De Tierra Winery in Salinas, California sells excellent Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wine - shout out by Ruth Paget
De.Tierra Winery in Salinas, California sells excellent Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wine. These are the two wine grape varietals that also grow in France’s Burgundy region.
We order about two cases per year for delivery to have them on hand for coq au vin, poulet a la moutarde,, and steamed Alaska king crab throughout the year.
They have a tasting room in Carmel for people who would like to sample their wines.
My daughter Florence Paget and I recently snuck a peek at the secluded winery and vineyards in the Corral de Tierra Valley outside town.
De Tierra Winery sits on a hillside off Corral de Tierra Road outside Salinas, California. California magnolias bloom in the foreground. Palm trees of varying sizes line the road up to the winery. Text and photo by Ruth Paget.
