Dan Michael, the winery's Sales Manager, greeted us all with a wonderful glass of William Hill Chardonnay which we enjoyed in the hot sun. We all chatted and enjoyed the view from the patio (a few ground squirrels made an appearance).
Next, Dan gave us a tour of their newly refurbished tasting room, as well as premiering William Hill's new label design.
We headed back outside to the property's arbor area, where we had some salami, olives and of course, more wine! We then tasted the estate-grown Cabernet Franc, which was great.
The group was then invited to enjoy some Cabernet Franc grapes off of the vine, which are almost ready for harvest (2-3 weeks) and learned about sugar content.
We did come to the property for a meeting, so we began to talk business. The setting was perfect for an introduction of each tour director to our new staff at Viviani.
While enjoying the property's Malbec varietal, we enjoyed talking about such business matters that much more.
We ended the evening with a sunset over the vineyards and enjoyed a cupcake from Kara's Cupcakes in downtown along with a late-harvest Chardonnay to leave us on a sweet note.
Thank you so much Dan and your team for hosting us at William Hill!

"glass of William Hill Chardonnay which we enjoyed in the hot sun. We all chatted and enjoyed the view from the patio" Isn't that what wine is all about? What other beverage can compete?
