CLEARLAKE OAKS – High Valley Vineyard had a grand opening on Saturday, Nov. 22, for their new tasting room at 13151 Highway 20 in Clearlake Oaks.


There was food, music, and of course, wine tasting.


Owners Dustin and Bobbie Brassfield create a friendly and welcoming atmosphere and treat each guest in a warm neighborly way.


The facility is in a brand new building with a wood shake exterior and a very clean modern interior. The bar has a very striking copper countertop with drop lighting and a small but impressive selection of wine.


High Valley is offering a Cabernet Sauvignon, which won a gold medal at the Orange County Fair. It has a full flavor without strong tannins, and there is a lot of fruit flavor with overtones of chocolate that are very satisfying.


There also was a Sauvignon Blanc being poured which was fermented in stainless steel, and had tart pineapple flavors with a slightly nutty aftertaste.


A new variety for High Valley Vineyard was also being offered, a Fume Blanc. Made from the same grapes as a Sauvignon Blanc, the difference is in the treatment of the grapes. This wine had a soft, clean finish and was sweeter than the Sauvignon Blanc.


For a little more variety they were also presenting a wonderful Pinot Noir from Heart O’ the Mountain Vineyards. It is a very rich flavored wine with a light spiciness to it and some hints of port.


Out on the back patio were picnic tables where visitors gathered around to enjoy the generous plates of food provided by Lakeview Market catering. Nearby were Austin & Owens neo-Flamenco guitarists setting a relaxing atmosphere with their unique style of music.


If you would like more information visit www.highvalleywines.com, call 998-9400, or stop by and visit. Hours of operation are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays, and noon to 5 p.m. on Sundays. The tasting room is closed Mondays.
