The Bogle family has been growing grapes since the 1800's, and have
grown into a nationally recognized winery. The recognition given to
the Bogle label comes from the hands on approach of the current Bogle
family at the vineyards. Bogle came to maturity in the late 1960's
with the father son team, Warren and Chris Bogle.
Over 1200 acres or grapes are turned into Bogle wine each year. Their
wine has been blended with grapes grown on the estate as well as with
fruit from all of the major California wine regions. This ensures
they are able to bring out the best of each varietal in their
portfolio. The Bogle family takes the blending of the wine seriously,
and has pledged to honor family tradition, while being open to changes
in the industry.
Can't make it out to the Bogle tasting room in Clarksburg, California?

for a chance to taste from the Bogle family lineup. Special guest Ted Kiefer will be in attendance to answer your questions. Ted is the Midwest sales manager for Bogle vineyards.

You can now find RumChata on the shelves at Dean's Liquor. RumChata is a rum cream made as an authentic replica of the best Horchata you have ever tasted. It is made from scratch using real ingredients - rice, sugar, cinnamon and vanilla. This is Real Horchata, not an imitation flavored horchata beverage.
RumChata can be enjoyed on the rocks, or mixed into shots and cocktails. Here are a couple of our favorite way to enjoy RumChata.
The Cinnabon
3/4 oz. RumChata
1/4 oz. Kahlua
Pour into a shot glass. Enjoy!
Or a creative twist on the martini:
The Tiramisu Martini
2 parts RumChata
1 part espresso vodka
Shake with ice and strain into Martini glass
Sprinkle with shaved chocolate
After dinner you might like:
Kentucky Cream

Pour over ice in a rock glass.
Come in for your bottle of RumChata, so you can try it for yourself. It's truly unique cinnamon flavor, is fresh new take on any rum based cocktail.

This month, Dean's is featuring wines from the Bachellery winery in the Languedoc Region of France. These wines will be tasted on March 25th, for more information about the tasting visit the Events page.
Langeudoc, pronounced, is a province of southern France. This major wine producing region, harvests nearly one third of all the grapes in France. Only the wines from the coast of the Mediterranean Sea bare the label Languedoc. This region contains a majority of mountainous and hilly terain that is shared by the growers of grapes, olives and wheat.
The Languedoc region is home to the Bachellery Winery in Beziers, France. Bachellery estate was settled in 1548, and has produced wine on and off since then. The Julien family, now owns the estate and has been producing its version of Bachellery since 1992. The vines are grown in very dry sandy soil of the coast, and are only harvested during the cool temperatures of the night.
All these things considered, Dean's is excited to have you try these wines and see what you think. We look forward to have everyone over to the store to taste and talk about these Languedoc valley wines.
