Emeril Loves Coro Mendocino
On a recent trip to Mendocino County to host a charity fundraiser, international culinary superstar Emeril Lagasse was introduced to Coro Mendocino. Six of the Coro winemakers including Eaglepoint Ranch's Casey Hartlip were able to spend some time with Mr. Bamm and taste him on America's first appellation control wine. Emeril was very impressed at the depth and complexity of the wines and commented how well they would go with food.(L to R: Greg Graziano, Dennis Patton, Dennis Martin, Emeril, Casey Hartlip, Fred Nickel, Bob Swain)
"Coro is Catching"
The Coro logo has inspired two Mendocino County winemakers to adopt the unique design permanently. Fred Nickel of Brutocao Cellars and Casey Hartlip of Eaglepoint Ranch, both founding members of Coro Mendocino, have decided to "put a little skin in the game" and have themselves tattooed. The idea was spawned when Hartlip swore he would get a tattoo of the logo if his blend was approved by the five-member tasting panel.
Coro is one of the only wines in the world that undergoes a peer-review process each vintage. While Nickel hasn't decided if he'll have any additional "work done," Hartlip is vowing to add every vintage his wine passes.
History in the Making
The first release of Coro Mendocino
Americas first appellation control wine. Our version of this exciting blend of Zinfandel,
Syrah and Petite Sirah is now available.
This wine walks the line between a rich
Zinfandel and a lush Southern Rhone blend. Exotic violets and red raspberry
combine with allspice in the nose to tell you this is not just another Zinfandel.
There's so much more going on here. In the mouth the wine has elegance with complex
red fruits, earth, chocolate, smoky bacon with a lingering finish. We feel this
wine has both balance and depth, to go with numerous beef and lamb dishes, yet
rich enough to be served with chocolate desserts.
