Russian River Road Trip/Decoy Pinot Noir/Chardonnay/Summer Paradise

I recently traveled into Russian River and decided to stay at the beautiful Applewood Inn and Restaurant.I also did a day trip and discovered the wines of Decoy from Duckhorn Wine company.With experience spanning two continents and numerous winegrowing regions, Don LaBorde has established himself as a master of multiple grape varieties. This extensive knowledge, and Don’s enthusiasm and personable nature, take center stage at Decoy, where Don relishes the camaraderie and collaborative approach of working with a world-class winemaking team. Alongside this team, Don makes wines that express their full charm and complexity in their youth, while also offering an unparalleled intersection between value and quality. We tasted the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir and the chefs at Applewood paired these wines up ...A perfect match...Twice!In late 2009, Jimmy and Darryl closed their twenty-five chapter of Applewood’s history and entrusted the care and running of one of the Wine Country’s premier inns to the capable and caring hands of new owners Carlos Pippa and Sylvia Ranyak who are now writing their own chapter of the history of Applewood Inn.
