Recollections of our Anniversary Celebrations

 

Coming soon...

 

Look forward to our grand opening event for our tasting room in Woodinville, WA. This location will help serve the growing clientele of Cañon de Sol while making our wines available to new friends.

 

Tip:

Note the flavors you like in the wine you are tasting and those that you don’t. These would be good to know so you can describe the type of wine experience you enjoy.  Consider three components - Appearance, Bouquet, & Taste.  The bouquet, or aroma of wine is very important because we sense hundreds of scents through smell, while there are only four types of taste distinctions: sweet, sour, bitter, salt - and these are usually expressed in terms of sweetness, acidity, & tannins.

The Cruz Family presenting the Anniversary Magnums

 

September 2009

Thank you to all who joined us in the festivities around our 10th anniversary celebration.  We appreciate your support, participation, and your friendship.

 

The Limited Edition Magnums, numbered and etched with the Cañon de Sol logo are still available while supplies last.  Get one to commemorate your special occasion.  Let us know and we will reserve one for you.

 

For your enjoyment, here is our spin on a recipe for Chorizo - inspired by both ~the dish that Castle Catering served with our Meritage wine during the Anniversary Dinner ~ and the wonderful tacos from Taqueria Los Toritos taco wagon.

 

ENJOY!  Victor & Kim Cruz

CHORIZO

  • 2 Lb. ground pork.
  • 3 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 6 tbsp. pure ground red chili
  • 12 small hot dried crushed chiles
  • 4-6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp. dry leaf oregano
  • 2 tsp. whole cumin seed, crushed
  • 1 tsp. fresh ground black pepper
  • 1 1/2 tsp. sugar
  • 4 tbsp. wine vinegar
  • 2 1/2 tbsp. water

Break up the meat, sprinkle evenly with the rest of the ingredients. Cut in with two forks until evenly blended, then knead a bit with your hands until well mixed.

 

Place in the refrigerator till ready to use, (the meaty mix will keep for at least two weeks). Let it season for a couple days while chilling, then form patties, stuff into casings to be smoked, or simply fry the meat and wrap with corn tortillas ... add your favorite fixings such as sautéed onions and peppers, and, of course jalapeños.
