This week we’re honoring the recent passing of David Hirsh, California wine legend and viticulturist who shaped the West Sonoma Coast. He passed the first day of harvest, which is heartbreaking but fitting of a man who would still tend to the vines on an ATV with hand controls. He unfortunately developed a taste for Burgundy (same) and was moved in 1978 to purchase a sheep farm high on the wind-swept ridges of the Sonoma Coast. An early proponent of Biodynamic agriculture, he tended the vines for 45 years and made a profound impact on the California wine landscape.
We toast to him with a three or four wine flight, available a la carte or as a tasting.
