Taste Robert Sinskey with GM Phil Abrams, Weds., July 17, 5-7pm.

Here at Boulder Wine Merchant, we have always considered the Robert Sinskey winery to be a benchmark for California wines, especially their Vin Gris of Pinot Noir, a bona fide classic in the world of wine today.

Founded in 1988, Robert Sinskey was one of the first growers in Napa to employ organic farming. Today, many in the wine industry point to the winery as the pioneer of “regenerative farming” in the state. What is “regenerative farming”? It means giving back biodiversity to the earth by taking care of the soils with a mind to make them sustainable and healthy. The wines actually do good for the planet while making for better wine.

In 1991, Robert Sinskey began using regenerative farming early on in its development. Back then, there wasn’t even a name for regenerative farming.

“Though it was never enough to just make and sell a product,” writes Bob Sinskey on the winery’s website, “all I ever wanted for Robert Sinskey Napa was to have a sense of purpose while we farmed and made a wine that spoke for itself. We needed to feel we were doing the ‘right thing,’ that we stood for something; that we were conscientious of the potential damage modern farming does to the environment and that we would do everything possible to heal an ailing earth.”

We are thrilled to welcome Robert Sinskey general manager Phil Abrams on Wednesday, July 17, 5-7pm, for our weekly complimentary tasting.

Phil will be pouring and discussing the following wines. Please come out to join us in welcoming one of our favorite California wineries. We hope to see you then!
