About Kautz & Kramer: “Kautz & Kramer represents a culmination of a lifetime of passion and dedication. John Kautz, the son of hardworking German immigrants grew up on his family farm in Lodi, California. His parents moved to the U.S. in search of the “American Dream” and purchased a small parcel of land. Gail Kramer, the daughter of a lawyer and English professor, was born in California. John & Gail were married in 1958. Together, they grew their family farming operation and helped pioneer premium wine grapes in Lodi.”

TASTING NOTES:
Cabernet Sauvignon - “Bright aromas of crème Brule vanilla, followed by flavors of ripe plum, cranberry, olive tapenade and a hint of white pepper and eucalyptus.

Cabernet Franc - “Bright aromas of black cherries and fresh currants that are followed by flavors of vanilla bean, nutmeg, fig and a hint of black licorice. The middle is supple and rich with a blackberry-raspberry finish that is full and lingering.” (AbV 14.71%, pH 3.38, TA 6.7 g/L, RS 3.1 g/L)

THAT REMINDS ME OF: Cosmo Kramer.

Most people just know him as Kramer. The weird guy living in Jerry’s building. Well, one of the weird guys in his building. Yes, Kramer is one of the main characters in Seinfeld, an eccentric with wild, upright hair and an old-school fashion sense.

Having no clear occupation, he somehow makes do, perhaps with his strange but occasionally successful ideas. For example, a coffee table book about coffee tables that can itself become a coffee table. Stubborn, neurotic, and a mooch, he is also generally a Good Samaritan, honest and upfront with people. And weirdly good at charming people despite being so, well, weird. Unlike the rest of the cast, he is even friends with Newman, though they still get into plenty of conflicts.
