Californian Wine Tasting at Edgbaston – With Rutherford Hills

We have managed to get the head winemaker Michael Coode from Rutherford Hill’s over for a tasting. This is the first time he has ever been to the UK so it is a massive coup for us to get him to come to Birmingham to show us his amazing wines.

Rutherford Hill’s are located in the super-premium Rutherford area of the Napa Valley. They are celebrating their 50th year as a family-owned Estate in California. The Rutherford sub-region in Napa produces some of the most highly regarded wines in California. The estate has four different vineyard sites in Napa so that they can make wines with different terroir expressions. These vineyards are located in Rutherford, Pope Valley, Oak Knoll, and Atlas Peak.

Michael Coode has a wide breadth of experience including international winemaking, product development, facility management and global wine education expertise. Coode’s experience spans 18 harvests across four countries and has resulted in the development of several outstanding products and brands. His experience includes tenure at the world-renowned Chateaux Margaux in Bordeaux, Paul Jaboulet Aîné in the Rhône Valley, Inglenook in Napa Valley, Inniskillin in Niagara, and Wolf Blass in Adelaide.
