Join us as we welcome Matt Mitchell and sample some of the best offerings from the extensive Wine Portfolio of Jess Jackson. In the past 25 years, Jackson has gone from being an obscure and struggling winery owner (Kendall Jackson) to one of the dominant players in the California Wine industry.
Today, Jackson Wine Estates operates 24 wineries and vineyards around the world, selling 5 million cases of wine a year! All of our offerings are rated above 90 points. Cambria “Julia’s Vineyard” Pinot Noir earned “93″ points and was named Wine Enthusiast’s #1 Wine of the Year! We open with a La Crema’s “90″ rated Chardonnay and our Cabernet course pits the “93″ rated Kendall Jackson “Hawkeye Mountain” versus the “92″ rated Arrowood Cabernet Sauvignon. Another great California lineup you do not want to miss!
