Jordan Winer News

Jordan Vineyard & Winery has unveiled its 2017 schedule of winery events, featuring two new themed dinner parties in summer, expanded dates for vineyard hikes from spring to fall, harvest lunches and more. Events that are only available to rewards program members are noted.

The finest restaurants in the world welcome guests with a glass of Champagne, and California's Jordan Vineyard & Winery is embracing this tradition for all of its culinary events with the Jordan Cuvee by Champagne AR Lenoble. Debuting this month at Jordan's 'Sunken Treasure' Halloween fete, this special bottling of AR Lenoble non-vintage brut celebrates the shared business values and common winemaking philosophies of both families. The Jordan Cuvee by AR Lenoble will be served at Jordan's dinner parties, exclusive events and Jordan Estate Rewards private meals beginning this fall and will be available for purchase direct from the winery in spring 2017.

Jordan Vineyard & Winery announces the installation of its first apiary, which includes three Flow Hives, a crowdsourcing phenomenon from Australia that broke pledge records when the invention was unveiled last year. According to Flow, Jordan is likely the first U.S. vineyard to get on board, having pledged their support on the very first day of the campaign. At least six U.S. wineries now have Flow Hives in operation, including Sonoma County's Jordan and Lasseter, both of which have made these beehives available for consumers to view. Jordan's first Flow Hive video debuts today.

Veteran Bay Area actor Soren Oliver has seen - and played in - countless productions of Shakespeare, including numerous versions of what is arguably the most popular of the Bard's comedies, 'A Midsummer Night's Dream.'   Midsummer has every device in Shakespeare's bag of tricks, many of which he filched from Greek comedy.  Soren Oliver has created a follow-up play that highlights the best of complex plotting, mixed-up lovers and mind-bending shtick, and peopled it with a cast of experienced Shakespearean actors and a director who really love and understand farce.

HEALDSBURG, Calif., Oct. 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ Estate 1856, a boutique, family-owned and -operated winery in Dry Creek Valley, swept the competition at the 2013 Sonoma County Harvest Fair, winning the coveted Red Wine Sweepstakes for its 2010 Bordeaux Blend. Husband-and-wife team, Brian Schmidt (Vineyard Manager) and Janice Schmidt (Winemaker), accepted the award on behalf of the winery. For those familiar with Estate 1856, the win is not surprising the winery has won gold medals for every wine it has produced since introducing its first vintage in 2009. But when you consider an entry field of 973 wines, which in total earned 174 gold medals, 51 double gold medals, 41 best of class awards and 3 sweepstakes winners, it was a remarkable feat for this small, young winery to have poked its head above such a large group of well-known industry giants to take the top spot.
