Food & Wine Magazine Names Siduri Wines A Best Winery Tour

Ultra Premium Pinot Noir and Syrah Producer Singled Out for Up-Close-and-Personal Winery Visit Santa Rosa, CA (September 17, 2007) Food & Wine Magazine, one of the nations leading culinary arts publications with a circulation approaching 1,000,000 readers, has named Santa Rosas Siduri Winery to their short list of Napa and Sonomas Best Winery Tours. One of the original warehouse wineries best known for their extensive offering of cult-status Pinot Noir, Siduri joins the ranks of Kuleto Estate, Frank Family Vineyards and Hanzell Vineyards on the prestigious roll call.

In the article, which appears in the October 2007 issue, Food and Wine says of Siduri, Using grapes transported from vineyards throughout California and Oregon, Adam and Dianna Lee make an astonishing 27 different Pinot Noirs under the Siduri label and 12 Syrahs for Novy Family Wines. Their winerys in a bare bones warehouse in not-so-sexy Santa Rosa, but the appointment-only tours usually given by one of the Lees include a sampling of wines aging in barrels for a preview of upcoming vintages.

The magazine goes on to highlight two of the winerys offerings as must haves; the 2005 Novy Page-Nord Syrah and the 2005 Sonatera Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir ( the latter is sold out at the winery but available at select restaurants and wine shops).

About Siduri and Novy:
Named for the Babylonian goddess of wine, who appears on the label, Siduri produces the most extensive offering of single vineyard Pinot Noirs by any California winery. Founded in 1994 by husband and wife winemakers Adam & Dianna Lee, Siduri produces 7500 cases of single vineyard and appellation Pinot Noir annually at prices ranging from $20-$50. The Lees also produce a line of wines in partnership with Dianna's family; the similarly priced Novy Family Wines explore many of the same vineyard sites as Siduri, but with a focus on Syrah. Siduri and Novy Family Wines are available from the winery and at fine restaurants and wine shops nationally. Siduri Winery is open to the public daily for tasting and tour from 10am to 4pm by appointment.
