Thermoelectric Wine Cellar just for you! It has duel temperature zones that maintain the perfect temperature for red & white wines. There is a touch control LCD display soft interior lighting with "on" & "off" control, pull out chrome selves, automatic panel lock and a tempered smoked glass door.
Of course, the shelves are filled with a mix of 12 red and white Twomey and Silver Oak wine and some are even signed by the wine maker.

Silver Oak
Wine is a subjective, personal experience. Like fine art or music, each person can and will experience wine in a different way. While some find joy in a deep and complex evaluation of wine, most find the key question to evaluate a wine is: Do you like it? With this in mind, we enjoy greeting guests at our Tasting Room or on the road and sharing our unique experience that is Silver Oak.
Here is what goes in to each Silver Oak bottle.

Silver Oak complements winery-owned fruit with grapes from top independent growers throughout the Napa and Alexander Valley appellations, giving our winemaking team access to the highest-caliber fruit to make Cabernet of the finest quality.
We have yet to make our best bottle of wine." This is a saying we have at Silver Oak that embodies our commitment to quality, continuous improvement and excellence. Our pursuit of making our best bottle of wine continues as in 2015 we became the sole owners of a Missouri-based cooperage we proudly call The Oak Cooperage.

No detail goes overlooked in our pursuit of excellent wine, and that includes cork quality. Associate Winemaker Christiane Schleussner pioneered the use of the "dry soak" method with a team of researchers from Cork Supply USA, and this method has given Silver Oak one of the lowest cork taint rates on large-format bottles in the wine industry: 0.53% cork taint versus the 4% industry standard.

Bottle shock is real. It takes a full-bodied red wine 12 months to fully recover and show the full expression of fruit that it had before bottling. We give wine more time in the bottle, and the end result is a food-friendly, moderate-alcohol (13-14.1%) Cabernet that is drinkable upon release.

Twomey (pronounced "2 me")
Continuous improvement - or the notion that our best wines are still ahead of us - has been our driving force at Silver Oak for more than 45 years. At Twomey, we combine this philosophy, experience, and a sense of curiosity with the exploration of outstanding vineyards and growing regions from California to Oregon.
Wine quality starts in the vineyard, and sites capable of producing complex, layered wines are rare. Across all of our vineyards, we pursue sites that reveal a delicate balance between place and the classic characteristics of their respective growing regions.
This happy confluence of sun, soil, climate, orientation, slope and proximity to the Pacific Ocean makes a vineyard special, but farming with intention and a profound respect for the environment also plays a critical role in fruit character and quality.
Wine should be delicious, plain and simple. Great wines make us want to take another sip. Twomey wines are food-friendly, which to us means versatile wines that balance modest alcohol and tannin with perfectly ripe fruit and crisp, mouthwatering acidity. Our wines are made to be savored and enjoyed the way you like them, at the dinner table with food, friends and family.
