We have just met Dave Purse as a result of our post wine sales from the Sipping Amador wine dinner. His Willow Creek: Obra Prima was so popular we had to take a trip up and buy extra for the folks.

Our adventure to find the winery was like a Stephen King movie, the Shining...But in a good way! We drove to the end of Willow Creek Road a narrow one lane dirt road, and were met by a goat and remnants of a winery. How very odd considering we spoke on the phone several times....Turns out Dave has moved his tasting room into Jackson at Villa Buscaglia, a perfect location for wine tasting. So, don't follow Dave's map on the website to find him—he will more likely be holding court in Jackson, CA.

Meeting Dave was a pleasure and he pulled out a bit of everything for us to try. Leaning far more to the whites than the reds I thought I would be disappointed as Dave only has red in his repertoire, but I was pleasantly surprised at how drinkable his reds were. Victor particularly enjoyed a wine that is 100% Cab Franc, a very hearty wine, and we have committed to pouring this wine in our first month of the wine tasting room.

After nearly an hour of getting to know each other, we made a commitment to share in a wine dinner together. Dave was such a fun person and very passionate about his wines. I think our Groveland audience  and Yosemite travelers alike will love his hand crafted wines. April 26th was set as the date and a new marketing campaign begun.

Willow Creek Winery Menu:

  • A walk around happy hour type starter tba

  • Course 1: Petite paella tapas (rice, shrimp, scallops)

  • Course 2: Wilted spinach salad

  • Course 3: Rack of Lamb with port reduction, green beans & roast potatoes

  • Dessert: Raspberry crepe, paired with Dave's delicious port!

  • Coffee/Tea, tax and tip included

Our Willow Creek winemaker's dinner will be a big event and as we get closer to the date we will have Dave and Nicole work together to set up the best pairings for his collection of wines and our menu. Guests will enjoy not only Dave's company, but 5 of his wines and 5 courses. Delicious! Priced at $65 per person.

Besides the dinner on Sunday, Dave will also host a wine reception that afternoon, Sunday, April 26th from 3:30 to 4:30. This will be a few of his wines and some Light Bites from our kitchen, $12, tax included.

Consider a one night package deal of $299 per couple or (al a carte pricing). This includes:

  • ($123)   A night in a traditional queen bedded room, with DISH TV, breakfast, free calls in the USA and WiFi

  • ($24) Participation in the afternoon reception

  • ($130)  A 5 course, 5 wine paired dinner

  • ($20) Entry pass to Yosemite National Park the next day

  • ($36) Picnic Lunch with wine to take to Yosemite

All taxes and tips included for two people, in parentheses are the al a carte prices should you wish to join us only one or two of the options instead of the whole program.

Guests will be able to add a Monday night bed and breakfast for $99. If adding Saturday night, that will price at our regular rate, $123. Rooms are going to be available on a first come first served basis. Folks who like a bigger room with more amenities can upgrade for $35 a night, those traveling in a group might prefer a vacation rental house. We have lots of options should we run out of rooms at the Hotel Charlotte.

Glass Class with Rebeca. Now we know! So, one night per couple: $299 or get big savings, stay Monday too—just $398. Guests who stay Mondays are in for a great big treat with our custom Dinner &  Trivia night or enjoy the fare offered by our one of our neighbors.

Our House Photograpaher, Terri Metz will be rolling out her new spring show on this date and will be onsite with her Sierra Spring 2009 collection, special discounts and matted little pictures, one free with the purchase of a larger picture. Do...Join us!
