THE EAST BAY VINTNER’S ALLIANCE WELCOMES ITS 23RD MEMBER, STOMPING GIRL WINES
Berkeley-Based Urban Winery Brings Exceptionally Crafted Pinot Noir to the EBVA
(Berkeley, CA) March 1, 2011—The East Bay Vintner’s Alliance (EBVA,) the premiere urban wine group headquartered in Oakland, California, has welcomed its 23rd member, Stomping Girl Wines, www.stompinggirlwines.com. This Berkeley, California, winery is known for producing artisanal Pinot Noir inspired by three generations of family winemaking.
“We love Pinot because we believe it is the most delicate and elegant of all wine varietals. When a Pinot Noir is done well, it has a distinct, luxurious taste that pairs well with almost any food,” says winemaker and Co-Owner of Stomping Girl Wines, Kathryn Cohen. “Any grower or winemaker will tell you that Pinot is definitely not the easiest grape to work with, but we love the challenge of creating a great wine and hence, our inspiration for creating Stomping Girl Wines.”
Stomping Girl Pinot Noirs can be found at stores and restaurants around the Bay Area including Coco500, Zut! On Fourth, Revival Bar and Kitchen, Weimax Wine & Spirits..
Stomping Girl wines will also be participating in the EBVA’s upcoming “Passport to the East Bay” on April 2, 2011 and will pour at Urban Legend Cellars in Oakland, California. Tickets for “Passport to the East Bay” can be purchased at www.eastbayvintners.com.
