IN THE BARREL OR IN THE BOTTLE, THESE BOYS ARE ON MACCHIA’S MOST WANTED LIST. HAVING ALREADY SOLD ONE-HALF OF THE BAD BOYS WHILE THEY WERE STILL IN THE BARREL, NOW THAT THEY ARE BOTTLED MACCHIA EXPECTS THESE BOYS TO SELL OUT QUICKLY!
ho are these Bad Boys? They are three new wines Macchia plans to release at their party in November: an Amador County Barbera, “Infamous”, a Lodi Petite Sirah “Rebellious”, and an Amador County Zinfandel, “Notorious”.
h, there I go getting ahead of myself. Let me first introduce you to the owners of Macchia, Tim and Lani Holdener who opened their winery in 2001. This boutique winery is family oriented as all members lend a hand in making it happen. Their daughter, Tanya, is the Wine Club Manager, their son, Jonathan, Assistant Wine Maker (who will be making a Zinfandel “Ambitious” this year) and their youngest son, Tyler, who is either helping or keeping himself entertained. This family began their winery with the simple philosophy to discover and select only the best fruit required to produce fine wines. Tim has been very successful with this, having selected fruits from many of California’s “Best Spots” creating wines of distinction. Macchia is Italian for the spot and if you are looking for a place that offers romance, atmosphere and tranquility with great wines to enjoy, you’ve come to the right place.
