Syrah Wine of the Month

Syrah Wine of the Month

Announcing Crystal Basin’s Wine of the Month Syrah!

Syrah was one of the two grape varieties that Crystal Basin was founded to showcase.

Grown at higher altitudes, Syrah gains a rugged, meaty fruitiness and loses the higher tannins that its often known for.

Our Syrah is a fruit-forward expression of sun and soil.

El Dorado fruit brings on a rich blackberry and peppery aspect that is intriguing like wearing shiny leather pants.

We hope you’ll enjoy some of our Syrah soon!

Join us at our Crystal Basin Cellars locations this February 2023 to celebrate our Meau-Faux, Johnny Cash.

Johny Cash Meau Faux Event | Crystal Basin Cellars Camino, CA & Crystal Basin Station Folsom CA

What is a Meau-Faux and why does Crystal Basin Celebrate them?

We are always seeking to identify and honor innovative leadership. We’ve created a way for us all to recognize and celebrate truly unique folks on their respective birthdays. Each month, Crystal Basin selects a special Meau-Faux who have made an indelible mark on the world in their own way. This moniker is not to be taken lightly. It takes a LOT to be a Meau-Faux. You have to get up early, stay up late, and in many specific cases, be able to party like a rockstar. We know these personalities and what they stand for instantly. By calling our attention to these leaders, we hope you’ll be able to pull some essence of their spirit into you daily life. They are, quite simply, Meau-Fauxs.

Why is the February 2023 Meau-Faux Johnny Cash?

February’s Meau-Faux has true gravitas. Johnny Cash is a storied, even legendary, icon in the mid-century American music scene. Starting out in the Country genre and graduating to the Alternative genre at the end of his life and career. Cash is both famous and locally infamous, as his indelible tie with Folsom and the Folsom Prison still shine bright. Talented, mercurial and passionate, Cash’s myriad contributions to the music world will extend far beyond his lifetime and we are all better for his efforts.

Why is the January 2023 Meau-Faux John Belushi?

John Belushi is an obvious choice for Meau-Faux of the month. Rocketing to fame as a lead on the venerable Saturday Night Live (remember when it was funny?), Belushi lived big and partied hard. His comic genius will forever be part of our culture from his parts in movies like Animal House, Blues Brothers and Neighbors. Listen closely today and you’ll hear a Belushi quote that will give you a belly laugh. Salute John at January’s Comedic Meau-Faux.

January Wine of the Month Cabernet Sauvignon

January Wine of the Month Cabernet Sauvignon

Visit us at any of our Crystal Basin Cellar locations during the month of December for a special tasting featuring our January Wine of the Month Cabernet Sauvignon.

No discussion about wines made from red grapes is complete without homage to Cabernet Sauvignon. The most-planted grape in the world, Cabernet Sauvignon has proponents of its rich and tannic flavor profile in most, if not all, of the grape growing regions of the world.

Hailing from the Bordeaux region of western France, the best versions of wines made from this grape can reach a graceful age and awe you with their cost. Best found on your dinner table or on the menu of your favorite restaurant, Cabernet Sauvignon compliments fine foods and a healthy diet.

With small berries and low vineyard yield, Cabernet Sauvignon creates multi-layered wines that can be enjoyed during winter months and warming dinners in cozy living rooms. Crystal Basin has used the same vineyard sources for our Cabernet Sauvignon for over 20 years. Enjoy with those you love!
