sigel’s-Elite (3209 N. Fitzhugh)

Thursday, September 17th 5-7pm

The wineries dotted along the flat, tidy expanse of the Napa Valley appellation of Oakville are celebrated for producing world-class Cabernet Sauvignon and other varietal wines.  In fact, the region’s vineyards are some of the most coveted in the valley.  The Nickel & Nickel winery, founded in 1997 but born from a tradition of exceptional winemaking, is devoted to creating wines that articulate the singular expressions of the vineyards in Oakville and beyond.

Established by the partners of Far Niente, Nickel & Nickel is based on a philosophy of producing 100 percent varietal, single-vineyard wines that best express the distinct personality of each vineyard.  The winery’s current releases include Napa Valley Chardonnay, Merlot, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon, as well as Russian River Valley Chardonnay, Syrah and Zinfandel. 

Join us on Thursday, September 17th at Sigel’s-Elite (3209 N Fitzhugh) from 5-7pm as Nickel & Nickel Partner/Nation Sales Director Larry Maguire leads us through a tasting of the newly released 2006 vintage. Included in this tasting will be the first release of  two new Cabernets (Kelham and State Lane), their first ever Pinot Noir, Enroute, as well as Far Niente Chardonnay and Dolce.
