Meet winemaker Angela Osborne,
Vintner of A Tribute to Grace Wines!
Soft spoken and elegant, Angela is a perfect reflection of her wines. She was born and raised in New Zealand, and trained under our beloved Nick Goldschmidt (maker of our best selling Cabernet and Chardonnay!) at Simi Winery when she first arrived in the states. It was up in Sonoma where Angela first encountered a delicate and complex locally grown Grenache, and she never looked back.
She now works exclusively with Grenache, and coaxes out the most gorgeous expressions of terroir in each one. Angela named her brand for her grandmother, Grace, who exuded a quiet fortitude and delicacy, and for the element of grace in nature, which for her, shines especially brightly through the medium of Grenache.
Over the years Angela has accumulated rights to quite an impressive collection of vineyard sites around the state from which she crafts the most fragrant, layered, and absolutely stunning wines I’ve tasted in quite some time. Each wine is hand crafted in the tiniest quantities, and we are lucky to get a bit to share with you. Join us Thursday, August 17th and you’ll get to meet Angela and taste her delicious wines!
