Began as a dream of 2 friends, Ed Selyem & Burt Williams, who pursued weekend winemaking as a hobby in 1979 in a garage in Forestville, CA, and made their first commercial vintage in 1981. Ruby with complex aromas of black & red berries with subtle spice scents. On the palate cherry and strawberry with citrus, cacao, vanilla spice and toasty notes. Aged on French Oak, well balanced, savory, round tannins, lingering nicely ending with some earthy mineral tone, OR style. Has room to age. Very nice! — 7 years ago
Mexican Nebbiolo! This is super interesting. I would never guess it was Nebbiolo but it’s definitely new world! I get the tar but the trademark roses are missing. Yet in their place there is yummy dirt and black pepper and very ripe blackberries. I like. — 8 years ago

This is the Garage Wine Co. 2017 Phoenix Frement. I’ve asked Delectable to add it.
One of the more enjoyable nights we’ve had on the trip was meeting Derek Mossman - Owner/Winemaker of Garage Wine Co. and tasting through 15+ wines at his house and then going out to dinner to enjoy the best two wines. The next day we got up and picked in his Truquilemu Vineyard; which is about 35km from the coast.
Macerated lemon, a little cream, citrus blossoms, underripe pineapple, melon, light chalkiness, passion fruit, guava, white flowers, granite mineral, very good acidity and a rich polished finish.

2014 zichichi garage red. Not the Zin...but a nice petit Syrah mash up. Great, balanced blend. Big, juicy fruit - be an excellent pair for a hearty red meat. Too bad I’m a pescatarian. — 5 years ago
