Bunter's back!
Our former consulting enologist/winemaker Mark Bunter is back from
a spell on the East Coast and is again helping us make our wines.
We love Mark and missed him while he was gone. Look for some new wines
to be released soon that were finished and bottled under his tutelage.
 Brie's Page
Brie, along with Alexa, are Bill's daughters. Brie is a writer for
Divine Caroline, a website "about every woman
and the bonds that connect us even though we've never met." We've
added a page to highlight Brie's writings on wine and food.
Tulocay Wine Club
Yes, it's here. Finally, after all these years, after much prodding,
berating and cajoling, we have established our Tulocay
Wine Club. Go
here to learn more!
Other News
Alas! We have sold out of the 2002 Nord Family Vineyard Pinot Noir.
But despair not! For we still have a modest supply of the 2001, and
the price remains at a very modest $24 a bottle. Compare that to other
Pinots on the market. (Thank you very much, Alexander
Payne.)
And now for the bad news for you Tulocay Zinheads: We've raised the
price on our 2001 Amador Zin from $18 to $24 a bottle. Why?
Well, for one thing it hasn't been raised since the wine was released
several years ago, and all that while we've had to eat inflation and
inventory costs. And secondly, the wine really has developed nicely,
which just goes to show that Zinfandel, when made properly, does improve
with age.
Of course, we don't have to tell that to our longtime fans and followers,
many of whom have told us how much they've enjoyed 10 and even 20-year-old
Tulocay Zins — not to mention Cabs and Pinots as well!

I talk to them. I have an exchange with them." — Yvonne Hegoburu, Winemaker, Jurançon "Wine is dead. Let's be clear, wine is dead. And not just wine. Fruits.
