Exploring Merriam Vineyards

Exploring Merriam Vineyards
June 19th 7PM
Host: Peter Merriam
This sit down wine tasting/education event will have Merriam owner Peter Merriam tasting with you.

These wines are produced from grapes grown on the estate vineyards at Merriam Estate and Windacre Vineyard in the Russian River Valley. From the beginning, they have been committed to sustainable farming practices and environmental stewardship. In the vineyard, they allow the vines to thrive by keeping intervention to a minimum so as not to interfere in the natural growing process. The 21-acre estate is certified organic by the California Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF).
About Peter:
Peter and Diana Merriam fell in love with Sonoma County when they first visited in 2000. They soon had the good fortune of purchasing the estate which at the time needed extra care in converting it into a sustainable farm. They immediately began the process of farming grapes with organic and sustainable practices in mind.
With a home in Maine and an office in Boston, the family enjoy a bi-coastal lifestyle, spending time in both New England and California. Peter and Diana have three sons and one daughter; Stefan, Nicolas, Evan and Danielle. Evan is involved in the day to day running of the estate.
The Merriams remain grounded in their vision of exceptional hospitality, sustainable farming, and producing wines inspired by French styles of winemaking.
