Signorello Estate Winery, Napa Valley, California, USA

Signorello Estate Winery, Napa Valley, California, USA
History of the Signorello Estate Winery:
Starting the Venture
Ray Signorello Jr. began his journey as winemaker and vineyard owner in the Napa Valley during the mid 1980’s. Ray, born in San Francisco, California, moved to Vancouver, Canada where the Signorello family continues to maintain a home. Ray divides his time between Napa, San Francisco, Vancouver and business related travel. Ray’s father, Ray Sr., initiated the vineyard project during the mid 1970’s by purchasing the 100-acre estate located on the Silverado Trail in the beautiful Napa Valley. Ray Sr. worked side by side with Ray Jr., establishing the winery’s reputation for excellence until his passing in the fall of 1998.
No Turning Back
Signorellos’ original plan was to grow quality grapes to sell to existing wineries, but the harvest of 1985 changed this plan into a new level of evolvement. The bountiful crop allowed Signorellos to custom crush the excess grapes. This opportunity demonstrated what fabulous wine their vineyards were capable of producing. The project continues to grow, as do the spectacular 42 acres planted in several different varietals. Ray’s continuing effort represents the invested energies that created this reality from a dream.
In 1986 the Signorellos began the second phase of the venture, this was the building of the main winery structure. This beautiful building is used for barrel storage, wine tasting and retail sales. Along with the building of the winery, wine production was expanded to include Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir. By the end of the 1980’s the Signorello family was thoroughly committed to making wine as well as growing grapes.
The decade of the nineties proved to be pivotal for Signorello Estate. In 1990 the first planting of red varietals began on the property- Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Syrah.
What brought the Signorellos to the Napa Valley was the romantic side of winemaking; growing grapes, working the land, and enjoying the wine country lifestyle of camaraderie, good wine and great meals. While the Valley lifestyle is a very real part of the business, there is a serious responsibility to making a dream become a reality, both father and son realized this fact early in the endeavor.
This venture was a dream; now it is reality.

Savoury Meat Pies in Ocean Grove, NJ
Image by flickr4jazz
Jersey Shore Fightin’ Texas Aggie Ring was talking with some folks last night at his local brewery who were from the nearby seaside village of Ocean Grove, New Jersey. They told Aggie Ring that there was a new restaurant/deli in Ocean Grove that makes and serves traditional English meat pies.
“Why had I not heard of this before now?” Aggie Ring said to me on the way home. “I’m out of the loop it seems. I suppose that’s to be expected when your an “Aggie Ring of One” and a “lone wolf” on the Jersey shore.”
“We need to get better intel.” said Aggie Ring. “That meat pie shop has been open for months. I need to know about these things.”
When Aggie Ring arrived home, he got on the internets and did special Aggie Ring research. The place is called Bürbelmaiers (standard spelling). They are a very traditional English/British Savory Meat Pie Shoppe. Looking at the menu brought tears of sweet joy to Aggie Ring’s eye. They had: British Pork Pie, Sausage, Peppers and Onion Pie, Beef & Mushroom Pie, Smoked Chicken & Leek Pie, Curried Lamb Pie, Bacon Cheddar Burger Pie… The list went on and on. “Look” said Aggie Ring. “They even have Reuben, Cubano, Ham & Cheese, Jamaican Beef, and Cornish Pastie Pies.”
Aggie Ring also noted that they had Sausage Rolls, Chicken Tinga Quesadilla, Bacon Toaster Tarts and Timpano! Some of their sides included onion gravy, mashed potatoes, and mushy peas (an Aggie Ring favorite).
The first thing Aggie Ring told me when he woke up at 11:30 this morning was, “I want an English Meat Pie for lunch!” After Aggie Ring had his shower, he drove the 10 minutes to Ocean Grove.
When Aggie Ring arrived in Ocean Grove, he quickly found the meat pie shoppe which was located on the first level of an historic home on the village’s main street. The pie shop with counter service was on the left side of the building. There were places to eat on the porch or on the sidewalk in front of the shoppe. There was also a “dining room” accessible through an outside door that had a huge table for family-style dining.
“Family-style dining!” shouted Aggie Ring, “We haven’t eaten family-style since…”
“Enough with the small talk.” I said, interrupting Aggie Ring. “Are we here to eat or what?”
Aggie Ring went to the counter and ordered a curried lamb pie and a sausage roll. After they took them out of the oven Aggie Ring carried his tray outside and into the dining room where he could eat “family-style.”
The pie and sausage roll were served on a tray with a wooden knife and fork which Aggie Ring thought was kind of cool. The lamb curry was very savory and was immensely enjoyed by the Aggie Ring. The sausage roll was nice and crispy and also delicious.
Aggie Ring ripped through his meal. The speed at which he devoured his lunch was pretty damn impressive, even for a hungry Aggie Ring. It reminded Aggie Ring of all of that TDY to Northern England that the Army sent him on all of the time.
In order for you gentle readers to comprehend how quickly Aggie Ring ate the savoury pie, I’ll let him describe a plausible scenario to give you a mental picture of how quickly a delicious food product can be finished.
– – – – – –
“I’ve got a little story to tell you Ags…” said the Jersey Shore Aggie Ring.
“Imagine, if you would, a bus full of Waggies traveling down the highway in Central Texas. Now, these Waggies haven’t had dessert in four hours so they’re angry and ravenous… Well, more than they normally would be, given that it has been four hours since they had any dessert. Everyone knows how angry a Waggie gets when she hasn’t had any dessert.”
Aggie Ring continued on with his story…
“Well, the bus full of Waggies is heading down the highway towards the Texas A&M Campus. All of a sudden the Waggie driving the bus sees that a truck carrying a full load of plastic spoons has collided with a big Blue Bell Ice Cream truck on its way from the factory to deliver fresh Blue Bell Ice Cream to grocery stores and BBQ restaurants all over Central Texas.”
“The Waggies see the plastic spoons all over the highway and hundreds of half-gallon containers of Blue Bell Ice Cream spilled next to the delivery truck. There’s French Vanilla, Cookies and Cream, Cookie Dough, Rocky Road, Strawberry, Homemade Vanilla, Chocolate Chip, and dozens of other varieties just lying there by the overturned truck.”
Aggie Ring then got towards the end of the story…
“Well, out of an abundance of caution and selfless service for humanity, the Waggies all pile out of the bus, grab some of the plastic spoons and start devouring the Blue Bell so melted ice cream won’t flow all over the highway and cause even more traffic accidents.”
“It would be a thing of beauty,” said Aggie Ring. “Waggies on both sides of the highway with two or three containers of Blue Bell in each of their laps and a spoon in each hand as they frantically spoon all of that free delicious Blue Bell Ice Cream into their mouths. We’ve all know how quickly a Waggie can take out a half-gallon of Blue Bell—we’ve all seen it. It would hardly take a couple of dozen of the Wags any time at all to finish off the entire shipment.”
“There you have it.” says Aggie Ring. “The Waggies quickly save the day. Disaster adverted. The Blue Bell would all be gone and traffic would be safe from a dangerous, melted sticky mess along the highway. The Wags pile back onto the bus and head back to the A&M Campus wondering what will be at the dessert bar at Duncan Dining Hall that evening.
“And that Ags, is how quickly an Aggie Ring can put down a lamb curry pie!”

MADE-Slow PRESENTATION OF QUALITY IRISH FASHION DESIGN – AVOCA HANDWEAVERS [FASHION SHOW AT THE RDS JANUARY 2018]-136186
Image by infomatique
Avoca Handweavers, now mostly known simply as Avoca, is a clothing manufacturing, retail and food business in Ireland. The company began in Avoca, County Wicklow and is the oldest working woollen mill in Ireland and one of the world’s oldest manufacturing companies. It is also Ireland’s oldest surviving business. Although commonly believed to have come from Wicklow, the family are from Sligo.
The mill on the banks of the fast-flowing River Avoca survives from at least 1723. Travel to and from the remote village was difficult and a barter system was used. The mill was used for grinding corn for bread and spinning and weaving wool.
In 1760 a Fly Shuttle Loom, capable of weaving up to 20 metres of cloth a day arrived. Workers, concerned about possible unemployment, resorted to burning some looms.
Three sisters, the Wynnes, inherited the mill in the 1920s and introduced colour. Avoca Handweavers tweeds was produced and exported, including for use by Italian designer Elsa Schiaparelli. The material was also used for a waistcoat for King George VI and baby blankets for the children of Queen Elizabeth II.
In 1974, Donald Pratt, a solicitor engaged to handle the sale of the mill which now faced closure decided to buy it himself. Along with his wife, Hilary, a teacher, he set about getting Avoca Handweavers back on its feet. The Pratts began exporting handwoven rugs and throws to the UK and other countries. Avoca throws are still sold across the globe.
Managed now by two generations of the Pratt family, Avoca continues to develop with several large retail outlets around Ireland, including Powerscourt and Malahide Castle, and in Belfast. Many of these also have popular foodhalls & cafes attached as their food operations expand. The Avoca Café Cookbooks have proven to be popular bestsellers.
The company has a number of women’s clothing ranges which it sells through its own stores designed by Amanda Pratt, as well as wholesaling in Ireland and internationally. The best known of these is Avoca Anthology.
Avoca is also strongly associated with gardens and has several very rare trees in its Kilmacanogue grounds and one of Ireland’s most famous gardens at Mount Usher Gardens in Ashford, County Wicklow. The company employs over 600 people.
