Psst. There is a party that combines fabulous food, people, scenery and wine. The Soquel Vineyards release party is the not-to-be-missed event in the Santa Cruz mountains. Soquel Vineyards is owned by fun loving brothers Peter and Paul Bargetto and their friend Jon Morgan, who operate the winery high up in a beautiful mountain setting overlooking the pacific ocean. It’s an ideal growing region for world-class pinot noir, and they round out their line of wine with pinot noir, zinfandel and cabernet with grapes purchased from selected sites around the state.
More than just another barrel tasting (which, yes, you do get to sample), they treat you with lunch they prepare at the Kennolyn retreat. Just up the mountain from the Soquel Vineyards winery, Kennolyn provides an ideal location to enjoy food and their fabulous wine. The Bargetto’s share an equal passion for food and wine, and their madcap ways set a tone of merriment for all those attending.
While standing in line for my second helping of tri-tip, the guy in front of me asked one of the Bargetto brothers whether he could have a larger helping. Bargetto’s response was “I am not the meat police. Help yourself.” Indeed, we did.
Best, Joe Plonk
