Tinta Roriz
This grape is also known as Tempranillo in Spain and is the only key 'Port' variety that is widely planted outside of Portugal. Tinta Roriz produces large crops that can vary widely in quality depending on the vintage and the vineyard site. Its wines can range from light in body to full bodied with heavy tannins. It is not a grape that makes very good wine on its own but it can be useful when used as a 'spice grape' in a blend.

Chouinard is a little hillside winery located on the Walpert Ridge just west of Pleasanton. Nestled in the East Bay’s wooded hills, sits a California 1930’s vintage redwood barn – the Chouinard winery and Tasting Room. The pastoral setting of the European-style terraced vineyards and the wooded picnic grounds is a charming contrast to the exuberance of the summer Music in the Vineyard series. This little “gem” of a winery produces a dozen wine varieties in small lots. The eclectic selection includes a crisp California Champagne, a well-reputed old vine Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, Alicante Bouschet, and a delectable Orange Muscat. The winery is open for tastings on Weekends from 12pm - 5pm. The winery site can be reserved for special groups and gatherings.
