I did a little digging, and have come up with some possible vineyard sites that may go into Twitter’s “Fledgling” wine label, set for bottling in August 2010.

PINOT NOIR

  • Amber Ridge Vineyard, Russian River Valley, Sonoma, CA
  • Bohemian Vineyard, Russian River, Sonoma, CA
  • Brosseau Vineyard, Chalone (Monterey), CA
  • Doctor’s Vineyard, Santa Lucia Highlands, Monterey, CA
  • Hook Vineyard, Santa Lucia Highlands, Monterey, CA
  • Floodgate Vineyard, Russian River, Sonoma, CA
  • Hayley (Annahala) Vineyard, Anderson Valley, Mendocino, CA
  • La Encantada Vineyard, Santa Rita Hills, Santa Barbara, CA
  • Lone Oak Vineyard, Santa Lucia Highlands, Monterey, CA
  • Split Rock (Gap’s Crown) Vineyard, Sonoma Coast, CA

CHARDONNAY

  • Alder Springs Vineyard, Mendocino, CA
  • Durell Vineyard, Sonoma Coast, CA
  • Split Rock (Gap’s Crown) Vineyard, Sonoma Coast, CA

Now this is all speculation at this time, but I’ll keep everyone posted as I learn more ;)
