Our vineyards look like a box of Trix Here's the way our vineyards looked this morning. Full technicolor! Rich, textured with lots of saturated color. It's a great time to visit the wine country, if you can get away. But hurry, a couple more rainy days and it'll all be gone until next autumn.
Harvest Report. Although it's way too early to know for sure, vintage 2004 looks like it will be one of our best. We orchestrated 10 picking days between Sep. 10th, which was early, and finished Oct. 25th. Our goal is to harvest each of the eight grape varietals we're growing right at their peak of flavor. As a general statement each of our varietals slowly reached good sugar levels and flavor maturity. We're really looking forward to nurturing these wines along over the winter.
What goes best with turkey? Around this time each year just before Thanksgiving you start seeing articles written about which wines supposedly pair best with a Thanksgiving meal. Here are a couple: Fabulous Foods "Thanksgiving Wine Advisor" Star Chef "Taking Sides: Wines for Thanksgiving"
Many writers seem to agree that you almost can't make a bad choice. And we've found over the years, we've paired a very wide range of wines our special meal. So we decided that we couldn't and shouldn't recommend just one particular wine this month.
We call it "The 6 for 4 Turkey Special in case the rellies stay longer..." Probably best to have a little extra wine on hand for relatives and friends over the long Thanksgiving weekend. Choose any of our wines and receive 6 bottles for the price of four.
We'd like to be true to our stated aim at the start of the year that "It's our 10th Birthday... but you get the presents all year long." This special monthly offer ends Nov. 21, 2004 and applies to web and telephone orders only.
FREE SHIPPING on 6 or more bottles shipped via UPS Ground.
