I had the day off today so I decided to go to the Kendall-Jackson Winery (about 10 minutes from my house) and take some video of their grounds and their Varietal Garden. This video is of the Winery grounds, I will add the varietal garden in another video.

The Winery grounds includes a varietal vineyard set-up by the local community college ( Santa Rosa Jr. College), Vineyards, a sensory garden, a culinary garden, as well as a seasonal garden. The Kendall Jackson Winery is an excellent place to learn about Wine. The Varietal Vineyard (garden) has about 30 different varietals growing side by side so you check out the suttle and not so suttle differences up close. I will post video of this Varietal Garden throughout the 2009 season to document the growth of each varietal.

The sensory garden features flowers, plants, vegatables & fruits that you would smell or taste while drinking red or white wines.

The Culinary Gardens ( International Cuisine Garden, Vegetable Trial Gardner, and the Culinary Herb and edible flower garden.

If you plan on visiting Napa instead of Sonoma County and would like to visit a Varietal Vineyard similar to Kendall Jackson's you can stop by Pine Ridge Winery on the Silverado trail in Napa.

Drinking the Kendall Pinot right now and I'm not a wine drinker, but I must say it's very-full bodied, the after-taste makes it savory although their Chardonnay Grand Reserve I'm not impressed with. 05 to 08 was sumptuous to the pallet. Since then it tastes like sour apple juice. 05 was the best year for me. It wasn't too sweet, but more or less buttery. I salivated for this wine whenever my ex-wife got it. Grand Reserve bad, Pinot, not so bad, pretty damn good actually.
