As the winery's slogan goes, "If you don't know Foxen, you don't know Dick...or Bill!" Founded in 1986 by Bill Wathen and Dick Doré, Foxen is one of California's Central Coast's most exciting estates, crafting Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and a few other treats from great vines in great places and not much else. As you can taste for yourself when you join us for our next Producer Spotlight at your choice of 30 minute tasting slot on Tuesday, October 15 from 5-7:30.
As Vinous write last year, "Tucked in the hills of Santa Maria Valley, Foxen turns out world-class wines that routinely overdeliver." And the year before they said, "It’s next to impossible to pick favorites in this portfolio, as Foxen does so many things so well...Foxen remains a beacon for artisan quality in Santa Barbara, and the United States, for that matter."
We're welcoming Jenny Doré (Dick's wife and partner) to the tasting table to share Foxen's tale and a really exciting set of wines. You'll taste:
Foxen Chardonnay Bien Nacido Vyd UU Block 2020
Foxen Pinot Noir Santa Maria 2020
Foxen Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills John Sebastiano Vyd 2019
Foxen Pinot Noir Bien Nacido Vyd Block 8 2019 (from magnum!)
Foxen Cabernet Sauvignon Vogelzang Vyd 7200 2019
Note that the Block 8 Pinot was one of the wines of the vintage in 2019 and will shine more brightly still from bigger bottle! As usual there’s no charge for our Producer Spotlight tastings held upstairs around the tasting table, but we do ask that you reserve one of the five 30 minute sessions from 5:00pm to 7:30pm so we can make sure everyone has plenty of time to enjoy and appreciate the wines. By the time your tasting is done, you'll surely know Dick...and Bill, or at least their story and wines.
