Uptown Wine Club Monthly Membership

CoCo Noir Wine Shop - Uptown Wine Club - October 2023 Wine Selection

To kick off our wine club for November 2023, we are featuring P. Harrell Wines by founder Paula Harrell.

Most Californians love wine, but few can match the passion of San Francisco native, founder, and creator of P. Harrell Wines – Paula J. Harrell. Paula is a staple in the San Francisco and Oakland communities – having cultivated a formidable reputation as a businesswoman, entrepreneur, and community leader.

She credits her parents – her mother an immigrant from Panama and her father an Oklahoma-born American military veteran – for instilling the entrepreneurial spirit in her and her four siblings as they built a thriving residential care facility business in San Francisco starting in the late 1960s. While pursuing her BA at UCLA, Paula studied abroad in Madrid, Spain and sparked her passion for wine. After graduating UCLA, she returned to San Francisco where she received an MBA in Small Business Management & Entrepreneurship from San Francisco State University and joined her father in running the family business. She also launched what has become a longstanding career in real estate investing and mortgage finance. Paula continues to run the family real estate business today.

In this month's wine club our wine team along with the P.Harrell wine team have selected 2 amazing wines from their wine portfolio.

 2018 Blanc De Noirs Sparkling Wine

This sparkling wine is brioche and a hint of berry, with bright citrus in the aromas. The fine mousse brings along these notes in the mouth. And with the lingering finish of citrus, it begs for another taste.

2021 Riesling

 The Riesling has subtle aromas of lime zest, pink grapefruit, bosc pear and white flowers suggestive of jasmine and honeysuckle. The palate has a small amount of effervescence, that reveals fresh and lively flavors of tart green apple, star fruit and lime followed by a subtle note of chamomile on the finish.
