SBR – The new vintage of Sneaky Bastard Red is now available! Stop in and find out why it is good to be sneaky.
 

Reminiscent – Larry says that he is going to bottle the 2008 vintage of Reminiscent in mid-April, and that it will be ready for sale around the 3rd week. Sheila wants to give it a bit of a cushion by saying May 1st. Check back and see who was right! – Well, if you have been waiting for the answer to this, you will find out that Larry was right (possibly the first time he was right and Sheila was wrong, at least that she will admit).
 

DeCHAUNAC

We finally have a dry red back on the shelves! As with our previous dry wines, we have a limited supply – just 80 cases – which will only be available at the winery. This medium–bodied dry red is a great wine for all occasions – from rustic barbeque to the sophisticated holiday meals. Stop in and try a bottle!
