Séka Hills Premium Arbequina Mentioned in SF Gate
Emily Luchetti, San Francisco Chronicle baking columnist, named Séka Hills Premium Arbequina her favorite olive oil in "A bundt cake without butter." Here's what she had to say:
My new favorite olive oil is Seka Hills. It's estate-grown, milled and processed by the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation Indians in the Capay Valley. The Arbequina olive oil has a floral and citrus flavor followed by a nice balance of bitterness at the end, which works well in sweet as well as savory recipes.

Séka Hills Viognier Noted by Connoisseurs’ Guide to California Wine
This is what Connoisseurs’ Guide to California Wine (subscription required) had to say about the Séka Hills 2012 Viognier:
Here is Viognier at its juicy and accessible best with lots of fresh flowers and peachy fruit to the fore. It is moderately full-bodied and a touch soft at the edges, but it is no slave to ripeness and steers clear of the heat that its more dramatic cousins too often show with a crisping, citrusy bite coming on at the end. While it gets good marks for balance, it is a wine that we would choose to drink sooner than later, and its mannerly style makes its easy to pair with a wide range of foods.
To taste Séka Hills Viognier, order it online.
You can also taste our Viognier at the upcoming Rhone Rangers Tasting on April 5. http://www.rhonerangers.org/calendar/sf_grand_tasting.php
