MPI & YOU - A Perfect Pairing: 2017 MPI THCC Celebration & Silent Auction

Sharon Marsh, with Acelity, has donated a vertical (3 bottles) of Talty Wine from 2011, 2012 and 2013. Talty wine comes from dry-farmed grapes grown on a beautiful six-acre vineyard in Sonoma’s Dry Creek Valley. For over one hundred years, the Dry Creek Valley has been home to thousands of acres of cultivated land, five hundred of which are solely Zinfandel grapes. Although Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Merlot grapes can be seen trellised all over the valley, the abundance and quality of the valley’s Zinfandel grapes has led most to consider the Dry Creek Valley, “Zinfandel Country”. Their dry-farmed and head-pruned vines purposely produce a very small crop — approximately two tons per acre. This ensures the intensity and concentration of the fruit from the very start. Once picked, our grapes are fermented by their own natural yeast in small, open-top bins. They are punched down five times per day for the best flavor and color extraction. Valued at $120.
