About Landon McPherson

“Having grown up in Wine Country and hospitality, the launch of Harvest Card seemed to be natural. So, I created a membership program that would allow those who are not “industry” to experience Wine Country as an insider. I want all Harvest Card members to feel that they are right there with me, each and every time they have a Wine Country experience. I am so fortunate to live in such an incredible region and know that the luxury we experience daily is nothing to be taken for granted. Harvest Card was created to benefit both locals as well as our friends who visit a few times each year, to help elevate your experience.”

Hook & Ladder: The Next Generation of Russian River Valley Wines

2018-08-15T19:42:41+00:00

Hook & Ladder - A Harvest Card Winery Partner The Next Generation of Russian River Valley Wines Hook & Ladder's founder, Cecil De Loach, found great success by following a simple guiding principle: Make wines that people like to drink. In order to make exceptional wine, it's helpful to start with exceptional fruit. One of the best ways to ensure the highest quality grapes is to grow them yourself. As a farmer first, Cecil remained true to the fruit he grew when crafting his wines. Continuing this tradition, Hook & Ladder wines strive to showcase the vineyards from which they are made. Cecil’s grandson, Jason De Loach, is now the winemaker. He is careful to emphasize Hook & Ladder's estate fruit, and uses a balanced approach to all elements of winemaking, from harvest to oak barrel aging. The entire Hook & Ladder family team is proud to share these hand-made estate wines with discriminating wine lovers around the world.  Hook & Ladder Wines showcase the quality and

Sustainability Meets Tradition at Marimar Estate

2018-07-24T17:26:34+00:00

Nestled in the rolling hills of western Sonoma County, the Russian River/Green Valley appellation is a perfect microclimate for growing Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Only 10 miles from the Pacific Ocean and 50 miles north of San Francisco, the site is influenced by the sea's cooling breezes and drifting fog. This is why Marimar Torres selected this privileged location to "export" the Torres family legacy of fine wines to California. Marimar came to live in California in 1975. After two years of searching, she acquired the land and began planting the vineyard in 1986. Today there are 30 acres planted with Chardonnay and 30 with Pinot Noir. The wines are made entirely from estate-grown grapes. Named in honor of the late patriarch of the family, the vineyard is unique in California because it is totally European in style. The vines are trained very close to the ground on an open vertical trellis, following the slope of an east-facing hillside; the rootstocks are phylloxera resistant; and the planting

Wine Wednesday: Campana Ranch

2018-06-06T16:27:26+00:00

Wine Wednesday: Campana Ranch I recently had the pleasure of sitting down with Steve Bell and Sher Bell Boatman from Campana Ranch Wines, who I met for the first time at the Russian River Valley Single Vineyard Night earlier this month.  After spending five minutes with them, you feel like you’ve known them for years. They’re truly the type of people who feel that strangers are only friends that they haven’t met yet - warm, welcoming, gracious in their hospitality and they also make incredible wines. We sat on the patio at their ranch recently and enjoyed the beautiful flowers and vineyard views on one side and gardens and a horse pasture on the other. It’s truly a quintessential Russian River Valley setting to say the very least. Campana Ranch Wines is owned by Steve and his wife, Sher; unique backgrounds and intertwined paths led them to each other. Steve, who began his winery career decades ago in Napa, when there were only 25 wineries in

The Story of Rodney Strong Vineyards

2018-06-04T20:17:33+00:00

The Story of Rodney Strong Vineyards SONOMA GROWN FOR OVER 50 YEARS Our story begins over 55 years ago, when a celebrated American dancer named Rod Strong settled in Sonoma County to pursue a second lifelong creative passion: winemaking. Rodney Strong Vineyards was the 13th winery bonded in the newly discovered Sonoma County wine industry. A trio of winemaking paths crossed when Rick Sayre joined the team as Winemaker in 1979, and again when the Klein Family, 4th generation California farmers, purchased the winery in 1989 and initiated a renewed commitment of modern artisan winemaking. Through the years, Rodney Strong Vineyards has earned the reputation for critically acclaimed Single Vineyard and Reserve wines, stand out Estate releases and best-in-class Sonoma County varietal wines. Rodney Strong received the honor of being named Wine Enthusiast’s American Winery of the Year in 2013. Introduced in 2000, each year the Wine Enthusiast honors those that have impacted the wine and spirits industry with their Wine Star Awards. With the designation

Willi’s Wine Bar to Reopen in Santa Rosa

2018-05-23T21:34:16+00:00

I am so excited that the news of the return of Willi's Wine Bar is officially made public!  I was on the opening staff of Willi's Wine Bar in 2002 - much like most of Sonoma County locals and visitors, that restaurant has had a special place in my heart for many, many years. Gatherings, a quick glass of wine and a bite to eat before or after a concert at Luther Burbank Center, celebrations, anniversaries and dates -- Willi's Wine Bar is a treasure to wine country and we couldn't be happier to hear that it's returning.  We're ready for Willi's Part 2! Much love to Mark and Terri Stark! Check out this article by our good friend Heather Irwin of the Press Democrat. Willi’s Wine Bar, the iconic restaurant that was leveled during the October wildfires, will rise again at the Town and Country Shopping Center in northeast Santa Rosa. Stark Reality Restaurants, which owned the popular wine bar on Old Redwood Highway, has found

Matrix Winery – Premier Sonoma County Wine

2018-05-22T18:23:05+00:00

The breadth of the Matrix estate fruit—from the foggy beds of the Russian River Valley, the highlands of the Sonoma Coast and the mountainous edges of Dry Creek Valley—gives the winemaker incredible selections of grapes. The estate fruit sources also give the flexibility to select not only the vineyards for their wines but a vineyard block or even specific rows. With a focus on labor-intensive, hands-on farming practices, we produce low-yield vineyards that result in grapes marked by astounding concentrations of flavors— thus creating wines that are powerful yet elegant. Matrix Winemaker Honored as Woman Winemaker of the Year in 2008, and winning multiple back-to-back Sonoma County Harvest Fair and San Francisco Chronicle Sweepstakes, Diane Wilson has shot to the forefront of the Sonoma County wine industry. These highly–regarded awards, coupled with dozens of 90+ scores and over 100 Gold Medals, demonstrate Diane’s strong track record as an outstanding winemaker. Diane describes her winemaking style as unorthodox. “My goal is to maximize the fruit flavor of the grape,
