Sessions Syrah, San Francisco based winemaker Brian Frank
Incredibly small production wine not available to the consumer, with art done by local artist Brian Barneclo. Brian Frank has generously donated 6 bottles of his Syrah for tasting, made from Santa Barbara County grapes.

Ravenswood Winery, Sonoma, CA
Ravenswood employs relatively archaic winemaking techniques. Instead of sterilizing their juice with sulfur and adding a commercial yeast culture, they use native vineyard yeasts that have a broader range of flavors and aromas. They ferment in small, open-topped tanks and allow the temperature of the juice to get very warm to extract all the color and flavor possible. They leave the wine in contact with its skins for weeks, not days, after which it's aged in small French oak barrels whose avors are consistent with their wines, particularly Zinfandel. Ravenswood has donated 3 magnums for tasting.
