Meet, taste with Michael Martini at Sigel's in Addison

Although Napa's Louis M. Martini Winery is part of the Gallo family these days, it's still managed by the Martini family, with grandson and winemaker Michael Martini firmly at the helm. A colorful, sometimes bigger-than-life personality, Michael still makes cabernet sauvignons that are synonymous with California cab. The way he likes to explain it: Once the harvest is in, he picks the recipe (for winemaking) to show off the grapes' best characteristics.

From 5 to 7 this evening at Sigel's Fine Wines in Addison, Martini will lead a tasting through his new releases, from the very affordable Sonoma, Alexander Valley and Napa cabs all the way up to the the 2005 Monte Rosso and 2007 Lot 1 from Cellar 254 (533 cases), made in the micro-winery on the property.

At lunch where I was the guest, we talked about the wines. We also talked about the rattlesnakes at the Monte Rosso vineyard.
