December 31, 2010 marked the 50th wedding anniversary of our dear friends, Bill & Sally Hambrecht. Not only are they the founders of Floodgate, Alysian’s Estate Vineyard, but also of Bradford Mountain, which produced the grapes in Gary’s 2006 Zinfandel that earned 95 points, Editor’s Choice – Wine Enthusiast Magazine. We wouldn’t miss being part of the celebration – a small dinner in the CA mountains prepared by star chiefs Loretta Keller and Traci Des Jardins. The exceptional menu included braised beef short ribs and mushroom risotto. Check out these labels!
