Debby on…just for fun.
Posted: September 4, 2007 Filed under: DRambles on Black Mountain Leave a commentIn April 2006 Rick and I, along with Rick’s sister Chris and her husband Herman, took a long weekend trip to San Francisco and spent a day in wine country. Kaz’s very small vineyard was recommended to us by one of the big vineyards. I ended up joining his wine club. This tasty treat was in the last shipment I received. Hey, Kathy, notice the name of the wine…Deevah! I’ll have to share Diva Deva on the blog!
Family Owned and Run
Winemaker/Owner Richard Kasmier, a.k.a. Kaz, is the only full-time employee of himself. He’s supported by his lovely-artistic-creative wife, Sandi, and their two kids, Ryan and Kristin. The Kaz family creates all of their own labels, ads and even this website. Our humble winery/tasting room, in Kenwood, is typically staffed by one of the Kaz’s.
| Notes: Deevah (pronounced as diva) is a beguiling, unusual blend Syrah and Barbera. What else would you expect form Kaz?She has an intense upfront blast of fruit that relaxes with layers of subtle tannins, spices and oak. |
| Pairing Suggestions: Just about any lamb dish, thick stew, or herby grilled vegetables will match up. |
| Stats: Percentages = 67% Syrah from Kaz and 33% Barbera from St. Olof Vineyards Barrels Produced = 3 Alcohol = 13.4% Grapes from: Sonoma County Label by – Ryan Kaz |
