Our philosophy is to be a small and an estate winery, but be the best at what we do. If that means that we should stay to our vineyard production capacity of about 2,000 cases per year, then so be it. To us, quality is more important than quantity, and up here it's all about pounds (of grapes) per vine not tons per acre.

Fall/Winter 2004
Touring & Tasting Magazine "Featured Article"
 

ãWild Coyote is more than just another wine tasting experience- It is a mystical journey that combines wine, native culture, and art. The spirit of Wild Coyote is felt from the roadside the minute you see the one-of-a-kind adobe-style tasting room and a genuine tipi atop the mountain overlooking the vineyard.ä To see the full article, click on this link: Featured Article

ãEmbracing the Spirit. Gianni Manucci knew he was predisposed to be a winemaker. While growing up in California, rather than aspire to his ancestry as son to a third generation European grape farmer, Gianni became a successful architect, living large in Laguna Beach, pursuing his passion for design in Southern Californiaä To see the full article, click on this link: Featured Article

Orange County.Net "Featured Article"
 

ãWild Coyote is more than just a name to Gianni Manucci. Wild Coyote is a spirit and way of living characterized by the animal that roams the California countryside of both Gianni's California homes. A spirit of adventure, the following of one's instincts and resourceful use of all of the skills one is given is what Wild Coyote is an expression of. The Vintage is as rich, warm, woodsy and even spicy, as you would expect embodying the elements that went into its creation, these being the fruit of the earth, passion and even love.ä To see the full article, click on this link: Featured Article

 

 
June/July 2002
Wine Review "VinExpo Tokyo Edition"
 

"Both Justin and Coyote Creek are relatively new wineries and whilst the former impresses the image that is sleek and classy, Coyote Creek is rustic and almost country-like. They said Justin is busy dynamiting their way into caves to build wine cellars and Coyote Creek will be moving to a newly constructed winery in the near future, to accommodate growing demand and to facilitate an influx of public tasters. Indeed the trend is to upgrade, improve and expand."

Singapore/Thailand "Media/Trade Group"
 
Coyote Creek was one of the stops for this small but very experienced group of media & trade professionals during their one-week of visiting selective California wineries. As always, it was a pleasure to meet folks from other countries and get their perspectives on our wines as a comparison to other regions/countries. Our session ended with lots of pictures, of course, and purchasing some of our wines for souvenirs, or maybe just drinking it on the way back to the hotel.

Private Wine Tasting/Parties
"Coyote Wines & Winemaker as your Host"
 

Beginning the end of last year in 2001, we hosted a few private parties and wine tastings with great success. This idea began with special focus business groups, private corporations (real estate agencies, etc.), to private house parties. All with one common theme; enhancing their events by having a vineyard owner/winemaker join in with a few good wines for tasting and vineyard/winery education. We hope to continue this exciting event throughout 2003,

Beverly Hills Farmers Market "First Ever"
 

Coyote Creek Vineyard was recently approved as "one-the-first" winegrowers to participate in the California's Farmers Market program. And we have chosen to start off with the Beverly Hills market on the 1st & 3rd Sunday of each month, beginning on September 16th. Future locations will be announced in the near future.

Our efforts began shortly after the ABC's (Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control) announcement memorandum of 2/8/01 issued by the Interim Director, Mr. Manual R. Espinoza. The section bill was originally intended to generate sales and market exposure of wine from small family-type operations.

UC Davis Campus Visit
 
I made a personal visit to UC-Davis for a hands-on session in their lab and studied their winemaking techniques and equipment. To say the least, I was very impressed with the campus and the technical  knowledge of their research staff. No wonder they are known as one of the best Viticulture and Enology institutions in the country. For those of you (novice or professional) winemakers that haven't made the time to visit UC-Davis, I suggest it very strongly.
