PAIRINGS
Pamo Valley Winery 2010 Merlot
With our 2010 Merlot, I prefer a relatively lean Sirloin steak, fairly thick (at least an inch), with any fat trimmed off.
Mustard Coated Steak (Serves eight)
- 1 Cup: Mustards (clean out the fridge and use up part jars of prepared, whole-grained and Dijon-style, etc.)
- 1/4 Cup: Olive oil
- 2 Tsp. Each: Dried or fresh oregano, thyme, rosemary and basil
- 4 Garlic cloves: Minced and crushed (more garlic is always better)
- 2 Steaks: 2 pounds each
Combine mustards, oil, herbs and garlic. Thickly coat the steaks with the mixture and refrigerate overnight. Remove from the refrigerator about 1 hour before cooking. Prepare a barbecue and grill over a hot fire for 5 minutes or so on each side until medium rare. Remove to a cutting board, cover with aluminum foil, and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing across the grain and serve immediately.
JJJ 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon
Typically when one is presented with a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon, the first thought that comes to mind is steak. Au contraire – try it with Chocolate!
Hot Fudge Pudding (Serves nine)
Heat oven to 350°.
Blend the following in a bowl:
- 1 Cup: All-purpose flour
- 2 Tsp.: Baking powder
- 1/4 Tsp.: Salt
- 3/4 Cup: Sugar
- 2 Tbsp.: Cocoa
Stir in:
- 1/2 Cup: Milk
- 2 Tbsp.: Salad oil
- 1 Cup: Nuts, chopped (walnuts, pecans)
Spread in a 9-inch square pan. In a small bowl blend:
- 1 Cup : Brown sugar
- 1/4 Cup: Cocoa
Sprinkle sugar mixture over top of batter. Pour 1 3/4 Cups of hot water over all. Bake 45 minutes. Serve warm or cold with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Our One-Year Anniversary Party: A Success!

Introducing Our Newest Wine: Little Early One
We’re excited to announce the latest addition to our wine family: Little Early One!
Vibrant aromas of plum synchronize with savory spices and roasted nuts. Flavors of strawberry-cherry jamminess, and cloves, build into violet, and dried apricot, and are followed by a polished finale of honey and fig.
Paris well with pasta, pizza, barbecued or smoked meats, and Mexican food.
Tempranillo [Temp-ra-knee-oh] is a famous Spanish grape variety used in many rich Spanish red wines. Primitivo [Pri-mi-tì-vo], originating in Greece and transported into Italy, is genetically the father to the well-loved Zinfandel grape. Both varietals need only a short growing season and their early ripening tendencies are the source of the name “little early one.”
An Anniversary You Won’t Want To Miss!
One year ago, we opened up the Pamo Valley Winery Tasting Room. Can you believe it’s been a year already?!

Stop by this Sunday, June 10 between 11AM and 8PM to celebrate with us! We’ll be serving refreshing sangria and delicious cake, along with live music and prize drawings!

Introducing Silver Award Winning – 2011 “Jenn’s Choice” – Available April 6th, 2012!
“Jenn’s Choice”
With just over 200 acres in all of California, Orange Muscat is rarely seen here. It was once grown in France and there are some small plantings in Italy and Australia. Viognier (vee-ohn-YAY) is best known as the only permitted grape in the French wine region of Condrieu. Growing in popularity, it is the most planted white Rhone varietal in the United States.
Our small lot, handcrafted off-dry Orange Muscat/Viognier blend offers a flavor filled white wine with a satisfying creamy mouth feel. Harvested at night, whole cluster pressed and fermented at cool temperatures, this wine delivers delicious orange creamsicle, apricot, honey and floral peach aromas that will greet your senses. On the palate are rich flavors of bright guava and honeydew melon following hints of tropical fruit with a luscious vanilla cream background. Serve chilled. Pairs well with: This wine has a bit of sweetness and will pair well with summer salads tossed with goat cheese and dried cranberries or with desserts such as cheesecake or creme brulee.
