Bokisch Vineyards in Lodi is going all out to celebrate the wine that made Rioja famous. Choose your food and wine pairing event - they have three to choose from including one on Friday, one on Saturday and one on Sunday. Sunday the winery will host live music on the lawn along with food pairings for their Tempranillo.
The variety is the 4th most planted wine grape in the world yet little is grown acres in California, though that could change with climate change. Of the estimated 925 or so acres of Tempranillo planted in California, about 120 acres are in Lodi.
Bokisch is one of the very few wineries in Lodi that champions organic. Its 2023 vintages validate that by stating "organically grown" on the back label. Their vineyard was certified organic in 2009.
Spanish on his mother's side, Markus Bokisch, a renowned Lodi vineyard manager and vintner, uses Spanish clones. The winery also makes organically grown Grenache and other Spanish variatals.
