Vineyard Diary

I'll be pouring our new release Zinfandel and Merlot at the Monterey Plaza Hotel and Spa on Wednesday. This is one of my favorite Monterey hotels, so I'm really looking forward to the event, hosted for the Travel Industry Association of America.

Don't forget to mark your calendars for the 14th Annual Winemakers' Celebration, held August 12 at Monterey's historic Custom House Plaza. You'll have the opportunity to taste new releases and special wines from over 45 Monterey County wineries. The event will also feature educational seminars, barrel building, live music and a silent auction, where you can bid on our newly released 2003 Merlot!

Coming up in September is Oldtown Soledad Beautification Association's Wind and Wine Festival. This is a unique and fun event, and one that the whole family can enjoy. Last year, festival goers saw stunning kite displays and took helicopter rides above the town. Check back soon as I'll be posting more information about this event in a week or so.
