To our fans and regular customers:
We have sold out of the 2001 El Dorado County Syrah
but have made available — in response to popular demand — the
remainder of the 2001
Sierra Oaks Vineyard Merlot at
the recession-driven sale price of $12 per bottle.
Just so you
know, this is not your grandmother's Merlot. Harvested from a
high elevation vineyard in the Sierra Nevada foothills, this wine has
been described as "Merlot on steroids."
To see a complete list of Tulocay wines, our price list
is here. To view our recently released
offerings go to Our
News.
And, oh yeah, new customers can buy the 2001 Merlot for
$12 too. What a great introduction to Tulocay wines!

The Tulocay Story
Few
wine connoisseurs realize that Tulocay is one of the oldest wineries
in Napa Valley. Founded in 1975, Tulocay has been acknowledged
by Napa Valley insiders and old timers as having a style that represents
Napa before it became "Beverly Hills-ified".
While many wines around the world
today are made in the same so-called international style,
Tulocay wines are crafted by traditional methods that reflect
the character of the individual vineyard as expressed by the winemaker.
They are wines meant to be an integral part of the meal. And
many are wines created to be consumed in the future (global climate change
permitting) as well as appreciated for their youthful forcefulness in their
youth.
Like art, film, literature and politics, wine is an individual taste. One
can seek out the highly rated and well publicized wines. That's fine. But how
many really express art versus those that are simply manipulated to
garner high scores in wine publications or from highly publicized wine gurus
whose initials are R.P.?
This is a question that you, the wine drinker, must decide.
A note from Skippy, our Chief Cellar Rat...
If you're looking for White Zinfandel, mass-produced Merlot, or sweet,
fruity Chardonnay, go away.
But if your taste tends toward kick-out-the-jambs Cabernets, Zinfandels, Syrahs and Merlots, you've come to the right place.
We also make svelte, subtle, Burgundy-style
Pinot Noirs and very classy, unique Chardonnays.
Tulocay Winery has been around since 1975.
But not many people have heard about Bill Cadman, its owner and my boss.
That's 'cause he believes the wine should reflect the essence of the
vineyard and the philosophy of the winemaker, not the latest innovation
of the marketing department or the bottom line of Wall Street financiers.
Peruse our website. Check out the wines.
If you have any questions, just give us a call.
Chances are the guy who answers the phone is the boss himself.
