Some buildings are more than buildings—anyone who has visited Tin Cross Vineyards can tell you that. The Old Vic is a stunning residence on our property, which sits upon one of the most scenic spots offered by Tin Cross Vineyards, overlooking the whole of the Alexander Valley. Its foundation was laid down in the mid-1800s [...]
Greetings Readers of Our Wine Story. This is the continuation in a series of posts dedicated to an interview held with Captûre’s Vineyard Manager, Dave Komar. We hope this series will allow you an eye-opening view into Dave’s origin, opinions, and passion for wine.
I know you enrolled in Santa Rosa Junior College for viticulture at [...]
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 [...]
The 2009 Sonoma Wine Country Weekend is as mandatory for a wine lover as harvest is for a winemaker. During the weekend of September 4th through the 6th, more than 150 wineries from each AVA in Sonoma County will pour their wines in one location. This pangea for Sonoma wine occurs on the MacMurray Ranch, allowing enough space for the best of Sonoma County wine to [...]

At 2,450 ft., the tallest part of Tin Cross Vineyards is closer to the sun than almost any other vineyard in Sonoma County, but our mountain’s temperature indicates that’s not such a bad idea.
Our vineyard fruit is [...]
Forbes’ Wines for the Weekend created a video highlighting Captûre Wines, our “Tradition” Sauvignon Blanc, and our winemakers, Denis and May-Britt Malbec. Their coverage truly brought to life the spirit of what we are doing on the vineyard, and so, we are pleased to share it with you. If you are interested in the entire story [...]
2,450 feet. It’s a height that dwarfs giants and supports the most tender beginnings of life on our vineyard. The vines are settled and dormant in the cooler temperatures of Pine Mountain’s scale. The altitude which brings us inspiring views also brings in much cooler air than the type afforded to the valley floor. When [...]
Friday, March 13th marks the bottling of our Sauvignon Blanc and the realization of grapes I had seen start merely as buds. Our lives are much different from the ones grapes lead as we don’t necessarily have one realizing moment that everyone drives us to achieve. But, when that moment arrives in our lives, whatever [...]
In most social circles three is already considered a crowd, but when it comes to our vineyard dogs there is always room for one more. As of a few days ago, the Fosters, owners and residents of Tin Cross, have adopted a new member of the family named Bucchi.
Bucchi is the stuff of pet-store window [...]
