It was the perfect way to end our tasting. The Black Muscat was also another highlight as I've never had a Muscat with that deep of color and flavor of cherries and strawberries.

I really loved the La Salette wine at Vezer, which is a unique combination of wines, petite sirah and zinfandel, and at 90 dollars a bottle was a real treat, and it's a wine that deliberately ages well, so expect me to pick that one in the near future. Who knew this even existed? But I loved them as well as the salty almonds that came with them. What kept the flavors of each of the wines so strong was we were treated to specialty crackers that cleansed your palette in between wine sips. The tastings included the one white the 2014 Estate Verdelho, as well as the 2013 Cabernet Franc, 2013 Estate Zinfandel, 2011 La Salette, and the 2012 Estate Black Muscat- Franci. They seem to specialize in reds at Vezer, as five of our pours for our tasting were all lovely deep colored reds.

You can't go wrong with a flavor profile like that. Vezer's wines are all aromatic, sweet and bold, with a combination of flavors of from fruits such as berries, cranberries, bing cherries and strawberries. I had only peripherally heard of this region before, but today my friends and I were given a front seat introduction to three of the wineries along the Suisun Valley Road exit off of Interstate 80. It's easy to get them confused, as this one is called the Mankas Corner Tasting Room because it's literally on the corner of Mankas Corner Road, the other is called the Blue Victorian (home to said blue house) and it's just up the street along Suisun Valley Road. This is one of two tasting rooms in the valley owned by Vezer that the public can come to try their wines. A true definition of what a staycation is supposed to be all about. Many people don't even know that this region of wine growing even exists so it's nice to discover hidden gems in the Bay Area. Vezer Family Vineyard is at the epicenter of the wine revolution going on right now in the heart of the Suisun Valley in Solano County.
