Introducing the Mixed Roots Wine Collection

Vinted and Bottled by Winefornia

Identity | Diversity | Unity

Rooted in multiculturalism, the Mixed Roots journey stated in 1995 as a high school cultural diversity group which still exists today and how has now evolved and expanded nationally to Mixed Roots Foundation that includes raising awareness and funds for the global multicultural adoption and foster care community. The fundamental roots of Identity, Diversity, but most importantly Unity is what Mixed Roots is all about. To learn more and support, visit mixedrootswine.com

Identity (White Blend) - The 2020 Mixed Roots White Cuvee, a blend of Chenin Blanc and Viognier, displays wonderful and slightly exotic aromas of white peach, lychee, ripe Anjou pear, lemon balm and jasmine blossom. Just rich enough, there is a compelling textural interplay between the rounder Viognier and the steely Chenin, creating suspense and tension between delicate flavors of orange marmalade, salted lime, kumquat and quince jam. The wine strikes a deft balance that achieves a near-universal compatibility with any setting or food.

Diversity (Sparkling Brut Rose) - A crystalline, and delicate light-peach in color, The Mixed Roots “Lineage” Sparkling Rosé opens on the nose with brioche, sliced nectarines, and sea spray, followed by hints of kiwifruit, green strawberry and honey graham cracker. Initially broad and creamy in texture, a mineral-inflected mouth-watering acidity gently builds length and structure for fascinating flavors of angel food cake, chamomile tea, miso paste and honey.

Unity (Red Blend) - On the nose, the 2020 Mixed Roots Red Cuvee displays a gorgeous mix of bright red cherries, strawberry jam, and spiced orange peel, with hints of incense and cedar cigar box. Fine and silky in texture, flavors of hibiscus and English breakfast tea are first to arrive, cherry pie filling and warm, light oak follow. A gentle thread of acid lifts in from the mid-palate to the finish, blended invisibly with fruit and just a touch of lithe, silty tannin all the way to the end.

CSN FEATURED ARTISTS

Vicki Randle | Rachel Garlin | Angie Doctor | Kate Lamont | Sofia Lewis

Hosted by CSN Founder Lori Maier

Vicki Randle’s destiny was foreshadowed by the fact that her mother’s baby shower was held at the Oakland club where her jazz pianist father was accompanying Billie Holiday. Seeing the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show inspired her to start playing guitar, singing and songwriting, followed by bass, then congas and percussion. She began as a solo singer/songwriter in small clubs but quickly found work touring and recording. For the last 45 years she has toured with George Benson, Wayne Shorter, Lionel Richie, Kenny Loggins, Laura Nyro, and Mavis Staples, recorded with Aretha Franklin, Herbie Hancock, Todd Rundgren, Cris Williamson and many others. In 1992 she became the first permanent female band member of the Tonight Show with the Jay Leno Band until 2010. She currently splits time playing and writing with her Rock Funk band Skip The Needle and producing artists for the non profit label Little Village Foundation.

San Francisco's Rachel Garlin spent the quarantine cultivating poetry, activism, and compassion in her community while performing livestreams and recording remotely with close collaborators Julie Wolf and Vicki Randle. A songwriter's songwriter, Garlin devoted the month of February to writing a new song daily and sharing the creative process- spontaneous and vulnerable - while interacting with fans across the country. The songs on her most recent release The State That We Are In tell a range of stories all rooted in a sense of immediacy from the personal to the political. Garlin was recently featured in the San Francisco Chronicle after spearheading a series of community concerts from the edge of her garage. Media fans include Curve Magazine (“storytelling at its best”) and WFUV’s John Platt who writes, "Rachel makes it look effortless with her accessible melodies but dig deeper into her lyrics (like "crash course in chagrin") and you realize she's creating poetry in relatable human situations." John Platt, WFUV in NYC
