TNT Dynamite Red Release & new Mission varietal now on the tasting bar!

We have two amazing and truly unique wines hitting the tasting bar in July! TNT Dynamite Red and a rare Mission wine! This year's TNT is a fantastic blend of Petite Sirah, Cabernet Franc and Mourvedre, and the Mission is so delightful we can't wait for you to taste it!

Mission grapes were planted in mission courtyards of California as mission padres considered wine to be an essential part of life. Mission wine was used as a drink with meals, as a medicine, and also in the sacrament of communion. Until about 1850 Mission grapes pretty much represented the entirety of viticulture in California wines. Today, Mission grapes represent less than 1000 acres of total plantings in the entire state! Reminiscent of a full bodied Pinot Noir, we hope you thoroughly enjoy this very rare California wine.

New Creations!

Jill Tanis has created more mixed-media art pieces for you to enjoy while sipping Andrew's delicious wines! Spiritually and emotionally inspired, she hopes they are a blessing to your soul.

Come out and see us soon!

Primitivo, Nebbiolo, and a unique Amador County Pinot Noir!

New wines on the tasting bar at TANIS in July! 2011 Primitivo, 2012 Nebbiolo and 2012 Pinot Noir! The Pinot Noir is very limited production from a grower who has just a few rows of Pinot Noir here in Amador County. Pinot Noir is a rare varietal for our area, and most years in the past conditions weren’t quite right for harvesting. 2012 offered good weather for the Pinot, and we felt we could make an exceptional wine with it. We’re super happy with how it turned out! Even if you’re not a Pinot lover, we think you’ll really enjoy this unique wine. It’s a big, dark Pinot Noir with a strong pop of cherry to it! Come on by for tasting. Hope to see you soon!

Andrew & Jill

 

New TANIS Sauvignon Blanc on the tasting bar!

Hope all is well in your world.

Come out and see us soon!

TANIS Zinfandel & Syrah Release!

Come out and try the newly released 2011 Zinfandel and 2011 Syrah! The Syrah is smooth and silky with layers of fruit across the tongue and the Zinfandel is really beautiful this year with a lovely lingering back end. So delicious!

Spring has sprung and it is a beautiful time for a drive out our way!

Art Show & Wine Tasting ~ Saturday & Sunday September 26th-27th!

Come see the artwork of Jill Tanis now on display at Tanis Vineyards Winery Saturday & Sunday, September 26th-27th. Meet and greet with the artist from 12pm-5:30pm both days. Saturday, the 26th, enjoy live original acoustic guitar music from 2pm-4pm. Wine tasting and an array of gourmet samples both days.

For Jill, art is an act of self expression, self discovery, and healing. “I don't just like art, I need art. It's how I process and make sense of the world and my reaction to it. It helps me unwind my felt experience of spiritual and emotional questions and weave together complex thoughts and feelings into something I can more clearly comprehend... I hope that in viewing my work your heart resonates with the shared intuitive whispers of my soul.”

Each of Jill’s paintings is displayed with a personal quote expressing some aspect of what the art means to her. “These words I’m sharing aren’t everything the piece is meant to express. I’ve chosen a quote that is particularly meaningful to me at this time, and hope my art and words inspire thoughts and healing in those who view it, that spiritually it will speak personally meaningful things to the viewer that I haven’t even thought to express.” One piece on display is titled “Tell the World I’m Coming Home.” The accompanying quote reads “When trauma of this world has caused our spirit to leave the body behind, there is a journey of courage we must take to come home to ourselves again. Don’t give up during the difficult steps of that journey, there is a truer understanding and deeper soul satisfaction on the other side. You are coming home. You are coming home with wisdom and love and compassion that only such travelers possess.”

Visit us for a first look at Jill’s art Saturday and Sunday, September 26th-27th. Come for the art, the wine, the music, the love and connection! Can’t wait to see you!

Entering the New Year with Gratitude

I don't think there has been a year of our lives together yet that we have not experienced a little bit of everything... joy, sorrow, pleasures, pain, the expected and the unknown...life is always an adventure! As the new year begins it's a time of reflection and gratitude. Reflection on the highs and the lows, the ways we've grown as well as ways we have failed to grow, and gratitude for it all. Truly this is something we are learning to do, to be grateful for everything, knowing that the beautiful moments of life are to be treasured and that the storms of life often, if not always, bring some kind of good to our lives over time as well. Here's to an adventurous 2014 full of life well lived! Wishing you and yours all the best and looking forward to good things for us all in the new year!

Come by and see us soon and enjoy the spectacular wines currently on the bar.

February 2013

New Wine at TANIS!

This weekend we will be releasing 2 new reds! TANIS 2009 Tempranillo and 2009 Mourvèdre are waiting to make your acquaintance.

Also new to the tasting bar this weekend is a crisp, clean, refreshing TANIS 2012 Chenin Blanc. Tasting notes for the new reds are below. Come help us write the description for our beautiful Chenin Blanc!

2009 Mourvédre

Deep crimson in color, this Mourvédre is very full bodied, a powerful yet balanced dry red wine with aromas of butterscotch and creamy hazelnut.  It has flavors of raspberry and spice with a touch of black pepper. Fine tannins and a rich, lasting finish.

2009 Tempranillo

Supple and satin in texture.  Dark garnet in color. This Tempraillo is dry and full bodied with aromas and flavors of strawberry jam and glazed berry cobbler. Excellent wine to pair with red meat dishes.

It's a beautiful time to visit Amador Wine Country. Although the vernal equinox is still over a month away, you can really feel spring tapping at the door. The daffodils always seem to be the first to announce themselves. Although there is something to love about all the seasons, I especially enjoy spring and its way of ushering us in to our own seasons of renewal and growth.

Come See What's New in the TANIS Tasting Room

We're excited to let you know that rearranging has left us with a little more space in our cozy tasting room. Come see what we've done and enjoy the new look and feel with us as we taste the big bold red wines Andrew currently has on the bar!

Besides the delicious wine to enjoy, there are now some other very special things behind the tasting bar... antique teddy bears, bottles, books and decor. Most of these items were once treasured by Jill's parents and many have interesting stories to tell.

2012 has been an incredible year and we have so much to be thankful for. Come share a moment with us as we celebrate the coming new year and the hopes and promise it has to offer as we move forward into 2013.

New wines are being bottled and there is much to look forward to! Zinfandel, Tempranillo, Mourvedre, Cab Franc and Primitivo are among the first of the 09's on our bottling schedule and will be coming right around the corner.

Looking forward to seeing you soon!

Andrew & Jill

2012 Abundant Harvest

The feeling and colors of fall are all around as we finish up the 2012 crush. This year has been an absolutely beautiful harvest. The grapes (especially the Primitivo) coming out of the field are both high quality and abundant. Keep an eye out for this one. The 2012 Primitivo is definitely something to look forward to!

TANIS Wine Club release will go out the beginning of November. The coming shipment includes 2 bottles of TANIS Pinotage and 2 bottles of TANIS Late Harvest Zinfandel. After wine club goes out there are only about 10 cases of Pinotage left.

Come by soon to stock your cellars and wine racks for the coming holiday meals and parties! Enjoy wine and chocolates! Our Spicy Pumpkin Cheesecake Caramels, Triple Chocolate Toffee, and spicy TNT Dynamite Explosion are back on the bar for tasting as well!

The Late Harvest Zinfandel is delicious paired with our spicy jamaican jerk seasoned port chocolates. Come enjoy!
