The canine mind is an interesting one. Though gifted with a heightened sense of smell, this creature is more than content to waste away its olfactory talents—perhaps most clearly proven by the nose’s role in an unsavory version of our “Hello.” But not Lucca. Casting away these prescribed notions of his lineage, this scrappy champion [...]

We consider it a required trait–the passion we bring to winegrowing is something which carries into everything we do. While 2009 was mainly a year for shepherding our grapes into the finer pastures of fermentation, we filled any leftover time by giving back to projects in need.
Below is a list of just a few of the charitable [...]

You might also recognize Healdsburg for its sophisticated town square, home to vibrant summer concerts and local picnickers. Yet, even with all your knowledge of Healdsburg, what you might not know [...]
It’s with deep excitement that we announce the launch of our Private Connoiseur Tasting Program. Starting in 2010, this program will raise the bar for select wine afficianados, inviting them to an intimate, private tasting that will always involve either Captûre winemaker, Denis Malbec or Benjamin Sharp, owner of Captûre Wines.
We intend for these tastings [...]
Meals are more than food and drink on a table. Beyond the simple matter of silencing a stomach’s pleading growl, there is the mastery of a shared experience which, when properly achieved, can produce flavors of an entirely new level. This was precisely the experience shared by Captûre Wines’ Benjamin Sharp and guests recently at Healdsburg’s Dry [...]
When it comes to Sonoma County, Fall must wait it’s turn. For a while there, the weather had been particularly heated with several days mounting over 100 degrees. However, this great heat was not without its great rewards. As temperatures shot up, so did the sugar levels among all of the red grapes still maturing [...]
