WineRelease.com's February 15, 2011 Monthly Newsletter.


Greetings from WineRelease.com, now 1,704 winery listings strong!

Big issue as we cross 1,700 wineries now listed and over 80 winery updates this month...

�Winter� here in California has given us an incredible few weeks of weather and allowed us to enjoy some of the delicious �summer� wines from Wine Release�s sponsors, including Surfrider�s 2008 Edna Valley Sauvignon Blanc, which has turned out to be a very nice pairing with our latest culinary creation, a beet ceviche with champagne vinaigrette, avocado and grapefruit, on a bed of red quinoa.

Our cool San Francisco nights have generated a series of paella dinners with friends (the perfect dish with so many wines). The current house favorite is Dare�s (of Viader) 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon. Rich, berry-filled flavors that are the epitome of a perfect Napa Cab. Last week, we also took a bottle of Dare to Frascati, a great little restaurant in our neighborhood, perfectly paired with their braised octopus salad. Viader has been a longtime sponsor of WineRelease and we appreciate their support over the years, as well as sincerely enjoy their delicious wines.

As a cold front moves into the West Coast this, we�re joining the rest of the country in real winter, and planning even more paella dinners. We�d like to thank all of the sponsors who bring you WineRelease each month.

Attention wineries: If you would like to find out more about our sponsorship program (where we are currently accepting wine), the details are attached.

And now, for the wine......
