It’s that time of year again, the trees are blooming, bud break on the grape vines has just begun in the Columbia Valley, and best of all, the new wines are being released. That’s right we will be releasing the first of our 2009 wines at the end of this month. 2009 was a hot year, these wines are not shy, they are bold, full bodied, and delicious.
Stop in April 28 & 29 to be the first to try our 2009 Tempranillo and 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon. Over the course of the next several months will also be releasing the 2009 Malbec, 2011 Rose’ of Sangiovese, 2011 Sauvignon Blanc/Semillon Blend, and 2011 Viognier. We will release other 2009 varietals as inventories become depleted later in the year.
The release of the 2009’s also means we are running low on some of the 2008’s and we will be moving the 2008’s to Library status as we release the 2009’s. What is a Library wine? When possible we will be setting aside a certain number of cases of each wine in each vintage for those of you who are a fan of a particular year and will also from time to time, as our library grows, be doing vertical tastings of several vintages. A small amount of these library wines will continue to be available for purchase at a premium. The 2008 Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon will be available at the regular price until May 13th, after that the price will increase to $31 & $35 respectively. So stop in to stock up if you are a big fan of our 2008’s, please see below for currently available quantities. These will run out, so don’t wait. You can also reserve yours by ordering on our website and specifying pick-up if you do not want them shipped and don’t have time to stop in right away.
