WELCOME
P

rior to taking over the winery, I never gave much thought to gracious entertaining. My idea of hospitality was making sure there
was enough wine in the refrigerator before Friday night. Upon assuming my current role in 2005, my eyes were opened to all of
the small details that set great hotels and restaurants apart, and I wanted to bring that sense of style to Jordan. While Jordan was
always an homage to the marriage of food and wine, we have rededicated ourselves to creating memorable experiences for our guests.
Sharing the stories of the artisans that make our hospitality happen brings those details to life.
Technology has made the art of entertaining more accessible. Whether it's YouTube or Pinterest, the secrets to throwing an unforgettable
party that combines the pleasures of the table-food, wine, décor-have never been more readily available. Elegant entertaining is no
longer the sole provenance of the professionals.
In this year's edition of Estate Tales, we share ideas to help you bring a taste of wine country hospitality to your celebrations at home.
Our cover story (page 26) offers advice and ideas for throwing a party that will leave guests with memories that linger far beyond the silky
finish on that glass of Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon. Family-style recipes from our chef (page 30) are sure to inspire a course or two for
your next social gathering, and the Jordan library vintages and home entertaining accoutrements being offered in our Chateau Boutique
(page 24) will help complete your shopping list. Photos from culinary events and private meals in the Special Events Calendar (page 18)
and Jordan Estate Rewards loyalty program overview (page 20) may also spark a few party ideas.
2015 marked a milestone for Jordan-the 40th harvest for both the winery and our winemaker. Reflections on Rob Davis's remarkable
tenure and track record of excellence, as well as the surprise celebration in his honor, begin on page 8. His latest vintages of Jordan
Chardonnay and Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon debuted this spring (page 14), along with an exciting bottling of Jordan Estate Extra Virgin
Olive Oil (page 16). Each new release offers food-friendly versatility on your table and in the kitchen.
We hope the stories shared here inspire you until your next visit to Sonoma County wine country. You're always welcome at our table.
Sincerely,
