Happy Father’s Day from Half Moon Bay Winery🍷 Our wine picks for Dad today: Fisherman’s Red or Pinot Noir.

Our Fisherman’s Red blend has aromas and flavors of red fruit, dry sage, strawberry, blueberry and warm spice notes. Our Pinot Noir has flavors and aromas of cherry, cola, plum and cedar with light toasty oak on the finish.

Both are a perfect pair with an ocean view! 🌊

We sipped, we savored, and we supported successful aging at @seniorcoastsiders’ Taste of the Coast fundraiser last week! 🍷

We offered four wines to taste for guests at this sold out event: our Fisherman’s Red, Pinot Noir, Rosé, and Chardonnay. Along with our wines, there were locally made beer, cocktails, desserts and signature culinary samples to enjoy as well. Plus live music! Blue City Jazz and the Blandino-Moore-Zander String Trio were wonderful.

Thank you to Senior Coastsiders for having us, and for all of the essential work you do for older Coastside residents. And special thank you to @sipandsaveur for getting some adorable pictures of us! ❤️👏

We had an amazing time pouring our wines, alongside @jettywavehmb and @hmbbrewingco, at @thehealprojectusa’s annual spring gala fundraiser, Spring Ahead at @pastamoonhmb!

Each year, The Heal Project serves over 4,000 students with hands-on outdoor learning opportunities that inspire kids’ natural curiosity and cultivate environmental awareness in the next generation. Their mission is to teach kids where their food comes from, and why that matters. The funds raised at this gala help support that important mission, as well as fund their ability to teach kids these important lessons through their myriad of programs and activities.

The locally-sourced food, prepared by the Coast’s best chefs, was an absolute delight! Thank you to the following Chefs for creating a dish for Spring Ahead: Joy Portelli and Vera Templeman of @eventsavvyhmb, Lewis Rossman of @samschowderhouse, Wyatt Fields of @breakwaterbarbecue, Roberto Roderigues of Mullin’s, and Jose Luis Ugalde of @gibraltargems. Each of their dishes pulled ingredients from local farms and businesses: @HarleyFarms, Stuckey’s Sustainable Fishery, Brisa Ranch, @simmsorganics, @giustifarms, Haro Family Farm, and to Mark & George of Montara Milling Co., Pietro Parravano and the Crew of FV Annie B, The Heal Project School Farm, @pomponioranch_meat, Blue House Farm, Mike Berger & Pacific Coast Meats, @iacopifarms, Rob James & Corvus Farms, Farm Fatales and Jacobs Farm. Desserts were provided by Pasta Moon!

Lastly, thank you to the Entire The Heal Project Team, including board member Erin Tormey for inviting us, Executive Director of The Heal Project Brett Schilke, Host @itsmarcusd, performer @mikemccall_guitarist, and owner of Pasta Moon Kim Levin for making this event so special.

🦀 Dungeness crab season is finally here, and yo

🦀 Dungeness crab season is finally here, and you know what that means: it’s time for a crab dinner paired with your favorite white and pink wines from Half Moon Bay Winery! Step one is to buy your live, locally-caught Dungeness crab straight off the boats from fishermen in Pillar Point Harbor (@smharbor). Buying direct is a great way to support HMB’s local fishing economy; plus it’s a quintessential HMB experience! There’s no shortage of boats to choose from. We love Captain Barry’s team on the FV Hellen Ruth (slip G6) ❤️

Step two is to pair your wine! Lucky for you, we already know the best choices from our lineup . They are:
2022 Chardonnay
2023 Mavericks Sauvignon Blanc
2022 Coastal Fog White
2022 Rosé

Pick up these wines at our coastal retailers or visit our website (link in bio) to stock up and purchase cases.
