About Kukeri Wines
Sourcing Cabernet Sauvignon from Mount Veeder and Pinot Noir from Petaluma Gap, Los Carneros, and the Russian River Valley, Kukeri Wines focuses on small lots that take full advantage of their specific terroir. Named for an ancient Bulgarian rite of Dionysus (god of wine and fertility), Kukeri is the product of Petar Kirilov, from Bulgaria himself. With over a decade of experience since graduating from the University of Food Technologies with a masters in winemaking, Kukeri is Petar’s opportunity to focus on small-lot, high quality wines sourced and showcasing single vineyards.

Twin Pinots

TASTING NOTES:
Petaluma - “…silky in texture and complex in flavor, with black cherry and rose petal, fusing perfectly with an exotic undertone of licorice and vanilla oak. In the glass, bright light red hues, darker to the edge, medium weight on the palate balanced with bright acidity. Long and luscious finish.”

Los Carneros - “…silky in texture and complex in flavor, with dark fruit, boysenberry, plum compote, and strawberry, fusing perfectly with an exotic undertone of anise and vanilla oak. In the glass, bright light red hues, darker to the edge, and a silky-smooth tannin create a soft and luxurious mouthfeel from start to finish, balanced well with a bright acidity.”

TANGENTIALLY RELATED FACT to help you make conversation over this wine:
In 2010, a game titled Deadly Premonition was released by Access Games Inc, featuring an FBI agent traveling to a rural northwestern town to investigate strange murders and face strange dreamlike premonitions. Sound familiar? Well, it isn’t a total copycat, but it was clearly influenced by Twin Peaks in its premise.

DRINK IT FROM/WITH (conventional option):
Standard red glasses, paired with standard red fare.

OR (really-going-with-the-theme option):
A coffee mug courtesy of The Arm, paired with standard Red Room fare.
