Ralph & Carol Myers
Carol and Ralph have been wine club members for almost a decade. Back in the day, they had made the trip to visit the Williamson fruit stand to purchase local apricots when they spied the tasting room right next to the packing shed. According to Carol: “Of course we had to go in for a tasting. This is where our love for Williamson wines began. We both favor red wines, but on this occasion, we tasted their Viognier. We’ve been huge fans ever since and haven’t tasted a Viognier we like better. After the tasting we decided to become wine club members.”
It’s always a treat for us to see the Myer’s come through out door! We know we’ll get to “geek out” with them over food and wine pairings. Ralph and Carol are always up to some new culinary exploration. These culinary hobbyists have experimented with everything from fermentation, beer making, sourdough bread making, to building a pizza oven in their back yard.
We’re always hungry after a hearing about their latest creations! “We often create tasty pasta dishes or crank up the wood fired oven for pizza that all go so well with the Williamson Sangiovese. It’s one of our favorites and when we buy a case, so there’s always some Sangiovese on the list.” They’ve gone full urban farmer and enjoy, “tending to our large garden, edible landscape plantings and raising sheep and laying hens.” They raise a plethora of goodies, “fresh basil, eggplant, tomatoes, onions, peppers and our grass-fed lamb.”
“We always enjoy driving out to Williamson Wines to pick up our wine, have a tasting and visit with the wonderful employees and Williamson family members. We look forward to many more memorable occasions where we sit down to share good food and wonderful Williamson Wines! “
We couldn’t have said it any better! Ralph & Carol always remind us to experiment and enjoy the process of making food. Not to mention the importance of celebrating that good food with good wine! Thank you for being such loyal and lovely part of our wine club family!
Cheers!
