Orange October!! No, this is not in reference to the beautiful fall foliage or the early Halloween spirit, but instead for the San Francisco Giants’ winning season! As you all know by now, the San Francisco Giants are in the World Series against the Detroit Tigers. Last night’s triumph marked the Giants’ series lead 2-0, for the best in seven games.

You may beg the question: “what is a wine blog doing talking about baseball?” Well, my friend, obvious answer of pure national pride aside, we are a quaint winery focused on the community and any excuse to celebrate. With AT&T Park just an hour south of our winemaking headquarters, it would be hard not to get excited for their local success. The San Francisco Giants’ legacy is rooted in the bay area like our vines and has sprouted victories just like our award winning wine. Let’s just say we love wine region baseball. It is America’s favorite pastime combined with some lovely American wine.

I don’t know about you, but there is nothing more I want to do when I see Pablo “Panda” Sandoval hit a home run then to raise my glass of wine up high and toast to greatness. I’m no certified sommelier, but I’m pretty positive that a Giants game pairs perfectly with Palmeri Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon. So I am here to tell you to put away that warm beer and actually enjoy your alcoholic beverage as the Giants (hopefully) make their way to national victory!

So, cheers to the Gaints! And I sure do hope I didn’t just jinx the series…!

Go Giants!
