Hella Chenin: The Wines of Craig Haarmeyer
We are over the moon excited to welcome Sacramento-based winemaker and Chenin Blanc enthusiast Craig Haarmeyer to Vintage Berkeley on Vine street!
Craig is the ORIGINATOR of the Sacramento Terroir... yes, believe it or not, terroir doesn't just come from Napa here in California... and we'll have him in our yard to tell you all about it. He'll be here pouring some of our absolute favorite Cali wines--organically farmed, minimal intervention, natural wines that make a strong argument for his belief in Sacramento terroir.
Terroir is one of those big words in wine. It's the main contributor to what ends up in your glass--the combination of effects on vines from geographic location, climate, soil, microbes and farming. It's what provides grape vines their home, and what gives wine a sense of place to transport us around the world when we taste. Craig started making wine in 2008, and his passion for the grapes and terroir of the Sacramento delta area is apparent--it's his home, the focus of his winery and is based largely on the classic grape of the region, Chenin Blanc.
Craig recently branded himself as a wine snob, but he is anything but
.
In addition to being one of the most badass winemakers around, he's also one of the nicest. A champion for the new generation of winemakers, and a collaborator in everything he does, we've been honored to work with Craig's wines for years.
