Non- Alcoholic Brews
Budweiser Zero
An alcohol free brew with the taste of Budweiser. Only 50 calories & zero grams of sugar, for those who are looking for less alcohol.
Guinness Zero
The Guinness with everything except the alcohol. Guinness 0.0 boasts the same beautifully smooth taste, perfectly balanced flavor, and unique dark color of Guinness, just without the alcohol.
To create Guinness 0.0 the St James’s Gate brewers, start by brewing Guinness exactly as they always have, using the same natural ingredients; water, barley, hops, and yeast; before gently removing the alcohol through a cold filtration method. The cold filtration process allows the alcohol to be filtered out without presenting thermal stress to the beer, protecting the integrity of its taste and character. The brewers then carefully blend and balance the flavors to ensure the distinctive flavor profile and taste characteristics of Guinness.
The resulting product is a stout that is unmistakably Guinness, just without the alcohol, featuring the same dark, ruby red liquid and creamy head, hints of chocolate and coffee, smoothly balanced with bitter, sweet and roasted notes.

Brewing a great tasting 0.0% alcohol-free beverage. Is it even possible? Yes.

Cline Ancient Vines Red Blend
” This is our version of a GSM (Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre) with extra special splashes of a couple of varietals that we love. Sourced from some of our oldest vines in Contra Costa, predominately own-rooted and dry-farmed, the wine brings all the flavor and freshness of California grapes with a distinctly old-world vibe. A perfect marriage of boysenberry, blackberry, plum and chocolate with mouth-watering acidity and succulent tannins lead into an irresistibly long finish.”

Groth 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon
The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon shows off a beautiful dark cherry color in the glass with aroma notes of plums, dried cherries, and toasted hazelnuts.

One of the great wines from one of the Napa Valley’s ripest and most balanced vintages, the 2012 Groth Cabernet Sauvignon is 100% satisfying from start to finish. The wine shows loads of red and blue fruits in the flavors, a touch of oak and excellent firmness in the finish. Pair with a medium rare filet mignon and enjoy. Drinking pretty well now.

This structured wine is lithe and ethereal in dried herb and cranberry, with a hint of pencil lead. Puckering tannins suggest aging through 2020, to draw out the more succulent layers of black cherry and plum.

Vina Robles Cabernet Sauvignon 2020
All of these vineyards produce Cabernet Sauvignon with an overall balance of expressive flavors and structure. All the blocks were picked in the early morning to ensure quality and integrity of the berries. The fruit was further sorted at our state-of-the-art winery, gently destemmed, optically berry sorted and crushed into temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Pump overs took place regularly to enhance color and help extract tannins from the skin. The wine was aged in French, American and Hungarian oak barrels for added nuances and complexity. After 8 months of aging and extensive blending trials, a bit of Petit Verdot was added to enhance structure. The final blend was then aged in barrels for an additional 12 months to fully integrate before bottling.
The fruit for our 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon was selected from three of our estate vineyards in Paso Robles – Creston Valley, Huerhuero and Bear Valley. Huerhuero Vineyard, in the hilly terrain between the El Pomar and Geneseo Districts, benefits from the moderating Pacific breezes and limiting calcareous subsoils. Creston Valley Vineyard has picture perfect high terrain, southern exposure and shallow soils with noticeable granulated limestone. Bear Valley Vineyard is located 14 miles from the Pacific Ocean and has high elevations, which produces small, flavorful berries.

Plenty of blackcurrant with dark chocolate and coffee character. It’s full-bodied, yet the tannins are succulent and rather weightless, giving a velvety texture at the end. So delicious now. Hard to wait. In fact, not necessary. Drink or hold.
92 Wine Spectator
A polished and inviting style, with warm cassis and gently mulled plum fruit flavors gliding through atop pretty mocha, singed vanilla and loam accents, while a gentle savory echo adds range through the finish. Approachable now, but there’s no rush. Drink now.
90 Wine Enthusiast
Approachable in style and affordable in price, this wine impresses in its offerings of dried cherry, plum and tobacco, the oak toasted and well-integrated into the mix. Expansive and full-bodied on the palate, it has length and breadth and is enjoyable young.
90 Wine & Spirits
This wine needs some time in a decanter to move from char to cherry, giving up the black-walnut scents of its oak for clean, rich dimensions of fruit. The tannins end on bitter chocolate, for roast beef. Best Buy
Flowers Pinot Noir Rosé
This Rose of Pinot Noir is elegant and distinct, with bright notes and an uplifting acidity reminiscent of our signature, coastal expressiveness.
Elegant and distinct, with aromas of peach, strawberry and subtle hints of rose petal. Bursts of fresh citrus colorfully drive the palate and are balanced with flavors of nectarine and stone fruit.

Flowers Winery
From the initial plantings more than 30 years ago, Flowers Vineyards & Winery has been inspired and defined by the Sonoma Coast.
Among the first to see the potential for growing world-class Pinot Noir and Chardonnay along the fog-shrouded Pacific Ocean, we have refined our understanding of our estate properties with each passing vintage. Sometimes referred to as the “far” Sonoma Coast, our rugged, windswept vineyards represent extreme viticulture in the pursuit of crafting wines representative of time and place.
Working in agricultural isolation on the edge of the coast, just north of the town of Jenner, is done with a very specific goal in mind…to present a pure expression of one of the world’s truly exceptional places to make wine. Our organic practices emphasize our approach as stewards of the land, resulting in healthier vines and higher quality soils. Our commitment to stewardship along with our organic and biodynamic farming practices have been unwavering constants of our winemaking philosophy since our inception.
