Avast ye Scurvy Dogs!
Every year, around the second week of August, a strange sort of malady comes over the members of the Twisted Few. Perhaps a slight eye twitch, an sudden affinity for parrots, a tendency to walk as if on a peg leg, and the occasional "ARRRRRRRR!!" creeping into their speech...
Fortunately this is not a time for folk cures from some grizzled old sod in a back alley apothecary (or antibiotics for that matter)... rather, it's time for that annual barrel-sucking day of debauchery - the Cave Looting!

Tuesdays at Twisted Oak Winery will now be even more Twisted for local residents.

Every Tuesday, residents of Calaveras and Tuolumne Counties - and their guests - can enjoy complimentary wine tasting at Twisted Oak Winery tasting rooms. (Regular cost is $5 per person.)

Just present proof of residency (drivers license, etc.) at either of our tasting room locations:

** Winery Tasting Room, 4280 Red Hill Rd at Hwy 4, between Murphys and Angels Camp in Vallecito

** Murphys Tasting Room, 363 Main Street at Church Street, downtown Murphys

We look forward to seeing you next Tuesday!

The fine print: Offer applies to residents of Calaveras and Tuolumne counties only, and any number of guests. Guests must be accompanied by resident to take advantage of this offer.

Twisted Oak brings home the Gold at the Riverside International Wine Competition

One of our favorite competitions of the year is the Riverside International Wine Competition. The level of competition is high and they pull together an excellent corps of judges. It's especially gratifying when we do well in a competition like this.

This year, two Twisted Oak wines earned top honors:

Twisted Oak Wineries embrace the spirit of giving

For the holiday season bring one canned (non-perishable) food item to either of our tasting rooms - at the winery in Vallecito or in Murphys - and receive complimentary wine tasting (one can per person for tasting, but please bring all you can!) (Pun not intended.)

These food items will be collected by Santa's Express to help local families in need.

For more information, contact Jeff Stai at jds@twistedoak.com or 209-559-0832.

 

 

Twisted Oak Winery boasts wine in top 100 wines of 2012

Twisted Oak Winery is pleased to announce that our estate-grown 2009 Calaveras County "Torcido" Garnacha has earned #50 on the Wine Enthusiast Magazine Top 100 Wines of 2012.

Earlier this year when the 2009 Torcido was given a 93 point score by Wine Enthusiast, reviewer Virginie Boone had this to say:

"What a wine. It tries to intimidate. At first, by its bottle size and alcohol level, but in the glass this 100% Garnacha is like a purring kitten—well a purring 20-pound Maine Coon cat, joyous in its pretty red fruit, and its earthy, meaty, vanilla and cinnamon toast range of goodness. All lush, Twisted Oak’s Torcido is, like a retro soap opera, brave and beautiful."

The 2009 Torcido (which means "twisted" in Spanish) is 100% Garnacha, grown in our estate vineyard located in Vallecito, Calaveras County, California. Garnacha is a Spanish variant of Grenache, and produces hearty reds like our Torcido. Detailed technical info and consumer reviews for the 2009 Torcido may be found on our web site at http://www.twistedoak.com/torcido2009.

Bushwalla - an entertainer for humans - Twisted Oak concert series

Bushwalla,  an acoustic/ Hip-Hop performer rooted in folk, comedy and optimism, will be appearing at Twisted Oak on May 12, 2012 at 7pm for the kick-off concert of the Twisted Oak Summer Concert Series under the stars.

Singer, song-juggler, and self-proclaimed "Original Gangster of Cleveland", Bushwalla represents the assorted talents of Billy Galewood.

Bushwalla began performing in musical theater at the early age of nine. At 18 he was studying theater at the American Musical & Dramatic Academy in New York City, supporting  himself as a street performer by incorporating such feats as juggling, magic, face-balancing, and fire-breathing.  Today, Bushwalla's sound has evolved into a unique blend of acoustic hip-hop, folk, and funk with a soul deeply rooted in authenticity and optimism.
