Meet the Maker Series: Meadow View Wines with Winemaker Bill English: An Exclusive Tasting Experience

EVENT DETAILSJoin us for a relaxed and educational afternoon dedicated to the art of small-batch winemaking. Local Vines Lafayette is proud to host a special tasting event featuring the acclaimed portfolio of Meadow View Winery and the expert perspective of its craftsman. ​ THE EXPERIENCE: A JOURNEY THROUGH THE LAMORINDA AVA Explore the unique terroir of the Lamorinda AVA through a guided flight of five Meadow View releases. This exclusive lineup includes three fan-favorites from our current menu – the Super-T, Mary Leigh’s Blend, and Cabernet Sauvignon – alongside two special selections not currently on the menu: our local Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. ​ The afternoon will be led by Master Winemaker Bill English, who will provide an insider’s look at our local viticulture. Follow the evolution of flavor through Lamorinda as Bill discusses the specific locations of our partner vineyards and how the shifting microclimates within the region influence the character of each wine. Attendees will learn how slight changes in topography and climate create the distinct "vineyard character" that defines Meadow View. ​ ABOUT MEADOW VIEW WINERY Meadow View Winery is dedicated to the optimum expression of East Bay terroir.
