A few weeks ago we went out to Three Fox Vineyards with the wine club. Three Fox has a very Italian theme and their wines reflect that. They offer two Sangioveses a regular (Il Volpe) and a reserve (Il Signor). The reserve is made from 100% Sangiovese, while the regular is a blend of Sangiovese and Cabernet Franc.
Between the two, I actually preferred the Il Volpe. the two varietals blended surprisingly well and created a spicy wine with a nice chocolate finish. They also had a good Cabernet Franc and a Chambourcin that was done in a port style.
The grounds are very impressive with several places to picnic, including a bench at the top of the hill that looks over the vines. It is definitely worth the trip out there.

I'll hand it to you: that place looks like it's the ginchiest! Now, if they really want to draw in the proles, they'll start dressing up 3 of the staff in musty, disturbingly anthropomorphic fox suits and have then wander the grounds making vague, stilted pantomime gestures that will serve to aggravate the guests. Remember, there's no such thing as bad publicity!
I like that idea!! I've alwayswanted a fox to pour my wine :)
