Some of my favorites from Mike Smith & Mark Carter
As stated in their email
“We are pleased to announce the long awaited release schedule for ancillary cellar’s 2017 Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays. For this release we are offering two distinct and unique pinots: a racy pinot from the Sun Chase Vineyard and the supple and silky pinot from the Sangiacomo Vineyard. Additionally, we are thrilled to offer two chardonnays this year: from the renowned Sangiacomo Green Acres Vineyard, which many have called “simply stunning,” and a new ethereal chardonnay, from the El Diablo Vineyard, a site planted and farmed by the famed Ulises Valdez family.
As a gesture of thanks to our past supporters, starting Wednesday, September 18th at 9:00 am (Pacific Time), our 2017 wines will be available for purchase by our “Loyal Fans,” those who have purchased from us in the past. The following week on September 25th, the wines will be offered to our general mailing lists. Also, in case you haven’t heard, our previous releases have garnered considerable praise from many critics. Beyond what the critics and press have said, we hope that you have enjoyed the previous Pinots and Chardonnay and are ready and excited to try our 2017 releases.
Thanks for your support of ancillary cellars, we are excited to get these wines into your hands.
Mike Smith and Mark Carter”
