Perfect Gift, Samplers, and Events

Valentine's day is next week and here's my reminder that our Estate Toucanet and chocolate is the perfect gift. We also announced new 3 and 6 bottle sampler packs in our recent newsletter. Here's a picture of Estate Toucanet that arrived in the New York area this week headed for retail stores and restaurants.

Our wine festival event schedule is coming together and we hope we'll see you at the event closest to you!

Here we are in early February and the weather on the central coast has been awesome - spring-like and great outdoor working weather. Terrie and I finished the pruning and all the cuttings are removed from the vineyard. I've started a few of the other small chores in the vineyard and we are gearing up for the job of raising the drip wire in the oldest section of the vineyard. Friend and volunteer Robert has joined us for a week of hard work and we're off to a great start.

Please let me know if I can help you select the perfect gift for you Valentine!

The 35 cases we separately produced from the great 2007 vintage is definitely worth a try. Find it at Lund's in the village of Arroyo Grande and soon at local wine shops and wine bars.
