Dry Creek Passport Weekend - Day 2 - Winery 4: Mauritson Wines

This was our first visit to Mauritson. I have to admit by the time I got here, I couldn't face eating any food but found some very enjoyable wines. In addition, we enjoyed a little respite sitting in the adirondack chairs on the lawn.

Wine and Food Pairings:

• 2008 Mauritson Sauvignon Blanc, Dry Creek Valley
  Panko and Sesame Crusted Wild Shrimp
• 2007 Rockpile Zinfandel, Rockpile Ridge Vineyard (Wine Enthusiast 90 Points)
  Zinfandel Braised Short Rib Sliders from Painted Hills Natural Beef
• 2007 Rockpile "Buck Pasture" Red Wine
  Bittersweet Chocolate Caramel Tartlets

And the 2007 Rockpile Syrah, Madrone Spring Vineyard was being poured in the tasting room.
